TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, in particular to a compound Sanguinaria officinalis Hance buccal tablet and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The compound Sanguinaria officinalis Hance buccal tablet is recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition) Part I, and the prescription is 30 g of arisaema total alkaloid extract, 0.5 g of menthol, and 0.3 mL of peppermint essential oil. The arisaema total alkaloid extract is prepared by taking arisaema, adding water and decocting twice, 2 hours for the first time and 1.5 hours for the second time, combining the decoction, filtering, concentrating the filtrate to a relative density of 1.15 (80 DEG C), adding ethanol to a content of 65%, standing for 24 hours, filtering, recovering ethanol from the filtrate under reduced pressure, and concentrating to a clear extract with a relative density of 1.24-1.26. The arisaema total alkaloid extract is added with an appropriate amount of excipient to prepare granules, which are dried. The menthol and peppermint essential oil are mixed to dissolve, and then mixed with the above granules, compressed into tablets, or coated with a film, to obtain the compound Sanguinaria officinalis Hance buccal tablet. The compound Sanguinaria officinalis Hance buccal tablet has the effects of dispelling wind and clearing heat, relieving swelling and pain, and clearing and benefiting the throat, and is commonly used for laryngalgia caused by exogenous wind-heat, with symptoms of sore throat, hoarseness and loss of voice.
[0003] The raw material menthol of the compound Sanguinaria officinalis Hance buccal tablet is a saturated cyclic alcohol obtained by water vapor distillation, freezing and recrystallization of fresh stems and leaves of the plant Mentha haplocalyx Briq., which is a colorless needle-shaped or prismatic crystalline or white crystalline powder. The peppermint essential oil is a volatile oil extracted by water vapor distillation, freezing and partial brain removal processing of fresh stems and leaves of the plant Mentha haplocalyx Briq., which is a colorless or pale yellow clear liquid. Both menthol and peppermint essential oil have the effects of dispelling wind and clearing heat, and detoxification. They act on the skin or mucous membrane to have the effect of cooling and relieving itching. When taken orally, they can be used as a wind-dispelling drug for headache and inflammation of the nose, throat and larynx, and as a fragrance-imparting agent for toothpaste, perfume, beverage and candy, etc. However, due to its unique chemical properties, it has high volatility and instability, which is not conducive to the taste and effect of the product. The compound Sanguinaria officinalis Hance buccal tablet prepared by the traditional preparation process has unstable content of menthol and peppermint essential oil during production and storage, which affects the cooling taste and curative effect of the product. The existing mixing method is extremely uneven in the preparation, which affects the quality of the product.
[0004] For this reason, a large number of studies on the protection method of menthol or mint oil. Chinese invention patent CN105664172A discloses a preparation method of menthol inclusion complex, the menthol is ultra-finely pulverized into menthol ultra-fine powder; then hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin and water are uniformly mixed by ultrasonic to prepare a hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin saturated aqueous solution; finally, the menthol ultra-fine powder is slowly added into the hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin saturated aqueous solution, and the ultrasonic inclusion is continuously carried out, and then the mixture is left to stand, filtered, and dried under vacuum to obtain the menthol hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin inclusion complex. In the method of the patent, the menthol ultra-fine powder below 5 μm needs to account for more than 90% of the whole, and the saturation rate of menthol is about 82%, which still has a great space for improvement.
[0005] Chinese invention patent CN116650486A discloses a cetirizine hydrochloride preparation containing menthol and a preparation method thereof. The preparation records a menthol inclusion complex inclusion process: β-cyclodextrin is added to an aqueous solution or a dilute ethanol solution to prepare an inclusion solution; menthol is added to the inclusion solution for menthol inclusion; the inclusion complex after inclusion is filtered, washed and dried to obtain the menthol inclusion complex. Although the inclusion of menthol can improve the stability of menthol, the preparation also contains filler, binder, disintegrant, lubricant and other auxiliary ingredients, which greatly affects the stability and cannot clearly determine the specific inclusion effect.
[0006] Moreover, the existing technology discloses a menthol inclusion technology with a complex preparation process, long inclusion time, low inclusion rate, poor preparation stability and uniformity. In order to solve the above technical problems, it is necessary to further study the preparation method of compound grass coral tablets, so as to obtain a method with stable product, high uniformity of active ingredients, short inclusion time, high inclusion rate and simple process.

The theoretical plate number should not be less than 10000 calculated by the menthol peak.
[0054] Determination method: about 1 g of the product was accurately weighed, dissolved and diluted to the mark in a 25 mL volumetric flask with anhydrous ethanol, shaken well to serve as the test solution, 1 μL was accurately injected into the gas chromatograph, and the chromatogram was recorded. The menthol reference substance was accurately weighed, dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a solution containing about 0.05 mg per 1 mL, and determined by the same method. The peak area was calculated by external standard method, and the result was obtained.
[0055] Inclusion rate calculation method: inclusion rate (%) = total menthol content of inclusion compound / total menthol content in menthol oil melt x 100%.
[0056] Uniformity detection method: 10 samples were taken from each group of examples and comparative examples, and the menthol content was detected according to the above gas chromatography method, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of each group of data was calculated. The relative standard deviation result is the uniformity result.

[0061] Table 2
[0062] As can be seen from Table 2, the preparation method of the present application can significantly improve the inclusion rate and the content of menthol; compared with the method of the comparative example, the uniformity is significantly improved.
[0063] 3. Stability of coated tablets During the preparation of compound grass coral lozenges of each example and comparative example, the menthol content (mg / g) of the coated tablets (not subjected to aluminum plastic packaging, stored at room temperature with the opening) was detected to represent the stability results of the coated tablets, and the detection results are shown in Table 3.
[0064] Table 3
[0065] As can be seen from Table 3, the preparation method of the present application can significantly improve the stability of the menthol content of the coated tablets; compared with the method of the comparative example, the stability of menthol is significantly improved.
[0066] 4. Stability investigation of compound grass coral lozenge finished products After the compound grass coral lozenges obtained from each example and comparative example were aluminum-plastic packaged and subpackaged, the finished products were placed in a constant temperature and humidity box with high temperature (40℃) and high humidity (relative humidity 75%) for accelerated testing for 3 months, and the menthol content was detected at 0 days, 1 month and 3 months, respectively.
[0067] The menthol content results are shown in Table 4.
[0068] Table 4
[0069] As can be seen from Table 4, the preparation method of the present application can significantly improve the stability of the compound grass leathery coral lozenge, and the content of menthol changes little after inclusion by a specific process.
