Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine preparations, specifically relating to a traditional Chinese medicine preparation composition, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children is an inflammation of the lungs caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, and is one of the important types of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children. The main clinical manifestations of the disease are fever and cough. The cough is mostly a severe dry cough, which may turn into a wet cough in the later stages. Some children also have symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Severe cases may develop respiratory distress, hypoxemia, and extrapulmonary complications.
[0003] In terms of treatment, while a certain system of treatment protocols for mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children has been established, it has not yet reached an ideal state. Western medicine treatment focuses on antimicrobial therapy, supplemented by symptomatic support, immune modulation, and management of complications. Macrolide antibiotics (such as azithromycin and clarithromycin) remain the first-line treatment. Mild cases are often treated orally or with short-term intravenous administration. Severe or refractory cases require the combination of glucocorticoids (such as methylprednisolone) to suppress excessive inflammatory responses. When complications such as pleural effusion and plastic bronchitis occur, thoracic drainage and bronchoscopic intervention to remove mucus plugs are also necessary. In recent years, with the increase in macrolide-resistant strains (MRMP), the incidence of refractory MPP (RMPP) and severe MPP (SMPP) has risen, leading to prolonged disease course, increased treatment difficulty, and some children may suffer from sequelae such as obliterative bronchiolitis and bronchiectasis, severely impacting their quality of life. It is evident that the overall treatment has not yet fully achieved the unity of "precision" and "long-term effectiveness" and still needs further optimization.
[0004] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) categorizes childhood mycoplasma pneumoniae infection under the categories of "pneumonia with wheezing and cough" and "wind-heat syndrome." The core pathogenesis is the invasion of external pathogens into the lung's defensive qi, leading to impaired lung function. During the course of the disease, it can evolve into various syndromes such as wind-heat invading the lungs, phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs, and yin deficiency with lung heat. Some children also experience blood stasis and obstruction of the lung collaterals. Phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs syndrome belongs to the acute or severe stage of MPP, often progressing from wind-heat obstructing the lungs syndrome. Its pathogenesis involves phlegm-heat congesting the lungs and stagnation of lung qi. At this stage, the heat pathogens remain, condensing fluids into phlegm, and the phlegm and heat mutually bind, obstructing lung qi, belonging to the category of internal excess heat syndrome.
[0005] The advantages of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating mycoplasma pneumonia (MPP) lie in its multi-target effects. It can directly inhibit mycoplasma, regulate immunity, improve pulmonary microcirculation, and repair respiratory epithelium, with fewer adverse reactions and reduced drug resistance and relapse. Treatment is based on syndrome differentiation and treatment principles, commonly employing methods such as clearing the lungs and resolving phlegm, clearing heat and detoxifying, clearing the lungs and unblocking the meridians, and nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. It is often combined with Western medicine to enhance efficacy, making it superior to Western medicine alone.
[0006] Chinese Patent CN111714597A discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating lobar pneumonia, which is made from the following raw materials in parts by weight: Ephedra 6-12 parts, Bitter Almond 10-15 parts, Gypsum 15-30 parts, Licorice 3-6 parts, Reed Rhizome 10-30 parts, Peach Kernel 10-15 parts, Coix Seed 10-20 parts, Winter Melon Seed 10-15 parts, Prepared Pinellia 6-9 parts, Platycodon 6-12 parts, Trichosanthes Fruit 6-10 parts, Scutellaria 3-6 parts, Fritillaria thunbergii 10-15 parts, and Houttuynia cordata 10-20 parts. This traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating lobar pneumonia provides a better therapeutic effect on acute lobar pneumonia in children, and is lower in cost and has fewer side effects compared to Western medicine treatments.
[0007] Chinese patent CN102743714A discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating pneumonia by invigorating qi and nourishing yin. This composition consists of the following ingredients in parts by weight: 5-7 parts of processed ephedra, 28-32 parts of raw gypsum, 8-10 parts of stir-fried apricot kernel, 8-12 parts of lily bulb, 13-17 parts of ophiopogon japonicus, 13-17 parts of scutellaria baicalensis, 8-12 parts of fritillaria cirrhosa, 30 parts of trichosanthes kirilowii, 13-17 parts of codonopsis pilosula, 13-17 parts of mulberry bark, 13-17 parts of astragalus membranaceus, 13-17 parts of reed rhizome, 13-17 parts of polygonatum odoratum, 13-17 parts of codonopsis pilosula, 13-17 parts of glehnia littoralis, 5-7 parts of artemisia annua, 8-10 parts of bamboo shavings, 4-6 parts of processed pinellia ternata, 8-10 parts of red poria cocos, 8-10 parts of scutellaria baicalensis, 4-6 parts of immature bitter orange peel, 4-6 parts of dried ginger, 4-6 parts of asarum heterotropoides, and 4-6 parts of hawthorn root. This invention has a significant therapeutic effect on pneumonia, with a total effective rate of 98%.
[0008] However, there are currently no reports of traditional Chinese medicine specifically treating phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae, either domestically or internationally. Furthermore, herbs such as ephedra, pinellia, and apricot kernel may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a lung-clearing, phlegm-resolving, fluid-generating, and cough-relieving composition that addresses the pathological characteristics of mycoplasma pneumoniae in children—"deep-seated pathogenic factors, phlegm and blood stasis, and deficiency of both qi and yin"—with minimal gastrointestinal side effects, adhering to the treatment principles of "clearing heat and resolving phlegm, promoting lung function and relieving cough" for the "phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs" syndrome. The preparation method and application of this composition are also needed. Summary of the Invention

[0067] In the first to fourteenth aspects of the present invention, the use of the raw materials is in accordance with the principles of monarch-minister-assistant-guide combination and the treatment principles of diseases.
[0068] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) categorizes childhood mycoplasma pneumoniae infection under the categories of "pneumonia with wheezing and cough" and "wind-heat syndrome," with the core pathogenesis being the invasion of external pathogens into the lung's defensive qi, leading to impaired lung function. Phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs is considered the acute or severe stage of mycoplasma pneumoniae, often progressing from wind-heat obstructing the lungs. The pathogenesis involves phlegm-heat congesting the lungs and stagnation of lung qi. At this stage, the lingering heat pathogens condense into phlegm, and the phlegm and heat combine, obstructing lung qi, thus belonging to the category of internal heat excess syndrome.
[0069] The traditional Chinese medicine composition, extract, preparation, or product described in this invention is designed for the pathological characteristics of mycoplasma pneumoniae in children, namely "deep-seated pathogenic factors, phlegm and blood stasis, and damage to both qi and yin." It is based on the classic formula Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang from Zhang Zhongjing's *Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases*, which is modified by incorporating Xiao Xian Xiong Tang, Qing Qi Hua Tan Wan, and Xie Xin Tang. Following the treatment principle of "clearing heat and eliminating phlegm, opening the lungs and relieving asthma" for "phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs," it particularly emphasizes eliminating pathogenic factors without harming the body's vital energy, and harmonizing cold and heat. The overall formula takes into account clearing heat and eliminating phlegm, moistening dryness and nourishing yin, reflecting the flexibility of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, and has good therapeutic effects.
[0070] In the first to fourteenth aspects of this invention, the traditional Chinese medicine composition, extract, preparation, or product of this invention comprises and / or uses raw materials including ephedra, pinellia, dried ginger, bitter almond, scutellaria, chlorite, gypsum, peach kernel, polygonatum, trichosanthes, glehnia littoralis, and licorice. In this traditional Chinese medicine composition, extract, preparation, or product, ephedra and gypsum are the principal herbs, used in combination to balance cold and warm properties, combining dispersing and clearing effects, aligning with the principle of "clearing heat and transforming qi" in febrile diseases, targeting the main symptoms of fever, cough, and asthma in MPP (metastatic phlegm-phlegm). Trichosanthes, pinellia, peach kernel, and chlorite are the assistant herbs, resolving phlegm, removing blood stasis, clearing heat, and dissipating nodules. Scutellaria, dried ginger, glehnia littoralis, and polygonatum are the adjuvant herbs, using pungent and bitter herbs to open and descend, nourishing yin and protecting the body's vital energy. Fried bitter almond and licorice are the guiding herbs, relieving cough and harmonizing the effects of the other herbs.
[0071] The effects of these Chinese medicinal herbs are as follows: Ephedra: It is pungent, warm, and slightly bitter. It can relieve lung congestion and asthma, and open up the obstruction of lung qi. The "Correct Interpretation of Materia Medica" states that it "specifically relieves lung stagnation and promotes the smooth flow of qi."
[0072] Gypsum: It is pungent, sweet, and extremely cold. It clears and drains excess heat in the lungs and stomach. The "Records of Integrating Chinese and Western Medicine" states that it "cools and disperses, and relieves muscle tension by penetrating the exterior."
[0073] Trichosanthes kirilowii and Pinellia ternata: Trichosanthes kirilowii is sweet and cold, moistens the lungs, resolves phlegm and relieves chest congestion; Pinellia ternata is pungent and warm, dries dampness, relieves nausea and resolves phlegm. The combination of the two resolves phlegm and disperses nodules, targeting the syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs.
