Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation that enhances transdermal absorption and antibacterial activity, as well as its preparation and application. Background Technology
[0002] Skin and mucous membrane-related diseases such as pruritus, eczema, various types of dermatitis, and gynecological inflammation are common and frequently occurring diseases in clinical practice. These diseases are often characterized by a long course, easy recurrence, and difficulty in complete cure. They are often accompanied by symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, exudation, erosion, or local discomfort, which not only seriously affect patients' daily life, work, and sleep quality, but also place a significant burden on their physical and mental health. Traditional Chinese medicine external preparations, due to their advantages of direct action, high local concentration, good safety, and few systemic toxic side effects, hold a unique position and are widely used in the treatment of skin and mucous membrane diseases.
[0003] Currently, various topical Chinese medicine compositions have been disclosed in existing technologies. These compositions often improve local symptoms through their effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling wind and dampness, killing insects and relieving itching, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, providing some options and references for the clinical prevention and treatment of related diseases. For example, Chinese patent application CN100372550C discloses a Chinese medicine preparation and preparation method for treating pruritus and gynecological inflammation. This preparation uses *Patrinia scabiosaefolia* as the principal ingredient and *Clematis chinensis* and *Ephedra sinica* as adjuvant ingredients. It has the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling wind and drying dampness, killing insects and relieving itching, gently expelling pathogens, and allowing the pathogens accumulated in the skin to be expelled from the skin. It has a wide range of indications and is used to treat gynecological vaginal inflammation, vulvar pruritus, measles, pruritus, eczema, pruritus caused by pesticide allergies, drug-induced skin allergies, rhinitis, scabies, frostbite, etc. It is an ideal topical Chinese medicine preparation for treating the above-mentioned diseases with significant efficacy, no obvious toxic side effects, and high safety and reliability. Although the preparation has certain therapeutic effects, the following problems exist in practical applications: (1) Low transdermal efficiency: The active ingredients in the traditional decoction extract (such as oleanolic acid, ephedrine, and anemone) have high molecular polarity and poor lipid solubility, making it difficult to penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin, resulting in insufficient local drug concentration and slow onset of action; (2) Insufficient stability: The water extract is prone to microbial growth, and preservatives (such as sodium benzoate) need to be added. Long-term use may cause skin irritation; (3) Limited antibacterial spectrum: Although it has inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, it is not effective against drug-resistant strains (such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and fluconazole-resistant Candida); (4) Single dosage form: It only provides lotion, which cannot meet the needs of different indications (such as eczema exudation and frostbite cracking) for dosage forms (gel, cream, spray).
[0004] Chinese patent application CN114748556A discloses a gynecological external antibacterial effervescent tablet, which also uses Patrinia scabiosaefolia, Clematis chinensis, and Ephedra sinica as raw materials. The effervescent tablet form improves ease of use, but this patent focuses on dosage form improvement and does not address enhanced transdermal absorption or synergistic effects against drug-resistant bacteria. Chinese patent CN103278582B relates to a detection method for the aforementioned preparation, but does not involve improvements to the formulation or efficacy.
[0005] In summary, while existing topical preparations of three traditional Chinese medicines possess basic therapeutic effects, they suffer from significant drawbacks in practical applications, including low transdermal absorption efficiency, insufficient formulation stability, limited antibacterial spectrum, and limited dosage form compatibility. These limitations make it difficult to meet the demands for highly effective clinical treatment, safe use, and adaptability to various scenarios. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an upgraded version of these three-herb topical preparations that can significantly improve the transdermal absorption efficiency of the active ingredients, broaden the antibacterial spectrum and enhance the inhibitory effect on drug-resistant strains, improve formulation stability to reduce irritation, and expand dosage form compatibility. This would comprehensively enhance clinical therapeutic efficacy and application value. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation with enhanced transdermal absorption and antibacterial activity, as well as its preparation and application. This invention, while retaining the classic formula, introduces modern formulation technology to provide a three-herb compound preparation with high transdermal absorption efficiency, a broad antibacterial spectrum, good stability, and diverse dosage forms. *Patrinia scabiosaefolia* is the principal herb, clearing heat and detoxifying, eliminating carbuncles and draining pus; *Clematis chinensis* is the assistant herb, dispelling wind and dampness, unblocking meridians and relieving pain, assisting the principal herb in enhancing its ability to expel pathogens; *Ephedra sinica* is the adjuvant herb, gently dispersing pathogens and expelling accumulated toxins, while also promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. The three herbs work together to clear heat and detoxify, dispel wind and dry dampness, expel pathogens and relieve itching. Furthermore, this invention creatively incorporates a composite transdermal absorption enhancer and a nanoliposome carrier to guide the herbs directly to the affected area, enhancing transdermal absorption; the natural antibacterial synergist works synergistically with the principal, assistant, and adjuvant herbs to enhance the effects of resolving blood stasis and detoxifying, exhibiting unique advantages against drug-resistant strains. This invention achieves a dual enhancement of transdermal absorption and antibacterial activity through the synergistic effect of a nanoliposome carrier, a composite transdermal penetration enhancer, and a natural antibacterial synergist. Specifically, the nanoliposome carrier increases skin retention and penetration drive; the composite transdermal penetration enhancer improves the stratum corneum barrier, providing a channel for drug penetration; and the natural antibacterial synergist and the antibacterial components in the traditional Chinese medicine compound act on different antibacterial targets, producing a synergistic antibacterial effect, especially showing significant inhibitory activity against drug-resistant strains. This invention not only significantly improves the transdermal penetration efficiency of the active ingredient but also broadens the antibacterial spectrum and expands dosage form compatibility, overcoming the technical shortcomings of existing technologies such as low transdermal efficiency, poor inhibitory effect on drug-resistant strains, the need for chemical preservatives, and limited dosage form options.
[0007] The technical solution of this invention is: A compound preparation of three Chinese herbal medicines that enhances transdermal absorption and antibacterial activity includes the following raw materials and their mass proportions: 20 parts of Patrinia scabiosaefolia, 15 parts of Clematis chinensis, 15 parts of Ephedra sinica, 0.1-0.5 parts of transdermal absorption promoter, 3-10 parts of nanoliposome carrier, and 0.2-0.8 parts of natural antibacterial synergist.
[0008] Furthermore, the three-herb compound preparation for enhancing transdermal absorption and antibacterial activity includes the following raw materials and their mass proportions: 20 parts of Patrinia scabiosaefolia, 15 parts of Clematis chinensis, 15 parts of Ephedra sinica, 0.3 parts of transdermal absorption promoter, 10 parts of nanoliposome carrier, and 0.8 parts of natural antibacterial synergist.
[0009] In this invention, the source of *Patrinia scabiosaefolia* is the dried whole herb of *Patrinia scabiosaefolia*, a plant in the Valerianaceae family. The source of *Clematis manshurica* is the dried root and rhizome of *Clematis manshurica* Rupr., a plant in the Ranunculaceae family. The source of *Ephedra sinica* is the dried herbaceous stem of *Ephedra sinica* Stapf., *Ephedra intermedia* Schrenket C.A.Mey., or *Ephedra equisetina* Bge., all plants in the Ephedrine family.
[0010] Furthermore, the transdermal penetration enhancer includes menthol, laurocapram, and D-limonene.
[0011] Furthermore, the transdermal penetration enhancer is composed of menthol, laurocapram and D-limonene in a mass ratio of 12-15:3-5:1-2.
[0012] Furthermore, the transdermal penetration enhancer is composed of menthol, laurocapram, and D-limonene in a mass ratio of 13:4:1.
[0013] This invention employs menthol, laurocapram, and D-limonene in a specific ratio to form a composite transdermal penetration enhancer. Menthol and D-limonene can interfere with the lipid arrangement of the stratum corneum and increase lipid mobility; laurocapram can act on keratin in the stratum corneum, relax intercellular connections, and reduce drug penetration resistance. When the three are combined in a specific ratio, they form a multi-target, multi-layer transdermal penetration enhancement effect, significantly increasing the skin penetration of ingredients such as oleanolic acid, ephedrine, and anemonephrine, thus solving the problems of low transdermal efficiency and insufficient local concentration of traditional extracts.
[0014] Furthermore, the nanoliposome carrier comprises soybean lecithin, cholesterol, and polyethylene glycol.
[0015] Furthermore, the nanoliposome carrier is composed of soybean lecithin, cholesterol, and polyethylene glycol in a mass ratio of 5-9:1-3:0.2-0.6.
[0016] Furthermore, the nanoliposome carrier is composed of soybean lecithin, cholesterol, and polyethylene glycol in a mass ratio of 8:2:0.5.
[0017] Furthermore, the molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol is 400-600.
[0018] The nanoliposome carrier of this invention is composed of soybean lecithin, cholesterol, and polyethylene glycol of a specific molecular weight. Soybean lecithin and cholesterol form a lipid bilayer structure similar to the stratum corneum of the skin, exhibiting high biocompatibility and reducing skin irritation. Extensive inventive experiments have revealed that polyethylene glycol modification not only improves the spatial stability of nanoparticles, preventing drug aggregation, degradation, and oxidation, and significantly enhances the storage stability of extracts in formulations, but also synergizes with soybean lecithin, cholesterol, and a complex transdermal absorption enhancer to further improve the transdermal absorption rate of active ingredients. The nanoliposome carrier of this invention, composed of the above-mentioned components, can simultaneously encapsulate both lipophilic and hydrophilic active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, forming a homogeneous and stable system.
[0019] Furthermore, the natural antibacterial synergist is a combination of two or three of tea tree oil, eugenol, and thymol.
