Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the pharmaceutical field, and more particularly to compositions and their use in the preparation of products that prevent eye diseases and slow down vision decline. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread use of electronic products, people are spending more time and energy using their eyes. The high-energy blue light (380-450nm) emitted by electronic screens has become a major factor posing significant harm to the eyes, making it a major killer of vision in teenagers. As people age, especially after 45, the function of RPE cells in the eye declines, reducing the ability to metabolize blue light and increasing the risk of macular degeneration. In individuals with high myopia, the elongated eyeball makes the macula more vulnerable, and the combined mechanical traction from blue light further increases the probability of disease. Fundus diseases will severely impact learning, work, and daily life.
[0003] Currently, the prevention and treatment of this condition both involve supplementing with lutein and zeaxanthin. However, due to the fat-soluble nature of lutein, lutein esters, zeaxanthin, and racemic zeaxanthin, and their instability to acid and light, the absorption and utilization rates of most products are not high. Although some products microencapsulate lutein and lutein esters, their encapsulation rate and stability are not satisfactory.
[0004] Therefore, developing a product with high inclusion rate, stable properties, and high utilization rate is of positive and important significance for the prevention of eye diseases and the slowing down of vision decline. Summary of the Invention

[0054] It is made from at least two of the following raw materials:
[0055] The composition consists of 2-10 parts of lutein ester, 0.1-1 parts of compound vitamins (vitamins A, B1, B2, D, E), 0.01-0.5 parts of zinc-selenium composition, and 5-15 parts of peptide composition.
[0056] In the lutein ester composition, the mass ratio of lutein ester, lutein, zeaxanthin, racemic zeaxanthin, and cyclodextrin is 1.2:0.2:0.2:0.05:4.95, and the mass ratio of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and maltodextrin is 0.002:0.000004:0.03:0.004:0.004:0.459996.

Each component is scientifically formulated and its proportions optimized, resulting in excellent multi-antioxidant, blue light protection, and prevention of macular degeneration effects. Lutein and lutein ester form lutein, playing the primary role, while zeaxanthin and racemic zeaxanthin further enhance its effects in preventing eye diseases and slowing vision decline. Furthermore, the lutein ester composition can be used in combination with zinc-selenium compositions, peptide compositions, and compound vitamins to produce synergistic effects.
[0064] In this invention, the "parts" represent the same quality in the same scenario.
[0065] In some embodiments, the composition is prepared from the following parts by weight of raw materials:
[0066] The composition consists of 2-10 parts of lutein ester, 0.1-1 parts of compound vitamins (vitamins A, B1, B2, D, and E), 0.01-0.5 parts of zinc-selenium composition, and 5-15 parts of peptide composition.
[0067] In some specific embodiments, the composition is prepared from the following parts by weight of raw materials:
[0068] The compound contains 0.5 parts of vitamin compound, 6.6 parts of lutein ester composition, 0.1 parts of zinc selenium composition, and 9 parts of peptide composition. The lutein ester composition is prepared by mass ratio of 1.2 parts lutein ester, 0.2 parts lutein, 0.2 parts zeaxanthin, 0.05 parts racemic zeaxanthin, and 4.95 parts cyclodextrin.
[0069] The lutein ester composition of the present invention is prepared by three methods: dry grinding, wet grinding and solvent extraction. The compositions obtained by the three methods all have good inclusion rates, stable properties and effects in preventing eye diseases and slowing down vision decline.
[0070] The dry grinding method specifically includes: mixing lutein esters, lutein, racemic zeaxanthin, zeaxanthin, and cyclodextrin, and grinding them in a ball mill to obtain an inclusion composition.
[0071] In this method, the cyclodextrin is α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, γ-cyclodextrin, or hydroxyβ-cyclodextrin. This invention uses a 6:4 mixture of α-cyclodextrin and β-cyclodextrin as the inclusion material. Preferably, the method includes: grinding lutein ester, lutein, zeaxanthin, and racemic zeaxanthin in a ball mill at three times their mass as the inclusion material for 2 hours to obtain a lutein ester composition.
[0072] The wet grinding method specifically includes: mixing lutein ester, lutein, racemic zeaxanthin, zeaxanthin and cyclodextrin, wetting with 50%~80% v / v ethanol aqueous solution, grinding in a ball mill to obtain inclusion complex, and drying and pulverizing to obtain lutein ester inclusion complex.
[0073] In this method, lutein ester, lutein, racemic zeaxanthin, zeaxanthin and cyclodextrin are mixed in a ball mill, 1.2 times the amount of 75% v / v ethanol is added, and after grinding for 2 hours, the mixture is dried and pulverized into a 100-mesh fine powder lutein ester complex.
[0074] The solvent method includes: mixing lutein ester, lutein, racemic zeaxanthin, zeaxanthin and cyclodextrin, adding them to alcohol, and then refluxing, freezing, filtering, drying and pulverizing to obtain the lutein ester composition.
[0075] In this method, lutein ester, lutein, racemic zeaxanthin, zeaxanthin and cyclodextrin are mixed and heated under reflux for 2 hours with 3 times the mass of 75% v / v ethanol, then frozen at 0°C for 8 hours and filtered. The filter cake is dried at 60°C, pulverized and passed through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain the lutein ester composition.
[0076] This invention attempts to combine zinc-selenium compositions, lutein ester compositions, compound vitamin and peptide compositions in pairs, or in threes, or in all fours. It has been found that the combined use of each component is more effective than the use of each component alone, and that a significant synergistic effect can be produced under specific ratios.
[0077] For example:
[0078] The present invention has found that the following compositions all have synergistic effects, as detailed below:
[0079] The zinc-selenium combination and the compound vitamins can produce a synergistic effect at a ratio of 0.1:0.5.
[0080] The lutein ester composition and the peptide composition can produce a synergistic effect in a ratio of 6.6:9.
[0081] The lutein ester composition and the zinc selenium composition can produce a synergistic effect at a ratio of 6.6:0.1.
[0082] The zinc-selenium composition and the peptide composition can produce a synergistic effect at a ratio of 0.1:9.
[0083] The lutein ester composition and the compound vitamins can produce a synergistic effect at a ratio of 6.6:0.5.