[0074] Peach kernel: It promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, moistens the intestines and relieves constipation. According to the "Medicinal Properties of Chinese Medicine", it "disperses stagnant qi in the blood and breaks up blood stasis and heat accumulation", and improves the exudation and microcirculation disorders of MPP lung inflammation.
[0075] Qingmengshi: Salty, neutral, and heavy, it helps to expel phlegm and lower qi. The Compendium of Materia Medica states that it "treats phlegm and saliva accumulation, cough, asthma, and shortness of breath," and assists Trichosanthes kirilowii and Pinellia ternata in clearing away phlegm and turbidity.
[0076] Scutellaria baicalensis and dried ginger: Scutellaria baicalensis is bitter and cold, clearing heat, while dried ginger is pungent and warm, protecting the stomach. Following the "pungent opening and bitter descending" method of Banxia Xiexin Decoction, it harmonizes the Qi of the lungs and stomach, preventing gypsum and Scutellaria baicalensis from being too cold and damaging the middle Jiao.
[0077] North American ginseng and Solomon's seal: sweet and cool, they moisten the lungs, replenish qi and nourish yin. Based on the approach of the "Wenbing Tiaobian" (Treatise on Warm Diseases) and the "Shashen Maidong Decoction", it is used to treat symptoms of heat evil damaging body fluids and chronic cough depleting qi.
[0078] Bitter almonds: bitterness lowers lung qi, moistens the intestines and promotes bowel movement. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" states that it "lowers qi and resolves phlegm, moistens dryness and promotes bowel movement," assisting ephedra in its function of dispersing and descending qi.
[0079] Licorice: It is sweet and mild, harmonizing the cold and hot properties of various herbs, and can also stop coughing and resolve phlegm.
[0080] For the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine, the ephedra, pinellia, dried ginger, bitter almond, scutellaria, chlorite, gypsum, peach kernel, polygonatum, trichosanthes, glehnia littoralis, and licorice mentioned in this invention meet the quality requirements of the current 2025 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

[0141] 3. Test Procedure 3.1 Test Methods Seventy-two male SD rats were acclimatized for 7 days and then randomly divided into four groups using a random number table: a blank control group, a model control group, a positive control group, a low-concentration traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group, a medium-concentration TCM group, a high-concentration TCM group, a prescription-splitting group, a combination group, and a control group, with eight rats in each group. The rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of chloral hydrate. Except for the blank control group, all other groups received 10... 6 100 μL of CCU / mL Mycoplasma pneumoniae strain was administered intranasally for 4 consecutive days. The control group received an equal volume of physiological saline intranasally. The rats' mental state, food and water intake, and body weight were closely monitored. Successful modeling was confirmed by clinical symptoms (weight loss, rapid breathing). Oral administration of the experimental drug was initiated on day 8 post-modeling, administered once daily at the prepared dosage for 2 weeks.
[0142] 3.2 Observation of rat weight gain and general condition From the start of drug administration, daily changes in body weight were recorded, and the general condition and behavioral characteristics of the rats were observed and recorded.
[0143] The general condition of rats was scored and statistically analyzed according to the scoring criteria in Table 3 below.
[0144] Table 3. Rats' General Condition Scoring Criteria
[0145] 3.3 Serum inflammatory factor detection After the last administration, rats in each group were fasted but allowed free access to water for 12 hours. Rats were then anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate, and blood was collected from the abdominal aorta. The blood was allowed to stand for 1 hour, then centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 15 minutes at 4°C. Serum was collected and used for ELISA to detect inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-10.
[0146] 3.4 Mycoplasma load detection After the last administration, rats in each group were fasted but allowed free access to water for 12 hours. They were then anesthetized and sacrificed. Lung tissue was collected, and the M. pneumoniae DNA load in the lung tissue was detected by qPCR.
[0147] 3.5 Lung tissue pathological examination Lung tissue fixed in formalin was removed, embedded, cut into uniform sections of 3 µm thickness, dewaxed to water, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and turbinates (TUNEL), dehydrated, mounted, and observed under a microscope for pathological and apoptotic observation.
[0148] 3.6 Detection of Oxidative Stress Indicators After the last administration, rats in each group were fasted for 12 hours but allowed free access to water. They were then anesthetized and sacrificed, and lung tissue was collected to detect the levels of biochemical indicators SOD and MDA.
[0149] 3.7 Statistical Analysis All data were statistically analyzed using GraphPad Prism (10.1.2) software, and the results are presented in the form of... Mean ± s. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the differences between groups. P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 were considered statistically significant.