[0020] Furthermore, the natural antibacterial synergist is composed of tea tree oil, eugenol, and thymol in a mass ratio of 3:1:1.
[0021] This invention incorporates two or three of tea tree oil, eugenol, and thymol as natural antibacterial synergists. These components can disrupt bacterial cell membrane integrity and inhibit bacterial respiration and nucleic acid synthesis. When used in combination with antibacterial components of traditional Chinese medicine formulas, they can act on bacteria at multiple targets, significantly enhancing the inhibitory effect against common pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Simultaneously, by disrupting bacterial resistance mechanisms and reducing bacterial biofilm formation, it improves the inhibitory effect against drug-resistant strains such as MRSA and fluconazole-resistant Candida, thus broadening the antibacterial spectrum. This invention maintains formulation stability without the need for chemical preservatives such as sodium benzoate, improving safety in use.
[0022] In this invention, the nanoliposome carrier increases skin retention and penetration; the composite transdermal penetration enhancer improves the stratum corneum barrier, providing a channel for drug penetration; and the traditional Chinese medicine compound and natural antibacterial synergist achieve complementary antibacterial spectrum and synergistic antibacterial intensity. The synergistic effect of these three components ultimately achieves a comprehensive effect of high transdermal permeability, high stability, strong antibacterial activity, high safety, and resistance to drug resistance, effectively solving the technical problems of poor transdermal permeability, instability, and narrow antibacterial spectrum in traditional topical Chinese medicine preparations.
[0023] Furthermore, the cumulative transdermal transdermal dose of ephedrine in the formulation is ≥50 μg / cm² over 24 hours, and the MIC value against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is ≤16 μg / mL.
[0024] Furthermore, the dosage form of the traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation includes lotion, gel, cream or spray.
[0025] This invention also provides a method for preparing the traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation with enhanced transdermal absorption and antibacterial activity, comprising the following steps: S1. Crush Patrinia scabiosifolia, sieve to obtain Patrinia scabiosifolia powder. Add water to the Patrinia scabiosifolia powder, the amount of water being 7-10 times the mass of the Patrinia scabiosifolia powder.

This invention also utilizes a stepwise extraction method—first water decoction followed by ethanol reflux—to obtain Ephedra extract, achieving full retention of both water-soluble and fat-soluble active ingredients. Furthermore, this invention extracts Patrinia scabiosaefolia, Clematis chinensis, and Ephedra separately, then combines the extracts to maximize the retention of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and transdermal penetration-promoting active ingredients in the compound formula, thereby improving its therapeutic effect.
[0030] Furthermore, in step S1, the sieve mesh size is 60-100 mesh.
[0031] Further, the complex enzyme described in step S1 is composed of pectinase and β-glucosidase in a mass ratio of 4-7:1.

[0046] Further, step S4 concentrates the product to a relative density of 1.10 (60°C).
[0047] Furthermore, the solvent in step S5 is anhydrous ethanol.
[0048] Another object of the present invention is to provide the application of the above-mentioned three-herb compound preparation with enhanced transdermal absorption and antibacterial activity in the preparation of medicaments for treating skin itching, eczema, dermatitis or gynecological inflammation.
[0049] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: (1) Significantly enhanced transdermal absorption. This invention significantly improves the transdermal efficiency of active ingredients through the synergistic effect of nanoliposomes and transdermal enhancers. In vitro Franz diffusion cell experiments have verified that this invention significantly increases the cumulative transdermal amount of ephedrine and other components over 24 hours. The transdermal amount of ephedrine over 24 hours reaches 52.7 μg / cm², with a synergistic effect ratio of 2.83. This promotes the rapid penetration of drugs into the deep lesions and solves the problem of low transdermal efficiency of traditional preparations.
[0050] (2) Significantly enhanced antibacterial activity. Through the synergistic effect of traditional Chinese medicine compound and natural antibacterial synergist, the present invention achieves a MIC value of 16 μg / mL against MRSA and a synergistic antibacterial FICI index of 0.375, which significantly broadens the antibacterial spectrum and reduces the MIC value against MRSA and fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans, thus solving the problem of poor efficacy of traditional preparations against drug-resistant strains.

The total number of microorganisms in the formulation is <10 CFU / mL after 6 months at 40℃ / 75%RH, eliminating the need for chemical preservatives and resulting in higher safety.
[0052] (4) Enhanced dosage form adaptability. This invention achieves dosage form diversification. The same core prescription can be flexibly adapted to dosage forms such as lotion, gel, cream, and spray to meet the needs of different lesions and has wider clinical applicability.
[0053] (5) High safety and enhanced clinical efficacy. Animal skin irritation test (rabbit) showed no erythema or edema, and the sensitization rate was 0%. Clinical trials have verified that the clinical efficacy of this product in treating eczema is as high as 97.5%, and it is non-irritating to the skin. Detailed Implementation
