Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine compositions, in particular to a kidney-tonifying and spleen-nourishing traditional Chinese medicine composition for yin-yang dual supplementation and spleen-kidney coordination, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Most existing kidney-tonifying traditional Chinese medicines focus on single yin-yang regulation. Simple yang-warming types (such as Jinkui Shenqi Pill) contain ingredients such as aconite and cassia, which are potent yang-warming components. The incidence of yang-warming causing yin damage is as high as 32% (Chinese Patent Medicine Adverse Reaction Monitoring Report 2022). Symptoms include dry mouth, sore throat, irritability, and insomnia. Yin-nourishing and essence-filling types (such as Liuwei Dihuang Pill) use prepared rehmannia as the core ingredient. The moistening and greasy nature of prepared rehmannia leads to a 28% incidence of abdominal distension in people with weak spleen and stomach. It is often accompanied by problems such as loss of appetite and loose and watery stools. At the same time, the mainstream dosage forms have obvious defects. Decoctions need to be decocted for more than 40 minutes every day, which is cumbersome and the effective components are prone to volatilization. Ordinary capsules have a disintegration time of more than 30 minutes and a bioavailability of only 58%, resulting in poor long-term patient compliance. In addition, existing products generally lack clear multi-dimensional pharmacodynamic substance basis control (such as key components such as icariin and astragaloside A). Only a few detect 1-2 components, which makes it difficult to ensure the stability of the therapeutic effect. Most of them do not take into account the synergistic regulation mechanism of "kidney as the root of the body and spleen as the root of the afterlife", and the therapeutic effect on complex deficiency of the spleen and kidney (such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees accompanied by abdominal distension, and fatigue accompanied by aversion to cold) is limited, with a total effective rate of less than 60%.
[0003] The present application aims to solve the five core problems of existing kidney-tonifying traditional Chinese medicines: 1) significant side effects of yang-warming causing yin damage or moistening and greasy hindering the stomach; 2) low bioavailability of the dosage form and incomplete absorption of effective components; 3) insufficient synergistic regulation of the spleen and kidney, resulting in poor therapeutic effect on complex deficiency; 4) single pharmacodynamic substance basis and poor quality controllability; and 5) insufficient stability of some components, resulting in a decline in therapeutic effect after long-term storage. The present application further provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition for tonifying the kidney and strengthening the spleen and a preparation method thereof, which are more accurate in balancing yin and yang, more efficient in coordinating the spleen and kidney, have fewer side effects, higher bioavailability, stronger quality stability, and are suitable for a wider range of people.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0033] 1. Significantly reduced side effects: By combining "Epimedium-Polygonatum-Ophiopogon japonicus" to nourish Yin and Yang, replacing the pure warming Yang combination of Aconitum carmichaelii-Cinnamomum cassia, a clinical observation of 100 patients showed that the incidence of Yin deficiency due to heat and dryness (dry mouth, sore throat) was reduced to 3% (compared to 32% in existing products). The volatile oil of Citrus reticulata peel was purified by membrane filtration, and the incidence of abdominal distension due to greasiness was reduced to 5% (compared to 28% in existing products). There were no new side effects such as loss of appetite or loose stools.
[0034] 2. Significantly improved bioavailability: By adopting fractional extraction (60% ethanol + water extraction), supercritical extraction, and enteric-coated capsule technology, the disintegration time is shortened to less than 3 minutes (compared to more than 30 minutes for existing capsules); pharmacokinetic studies in rats show that the in vivo absorption rate of icariin, astragaloside A, and Lycium barbarum polysaccharides is increased by 60%, and the bioavailability reaches 86% (compared to 58% for existing products).
[0035] 3. Enhanced efficacy in regulating both spleen and kidney: Combined with Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Cuscuta chinensis, Dioscorea opposita, and Alpinia oxyphylla, and with the addition of other herbs, a multi-dimensional conditioning system is formed that tonifies Qi, nourishes the kidney, strengthens the spleen, and nourishes the liver. The overall effective rate for the complex syndrome of kidney Yang deficiency combined with spleen Qi deficiency and liver and kidney insufficiency reaches 96%. The time for improvement of clinical symptoms is shortened, and the average relief time for symptoms such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, abdominal distension, and fatigue is shortened from 10 days to 7 days.
[0036] 4. Improved quality controllability and stability: An HPLC fingerprint was established, containing 8 characteristic peaks including icariin, astragaloside A, loganin, cuscutoside, and Lycium barbarum polysaccharide, with a similarity of ≥0.99, which is superior to existing products (which only detect 1-2 components); through vacuum drying and enteric encapsulation, the product can be stored at room temperature for 24 months with an effective ingredient content decay rate of ≤5% (the decay rate of existing products is 15%).
[0037] 5. Expanded applicable population: Due to reduced side effects and synergistic regulation of the spleen, kidneys and liver, it is not only suitable for adults with spleen and kidney deficiency and yin-yang imbalance, but also for daily health care of middle-aged and elderly people (such as preventing osteoporosis and improving sleep quality), as well as for regulating spleen and kidney function in patients during postoperative recovery. The applicable population has expanded by 30% compared to the original formula. Detailed Implementation
[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0039] This invention provides a technical solution for a traditional Chinese medicine composition that tonifies both Yin and Yang and regulates both the spleen and kidneys, as well as its preparation method and application:
[0040] The composition comprises principal, assistant, adjuvant, guiding, and synergistic ingredients, and the formulation follows the principles of "mutual rooting of Yin and Yang, common origin of spleen and kidney, tonification without stagnation, and warming without drying." The composition comprises the following components by weight:
[0041] The principal herbs are: Epimedium 10-20 parts (warming and tonifying kidney yang, containing epimedin ≥0.5%) and Polygonatum 8-15 parts (nourishing yin and replenishing essence, containing Polygonatum polysaccharide ≥15%), which precisely balance yin and yang and avoid the drawbacks of simply warming yang or nourishing yin;
[0042] Assistant herbs: Astragalus membranaceus 12-20 parts (tonifies qi and raises yang, strengthens the spleen and consolidates the exterior, contains astragaloside A ≥0.08%), Rehmannia glutinosa 10-18 parts (nourishes yin and blood, replenishes essence and marrow, contains catalpol ≥0.1%), Cuscuta chinensis 9-13 parts (tonifies the kidney and replenishes essence, nourishes the liver and improves eyesight, contains dodderin ≥0.07%). This combination of tonifying qi and nourishing blood, with Cuscuta chinensis working synergistically with the principal herbs to enhance the kidney-tonifying effect, while also addressing liver yin, achieving "simultaneous tonification of the liver and kidneys".
[0043] The adjuvant herbs are: Atractylodes macrocephala 8-12 parts (strengthening the spleen and drying dampness, invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, containing atractylodes macrocephala lactone I ≥0.05%), Cornus officinalis 6-10 parts (tonifying the liver and kidneys, astringing and consolidating, containing loganin ≥0.2%), Dioscorea opposita 10-14 parts (tonifying the spleen and stomach, promoting body fluids and benefiting the lungs, containing Dioscorea opposita polysaccharide ≥12%), and Lycium barbarum 8-12 parts (tonifying the liver and kidneys, benefiting essence and improving eyesight, containing Lycium barbarum polysaccharide ≥15%). This combination strengthens the regulation of the spleen and kidneys. Dioscorea opposita works with Atractylodes macrocephala to strengthen the spleen and alleviates the cloying nature of Rehmannia glutinosa. Lycium barbarum works with Cornus officinalis to nourish the liver and kidneys, forming a dual regulation network of "spleen and kidneys - liver and kidneys".
[0044] Medicinal ingredients: 5-8 parts dried tangerine peel (to regulate qi and harmonize the middle jiao, and prevent greasiness), 3-5 parts prepared licorice root (to harmonize the other herbs, and to replenish qi and nourish the middle jiao);
[0045] Synergistic ingredients: 5-7 parts of Alpinia oxyphylla (warms the kidneys, strengthens essence, reduces urination, warms the spleen, stops diarrhea, and reduces salivation, containing ≥0.04% Alpinia oxyphylla) and 6-8 parts of Ophiopogon japonicus (nourishes yin, generates fluids, moistens the lungs, and clears the heart, containing ≥10% Ophiopogon japonicus polysaccharide). Alpinia oxyphylla benefits both the spleen and kidneys, enhancing the effects of warming the kidneys, stopping diarrhea, and astringing. Ophiopogon japonicus, together with Polygonatum sibiricum, nourishes yin, alleviating any possible residual mild dryness, and improving symptoms of dry mouth.
[0046] In the formulation, the ratio of Epimedium to Polygonatum is 1.2:1 (balancing Yin and Yang), the ratio of Astragalus to Atractylodes macrocephala is 1.5:1 (regulating both the spleen and kidneys), and the amount of Citrus reticulata peel is ≤8 parts (to avoid depleting Qi).
[0047] A method for preparing a traditional Chinese medicine composition that tonifies both Yin and Yang and regulates both the spleen and kidneys includes the following steps:
[0048] Step 1:
[0049] Pre-treatment: Remove impurities from all Chinese medicinal materials and clean them thoroughly. Slice Epimedium, Polygonatum, Rehmannia glutinosa, Cuscuta chinensis, and Lycium barbarum into 2-4mm thick slices. Grind Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Cornus officinalis, Dioscorea opposita, Alpinia oxyphylla, and Ophiopogon japonicus into coarse powder of 15-25 mesh. Grind Citrus reticulata peel and Glycyrrhiza uralensis into fine powder of 75-85 mesh. Set aside.
[0050] Step Two:
[0051] Hierarchical extraction:
[0052] Epimedium, Polygonatum, Rehmannia glutinosa, and Cuscuta chinensis were extracted twice by reflux with 60% ethanol for 110-130 minutes each time. The extracts were filtered and the filtrates were combined to obtain a fat-soluble extract. The extraction was optimized using 60% ethanol to improve the dissolution rate of fat-soluble components such as icariin and cuscuta glycoside.
[0053] Take Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Cornus officinalis, Dioscorea opposita, Alpinia oxyphylla, and Ophiopogon japonicus, add water at a ratio of 1:10, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer twice over low heat. The first simmering time is 90-110 minutes, and the second simmering time is 70-90 minutes. Filter and combine the filtrates to obtain a water-soluble extract. Extending the first simmering time improves the extraction efficiency of water-soluble components such as astragaloside A and Dioscorea opposita polysaccharides.
[0054] Fine powder of dried tangerine peel is extracted using supercritical CO2 extraction to obtain volatile oil. The extraction pressure is 30-32 MPa, the extraction temperature is 40-45℃, and the extraction time is 110-130 minutes. This method avoids the loss of volatile oil caused by traditional decoction and enhances the effects of regulating qi and harmonizing the stomach.
[0055] Step 3:
[0056] Concentration and purification: The fat-soluble extract obtained in step two is concentrated under reduced pressure to a relative density of 1.18-1.22 (58-62℃) to obtain a fat-soluble concentrated paste;
[0057] The water-soluble extract obtained in step two is first filtered through a ceramic membrane with a pore size of 100 nm to remove macromolecular impurities, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to a relative density of 1.12-18 (58-62℃) to obtain a water-soluble concentrated paste. Adding a membrane filtration step improves product purity and reduces potential discomfort such as bloating.
[0058] Step Four:
[0059] Mixing and granulation: The fat-soluble concentrated paste and water-soluble concentrated paste obtained in step 3 are mixed evenly, and the volatile oil of dried tangerine peel obtained in step 2, the fine powder of roasted licorice obtained in step 1, and 9-11 parts of dextrin are added. The mixture is stirred evenly to form a soft mass. The dextrin excipient can improve the flowability of the granules.
[0060] The above soft material is granulated by passing it through a 16-mesh sieve and then dried in a vacuum drying oven at a temperature of 58-62℃ for 180-200 minutes. The material is turned over twice during the drying process to ensure uniform drying and obtain dry granules. Vacuum drying reduces the oxidation of active ingredients and improves stability.
[0061] The dry granules are sieved through a 20-mesh sieve to remove fine powder and large particles, resulting in uniform granules.
[0062] Step 5: Capsule filling: Fill the capsules with the uniform granules from step 4, 0.5g per capsule. Use enteric-coated empty capsules to avoid stomach acid damaging the active ingredients and ensure precise release in the intestines. Preferred embodiment

[0076] Fine powder of dried tangerine peel was extracted using supercritical CO2 extraction to obtain volatile oil from the tangerine peel. The extraction pressure was 31 MPa, the extraction temperature was 42℃, and the extraction time was 120 minutes.
[0077] Step 3:
[0078] Concentration and purification: The lipid-soluble extract obtained in step two is concentrated under reduced pressure to a relative density of 1.2 (60℃) to obtain a lipid-soluble concentrated paste;
[0079] The water-soluble extract obtained in step two is first filtered through a ceramic membrane with a pore size of 100 nm to remove macromolecular impurities, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to a relative density of 1.15 (60℃) to obtain a water-soluble concentrated paste.
[0080] Step Four:
