This invention discloses a
traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating vascular
cognitive impairment, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine technology. It includes the following raw materials: stir-fried
Atractylodes macrocephala,
Fritillaria thunbergii,
Ligusticum chuanxiong,
Salvia miltiorrhiza,
Curcuma longa,
Acorus tatarinowii,
Polygala tenuifolia,
Cornus officinalis,
Cistanche deserticola,
Rehmannia glutinosa,
Scrophularia ningpoensis, and
borneol. Preparation method: First, the volatile oil is extracted by
steam distillation and encapsulated with β-
cyclodextrin; then, the lipid-soluble components in
Salvia miltiorrhiza and
Fritillaria thunbergii are extracted with
ethanol; finally, the residue is combined with the remaining medicinal materials and decocted in water for extraction. Through the combination of
Fritillaria thunbergii and
borneol, the dual functions of "clearing
inflammation + opening the blood-brain barrier" are achieved, increasing the brain concentration of lipid-soluble components such as
tanshinone IIA. It significantly improves the learning and memory abilities of rats with vascular
cognitive impairment, with
efficacy superior to the
Western medicine donepezil, and exhibits synergistic effects on multiple targets such as inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasomes and upregulating BDNF. This invention has a simple process, is suitable for industrial production, and has significant clinical application value.