[0232] Note: In Tables 1-7, ↑ indicates that the level has increased relative to the post-use level, and ↓ indicates that the level has decreased relative to the post-use level.
[0233] The results showed that all groups of test substances had varying degrees of antioxidant capacity. The product group of Example 10 showed the best effect.
[0234] 1.5. Evaluate the interaction effects between the test substances:
[0235] Based on the article "Evaluation of Research Methods for Measuring the Effects of Combined Drug Use" by Guo Jianyou, Huo Hairu, and Jiang Tingliang, which discusses methods for evaluating the effects of combined drug use, including simple algebraic and additive methods and isoline methods, this invention uses simple algebraic and additive methods for evaluation as follows:
[0236] Simple algebraic sum addition method: E A+B =E A +E B ;
[0237] Among them, E A E is the effect produced by drug A when used alone at a certain dosage. B This represents the effect of drug B when used alone at a certain dose. When drugs A and B are used together at their respective individual doses, the combined effect is the algebraic sum of their individual effects. This can be transformed into the formula for determining the combined effect: q = (E... A+B -E A ) / E B But E is required A =E B To avoid E A E B The q-value changes significantly upon interchange. The meaning of the q-value is as follows: q=1 indicates an additive effect, q>1 indicates a synergistic effect, and q<1 indicates an antagonistic effect.
[0238] Table 8
[0239]
[0240] Experimental results show that each component in the composition provided by this invention is indispensable and works together to achieve a good synergistic effect. Furthermore, it has been verified that regardless of the grouping method, the q-value of each group is greater than 1, demonstrating a synergistic effect.
[0241] Verification Example 2
[0242] 2.1 Kunming male rats were used for verification. They were randomly divided into groups of 8 rats each.
[0243] Animal preparation: Kunming male rats were randomly divided into a normal group and a model control group (i.e., experimental group) using a random number table. Except for the normal group, the rats in the other groups were fed a high-fat diet for 6 months, followed by the addition of 0.8% hydroquinone to their drinking water for another 3 months to establish the macular degeneration model. (Ref. "Establishment of a Hydroquinone-Induced Mouse Model of Age-Related Macular Degeneration" Anna, Chen Qiang, Liang Lina, Zhuang Zengyuan.)
[0244] 2.2 Experimental Grouping:
[0245] After successful modeling, the model control group was given lutein ester DHA algal oil powder (batch number 20250122) produced by Bayer Plan (Xiamen) Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., as described in Example 10. One packet of the product was dissolved in 60 mL of warm water, and the product was weighed regularly each day and administered by gavage at a dose of 1 mL / 100 g / d, once daily for 3 months. The normal group and the model group were fed normally.
[0246] 2.3 Experimental results after following the procedures outlined in the literature:
[0247] 2.3.1 General Results: Four experimental animals died: two in the model control group, one in the Example 10 group, and one in the lutein ester DHA algal oil powder group. The rest were normal.
[0248] 2.3.2 Comparison of immunohistochemical results among groups (e.g.) Figure 1 (As shown): Cat B expression: In the model control group, a large number of brown granules were observed throughout the entire retinal layer. In the example group: a moderate amount of brown granules were observed in the inner and middle layers of the retina; the lutein ester DHA algal oil powder group had more brown granules in the inner and middle layers of the retina than the example group; the model control group had a large number of brown granules throughout the entire retinal layer, more than the lutein direct drinking powder group. Among them, the model control group had the most, followed by the lutein direct drinking powder group, and the example group had the fewest.
[0249] Verification Example 3: Human Experiment
[0250] Select patients who meet the clinical diagnostic criteria for myopia, are myopic in both eyes, are willing to accept the treatment plan and be followed up, are 15 years or older and 9 years or older, and exclude patients with pathological myopia with ocular complications; patients with infectious diseases or skin ulcers; patients with serious systemic diseases or other eye diseases; patients with impaired consciousness, cognitive impairment, or mental illness; and patients who are receiving other treatments and have not yet completed their treatment course.
[0251] Judgment criteria: (1) Observe the refractive error of the two groups of myopic patients after treatment. (2) Use the TOPON-KR8900 computer optometry instrument to test the visual acuity of the two groups of myopic patients and observe the changes in visual acuity to determine the efficacy. ① Significant effect criterion: visual acuity improved by more than 2 lines; ② Effective criterion: visual acuity test results showed an increase of 1-2 lines; ③ Ineffective criterion: visual acuity did not change.
[0252] Overall clinical efficacy rate = (45 cases - number of ineffective cases) / 45 cases × 100.00%. Production: Occurrence status.
[0253] Ninety eligible individuals were selected as participants. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group, with 45 participants in each group. Visual acuity was tested in all participants before the experiment.
[0254] The sample from Example 10 in the experimental group was taken once a day, one sachet each time, and vision was tested after 6 months of use.
[0255] The control group took commercially available Bayer Plan (Xiamen) Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Their product, lutein ester DHA algal oil powder (batch number 20250122), contains lutein ester, zeaxanthin, blueberry extract, apple powder, xylitol, citric acid, sodium citrate, and vitamin E. They took one sachet once daily, and their vision was tested after six months of treatment.
[0256] The changes in visual acuity parameters of the participants were statistically analyzed. The results are shown in the table below:
