TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and particularly relates to a modified Zhenwu decoction and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The prior art (Peng Z L, et al. Systematic evaluation of clinical efficacy of Zhenwu decoction in treating chronic heart failure with heart-kidney yang deficiency [J]. Chinese Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 2017(35):3101-3106.) discloses that Zhenwu decoction is composed of aconite, paeonia, atractylodes, poria, and ginger, and has a good effect on patients with chronic heart failure with heart-kidney yang deficiency in clinical practice. However, at present, the treatment of heart-kidney yang deficiency heart failure by Zhenwu decoction is mainly limited to the regulation of water and electrolyte metabolism (warming yang and promoting water excretion), and lacks intervention on the problems of progressive deterioration of cardiac function caused by myocardial mitochondrial ultrastructure damage, ATP synthesis deficiency and abnormal energy metabolism. Moreover, with the aging process of the population, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) will gradually become the main form of chronic heart failure in the future, and also become one of the important unsolved problems in current cardiology.
[0003] Current research believes that HFpEF is mainly characterized by diastolic dysfunction, but it also has systolic dysfunction, limited systolic function reserve, pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular dysfunction, vascular and endothelial abnormalities, cardiac chronotropic insufficiency, left atrial dysfunction, and peripheral abnormalities. The complex interaction of all these pathophysiological mechanisms drives the symptoms and outcome of HFpEF patients to worsen, and also makes drug development for HFpEF challenging. Compared with the breakthroughs of drugs such as sacubitril valsartan, vericiguat and dapagliflozin in the treatment of HFrEF, there is no recognized treatment method that can change the clinical course and prognosis of HFpEF. Based on the heterogeneity and complexity of HFpEF, referring to the design idea of sacubitril valsartan (ARNI) (angiotensin II receptor-angiotensin converting enzyme dual inhibition), starting from multiple pathways and multiple targets, it may be a breakthrough point for the research of HFpEF drugs.
[0004] Traditional Chinese medicine believes that HFpEF belongs to the category of “asthma” and “edema”, and the pathogenesis is based on qi deficiency and yang deficiency, and blood stasis and water retention. The treatment principle is to tonify qi and warm yang, and tonify qi and activate blood. However, although the disease is located in the heart, the root of qi deficiency and yang deficiency is still in the kidney. Moreover, studies have shown that kidney yang is closely related to the pathological mechanisms of water and electrolyte metabolism and myocardial energy metabolism in the development of HFpEF. Therefore, for the treatment of HFpEF, the core pathogenesis is “heart-kidney yang deficiency, water and dampness, and blood stasis”, and it is more valuable to start from the heart and kidney, tonify kidney essence to nourish heart qi, and warm kidney yang to assist heart yang. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a safe and effective traditional Chinese medicine composition that can assist in the treatment of HFpEF. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application aims to provide a flavored Zhenwu Decoction and application thereof. The flavored Zhenwu Decoction is used for treating heart failure, which is a syndrome of "heart-kidney yang deficiency, water-dampness flooding, and blood stasis blocking collaterals", to solve the clinical defects of the existing Zhenwu Decoction, which is only suitable for water-dampness retention syndrome and cannot intervene in the core pathology of HFpEF with yang deficiency and blood stasis.
[0006] According to a first aspect of the present application, a flavored Zhenwu Decoction is provided, which is composed of the following raw materials by weight: 10-30 parts of Danfupian, 6-18 parts of Shengsaishen, 10-30 parts of Fuling, 8-24 parts of Shengbaishu, 10-30 parts of Baishao, 20-60 parts of Maodongqing, and 4-12 parts of Hongjingtian.
[0007] In some embodiments, the flavored Zhenwu Decoction is composed of the following raw materials by weight: 10-20 parts of Danfupian, 6-15 parts of Shengsaishen, 10-20 parts of Fuling, 8-20 parts of Shengbaishu, 10-20 parts of Baishao, 20-40 parts of Maodongqing, and 4-10 parts of Hongjingtian.
[0008] In some embodiments, the flavored Zhenwu Decoction is composed of the following raw materials by weight: 15 parts of Danfupian, 9 parts of Shengsaishen, 15 parts of Fuling, 12 parts of Shengbaishu, 15 parts of Baishao, 30 parts of Maodongqing, and 6 parts of Hongjingtian.
[0009] In the prescription, Danfupian (Danfupian) warms the heart and kidney to assist the primordial yang, Shengsaishen strengthens the heart and spleen to supplement the primordial qi, both of which warm yang and supplement qi, restore yang and consolidate deficiency, strengthen the heart and warm the kidney, invigorate the spleen and supplement the lung, restore the root of yin and yang, and are the source of healthy blood, which are the monarch; Baishu invigorates the spleen and expels dampness, Fuling benefits water and calms the heart, both of which expel dampness and water to drain fluid, assist Danfupian and Shengsaishen to eliminate the misfortune of yang deficiency and water flooding, which are the ministers; Baishao nourishes yin, promotes blood circulation and benefits water, Maodongqing clears heat, promotes blood circulation and unblocks collaterals, Hongjingtian supplements qi, promotes blood circulation and unblocks collaterals, all of which promote blood circulation, benefit water and unblock collaterals, assist Baishu and Fuling to resolve the stagnation of water and blood, and Baishao and Maodongqing are slightly cool and sour, which can nourish yin and clear heat to prevent the whole prescription from being too dry and hot, which are the assistants. The whole prescription can warm yang and supplement qi, benefit water and expel dampness, and promote blood circulation and unblock collaterals.
