The application discloses application of a
medicine composition in preparation of a
medicine for treating
rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and belongs to the field of RA treating medicines. The
medicine composition is composed of swertiamarin (SW) and
neochlorogenic acid (NCA) and is screened from two active ingredients in Danteng Yimu Decoction. With the help of
animal model and
cell model experiments, the action mechanism of the medicine composition in treating RA is explored, the related symptoms and indexes of collagen-induced
arthritis (CIA) rats can be effectively improved,
joint swelling can be relieved,
arthritis inflammation index can be reduced, inflammatory factor release can be inhibited,
joint bone quality can be protected,
arthritis inflammation infiltration and
cartilage destruction can be reduced, and the medicine safety is good. The composition can effectively inhibit the inflammatory factor release and migration ability of
rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS). Animal experiments and
cell experiments prove that the combination of
neochlorogenic acid and swertiamarin (SW+NCA) can be effectively applied to
clinical treatment of RA and has a wide application prospect.