[0150] 4. Test Results 4.1 Effects on rat body weight and general condition Weight information: Rat body weight during administration Figure 1 As shown, there was no significant difference in weight gain among the groups, indicating that the administration of the heat-clearing, phlegm-resolving, lung-ventilating, and cough-relieving formula of this invention has no significant effect on the weight of rats.
[0151] General condition: The model group rats exhibited reduced food and water intake; dull and disheveled fur; reduced stool output; and significant sneezing. The rats' condition was scored according to Table 3, and the general condition of each group is summarized in Table 4. After 14 days of drug treatment, food and water intake fully recovered, fur regained its smoothness and shine, and sneezing symptoms resolved. The combined treatment group showed the fastest recovery, with all rats scoring 0 on day 11. The positive control group followed, with all rats scoring 0 on day 12. The medium- and high-concentration traditional Chinese medicine groups also showed a significantly better recovery trend than the control group.

[0153] 4.2 Impact on inflammation and etiology like Figure 2 Pathological examination of lung tissue and HE staining results showed that, compared with the control group, the model control group exhibited alveolar epithelial hyperplasia, alveolar septal thickening, alveolar atrophy, and inflammatory cell infiltration. The Qingre Ditan Xuanfei Zhike formula alleviated pathological symptoms in a dose-dependent manner. The formula-individualized group showed slight therapeutic effect, while the positive control group and the medium-to-high concentration group showed significant therapeutic effects. Among all treatment groups, the high-concentration traditional Chinese medicine group and the combined treatment group showed better alveolar recovery than other groups.
[0154] To investigate the therapeutic effect of the heat-clearing, phlegm-resolving, lung-ventilating, and cough-relieving composition on mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, the viral load of mycoplasma pneumoniae was detected by qPCR, as shown above. Figure 3 The results showed that the positive control group significantly reduced mycoplasma load in rat lung tissue after treatment. The dosage-related reduction of mycoplasma load in each group of the heat-clearing, phlegm-resolving, lung-ventilating, and cough-relieving composition was observed, with the medium and high concentrations of traditional Chinese medicine significantly reducing mycoplasma load in rat lung tissue. No significant reduction in mycoplasma levels was observed in the individual formula groups. The combined treatment group showed the lowest mycoplasma load and the best therapeutic effect after administration. The experimental results indicated that omitting North American ginseng in the individual formula groups significantly reduced the mycoplasma treatment effect compared to the group without omitting it; no significant reduction in mycoplasma levels was observed at 7.39 g crude drug / kg / d, while the heat-clearing, phlegm-resolving, lung-ventilating, and cough-relieving composition of this invention showed a significant effect at 8.37 g crude drug / kg / d.
[0155] The essence of mycoplasma pneumonia is not only the damage directly caused by the pathogen, but more importantly, the "immune inflammatory storm" triggered by the body's immune system response. Therefore, detection was performed on the main inflammatory factors. Figure 4 In the study, regarding pro-inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β, the levels of inflammatory factors were significantly increased in the model control group compared to the blank control group, while they were significantly reduced in the positive control group after treatment. Among the various treatment groups using the heat-clearing, phlegm-resolving, lung-ventilating, and cough-relieving combination, the medium- and high-concentration traditional Chinese medicine groups significantly reduced the levels of inflammatory factors. The combined treatment group significantly reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory factors in serum, showing the best therapeutic effect among all treatment groups. Regarding the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10, the level was significantly lower in the model control group compared to the blank control group, but it significantly rebounded after treatment in all treatment groups. The medium-concentration traditional Chinese medicine group, high-concentration traditional Chinese medicine group, and positive control group showed significant efficacy, and the combined treatment group still exhibited the best therapeutic effect among all groups.
[0156] 4.3 Effects on lung function and injury indicators Mycoplasma pneumoniae-induced damage involves two key stages: oxidative stress imbalance and apoptosis. Activated immune cells (such as macrophages and neutrophils) produce large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the phagocytosis and clearance of pathogens, leading to oxidative stress. This can cause severe damage to lung tissue cells. SOD (superoxide dismutase) and MDA (malondialdehyde) are important indicators for detecting the degree of oxidative stress in the body, and the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, compared with the blank control group, the SOD value in the model control group decreased, indicating an aggravated oxidative stress state and increased susceptibility of lung tissue to oxidative damage. The SOD values of the positive control group, high-concentration traditional Chinese medicine group, combined treatment group, and medium-concentration traditional Chinese medicine group significantly rebounded after treatment, with the combined treatment group showing the best effect. For MDA, the induction of mycoplasma pneumonia significantly increased the level of MDA in lung tissue. Treatment of the positive control group, high-concentration traditional Chinese medicine group, combined treatment group, and medium-concentration treatment group significantly reduced this trend, with the combined treatment group showing the most significant therapeutic effect.
[0157] Next, the TUNEL assay was used to investigate the effects of different drug treatments on apoptosis in lung tissue of mycoplasma pneumoniae. Figure 6 As can be seen, the number of apoptotic cells in the model group increased significantly. The positive control group, the high-concentration traditional Chinese medicine group, the combined treatment group, and the medium-concentration treatment group all had a significant effect on reducing lung tissue cell apoptosis. Among them, the effect of the high-concentration traditional Chinese medicine group was basically the same as that of the combined treatment group. Figure 6 B is a statistical graph showing the number of apoptotic cells, which expresses similar results.
[0158] 5. Conclusion The heat-clearing, phlegm-resolving, lung-ventilating, and cough-relieving composition of this invention effectively alleviates histopathological damage and inflammatory infiltration caused by mycoplasma pneumonia, reduces the mycoplasma load in lung tissue, and improves lung function and oxidative damage. It exhibits significant therapeutic effects, particularly in regulating inflammatory factors, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. In restoring the pathological state of lung tissue and reducing lung cell apoptosis, the therapeutic effect of the herbal group of this invention is superior to the split-formula group and the control group. Among the various herbal groups, the combination of the heat-clearing, phlegm-resolving, lung-ventilating, and cough-relieving composition and azithromycin showed outstanding therapeutic effects, exhibiting optimal therapeutic efficacy in terms of pathological damage and various indicator detection. The low-concentration herbal group also had a certain therapeutic effect, alleviating symptoms to some extent.
[0159] To further screen and optimize the formulation, the extracts prepared in Examples 3-6 and Comparative Example 4 were tested for efficacy at a dose of 8.37 g crude drug / kg / d using the same experimental method. The results showed that the extracts prepared in Examples 3-6 had similar efficacy to the extracts prepared in Example 2 and could effectively inhibit mycoplasma pneumoniae-related pneumonia. The extracts prepared in Comparative Example 4 had similar efficacy to the extracts in the disassembled formulation group, but the effect was not obvious at this dose.
[0160] II. Gastrointestinal adverse reaction experiment in rats 1. Laboratory animals Twenty-seven male SPF-grade SD rats, weighing 200-220g, were kept at room temperature of 20±2℃ with alternating light and dark lighting for 12 hours, and were provided with regular feed and their own drinking water.
[0161] 2. Test substance and grouping In this experiment, 27 SPF-grade female SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, with 9 rats in each group.
[0162] Group 1 of traditional Chinese medicine: dry extract prepared using the method in Example 5, 100g crude drug / kg / d.
[0163] Comparative Example 2: Dry extracts of the herbal formula obtained using the method of Comparative Example 3, 100g crude drug / kg / d Blank group: Normal drinking water.
[0164] For the preparation of experimental drugs, a suspension was made using drinking water, and 2 ml was administered each time.
[0165] 3. Test methods Male SD rats were acclimatized for 7 days and then randomly divided into a blank control group, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group 1, and a control group (TCM) group 2) using a random number table. The experimental TCM drugs were administered once daily for 14 consecutive days at the prepared dosage. The rats' mental state, food and water intake, stool characteristics, and body weight were closely monitored.
[0166] 4. Test Results 4.1 Diarrhea in rats In the control group, there were no significant changes in food and water intake, no diarrhea, and normal feces. In the herbal medicine group 1, there were no significant changes in food and water intake, and no obvious diarrhea. In the control group (herbal medicine group 2), there was a decrease in food and water intake, with some rats experiencing diarrhea, loose yellow feces, and reduced activity.
[0167] 4.2 Changes in rat body weight like Figure 7 As shown, after 14 days of administration, the body weight of the blank group increased significantly, there was no significant difference between the Chinese medicine group 1 and the blank group, and the body weight of rats in the comparative Chinese medicine group 2 decreased significantly, which may be related to the decrease in food intake caused by gastrointestinal reactions.
[0168] Verification Experiment: The gastrointestinal adverse reaction experiment in rats was repeatedly verified using the dry extract prepared by the method of Example 5, the dry extract prepared by the method of Example 2, and the glycoside extract prepared by the method of Comparative Example 2. The dosage was 100g crude drug / kg / d. The results showed that the food intake and water intake of the dry extract prepared by the method of Example 5 and the dry extract prepared by the method of Example 2 did not change significantly, and no diarrhea was observed. However, the rats using the glycoside extract prepared by the method of Comparative Example 2 showed a significant decrease in body weight, and some rats experienced diarrhea, which may be related to the decrease in food intake caused by gastrointestinal reactions.