[0010] The whole prescription focuses on the development process of chronic heart failure, which is "yang deficiency and water-dampness accumulation, and stagnation of qi and blood", Zhenwu Decoction and Dushen Decoction mainly warm yang, dispel cold, expel dampness and benefit water, and Shaoyao can "remove blood stasis, benefit urination, unblock blood vessels, and remove water and qi", which is used for blood stasis and water retention. The overall prescription strengthens the invigoration of blood circulation and unblocking of collaterals on the basis of the original prescription, which is more suitable for heart failure patients than the original prescription.
[0011] Considering that heart and kidney yang deficiency type HFpEF is often accompanied by symptoms of yang deficiency and blood stasis, the modified Zhenwu Decoction compound contains raw ginseng, hairy holly, and rhodiola rosea, which can synergistically activate coronary endothelial function, inhibit myocardial fibrosis, and repair mitochondrial energy metabolism, specifically improving patients' ventricular contractility and microcirculatory disorders.

[0038] Next, to explore the effect of the flavored Zhenwu decoction of the present application on the animal model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), the flavored Zhenwu decoction prepared in Example 1 is used for the following experiments.
[0039] I. Grouping 8-week-old C57BL / 6j male mice are randomly divided into sham operation group (Sham), HFpEF model group (Model), flavored Zhenwu decoction low-dose group (JWZWD-L), flavored Zhenwu decoction medium-dose group (JWZWD-M), flavored Zhenwu decoction high-dose group (JWZWD-H), and empagliflozin group after adaptive feeding for 1 week.
[0040] II. Modeling Except for the sham operation group, the rest of the mice are subjected to aortic arch constriction (TAC) + DOCA slow-release tablet subcutaneous implantation. The modeling method is as follows: 1% sodium pentobarbital 0.1 ml / 10 g is used for intraperitoneal injection to anesthetize the mice, and after the righting reflex disappears, the mice are fixed on the operating table. A 0.5 cm transverse incision is made on the upper edge of the sternum handle → the skin and subcutaneous tissue are cut open → the sternum handle is cut open along the midline for 3-4 mm, the two lobes of the thymus are pried apart to the head side with microforceps, and the aortic arch, innominate artery, and left common carotid artery bifurcation are visible. The connective tissue at the lower edge of the arch is gently torn with a curved forceps to form a 1 mm wide "window", a 7-0 suture needle is passed through the window from below the arch, and a 1.5 cm thread end is brought out; a pre-bent 27 G cushion needle is placed parallel to the anterior wall of the arch; after tying the aorta with two directionally opposite square knots, the cushion needle is quickly pulled out, and the arch diameter is instantly reduced to 0.4 mm, and the distal end shows obvious pulsatile enhancement; the thread is cut to leave a 1 mm thread end, and no active bleeding is checked. The mouse's back skin is cut open to form a transverse incision, the skin and subcutaneous tissue are bluntly separated with forceps, and the DOCA (deoxycorticosterone acetate) slow-release tablet is inserted between the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and the skin is sutured.
[0041] Then, the chest is closed with 6-0 suture, and the skin is sutured with 4-0 suture. The sham operation group is only cut open the sternum, the chest is closed and sutured, and no further operation is performed.
[0042] III. Administration After the mice were stable, they were given intragastric administration. According to the body surface area conversion, the mouse dose of Jiawei Zhenwu Decoction was 14.43 g / kg. The Jiawei Zhenwu Decoction low-dose group was given 0.5 times the human equivalent dose, i.e., 7.215 g / kg, the medium-dose group was given 1 times the human equivalent dose, i.e., 14.43 g / kg, and the high-dose group was given 2 times the human equivalent dose, i.e., 28.86 g / kg. According to the body surface area conversion, the mouse dose of empagliflozin was 1.3 g / Kg. The intragastric administration volume of each group was 0.1 ml / 10 g. The sham operation group and the model group were given the same amount of normal saline once a day for 1 month.
[0043] IV. Detection After one month, the mice were detected as follows: 1. Heart ultrasound After anesthesia with 2-3% isoflurane oxygen mixture, the mice were fixed after anesthesia, and the chest hair was removed with depilatory cream. The standard M-type effect was obtained on the long and short axis sections of the parasternal side to obtain indicators such as left ventricular short axis fractional shortening (LVFS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The passive left ventricular filling peak velocity, atrial contraction peak flow velocity A (cm / S), and mitral annulus diastolic early peak velocity e' (cm / S) were obtained from the mitral valve Doppler flow image of the four-chamber apical section, and the heart rate was maintained at 300-450 times / min.
[0044] 2. Morphological observation of heart Before the end of the experiment, the mice were weighed, and then the eyeball was taken after intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital anesthesia. Then the heart was removed at the midline incision of the chest, and the heart cavity was washed clean by gently squeezing the heart. After the residual water was absorbed with filter paper, the heart morphology was observed, and the whole heart was weighed, and the tibia length was measured.
[0045] 3. Detection of pulmonary edema After opening the chest, the heart and lung lobes were taken out, separated, rinsed, and the surface water was absorbed. The weight was measured, placed in a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube, and dried in a 60°C oven with the cap open. After 48 hours, the weight was measured again.

In addition, the results showed that the medium-dose of the modified Zhenwu Decoction had a better effect on improving the myocardial injury and collagen deposition than the low- and high-dose of the modified Zhenwu Decoction.
[0051] In addition, the effects of the modified Zhenwu Decoction on mitochondrial injury in the myocardial cells of the HFpEF mice were detected. The results showed that the mitochondrial injury in the myocardial cells of the HFpEF mice was significant, which was manifested as mitochondrial edema, loss of mitochondrial ridge and rupture. The results showed that the intervention of the modified Zhenwu Decoction could significantly reverse the mitochondrial injury in the myocardial cells of the HFpEF mice. In addition, the results were consistent with the previous results, and the results also showed that the medium-dose of the modified Zhenwu Decoction had the best efficacy.
