This invention relates to a compound gel for treating joint
inflammation based on a modified ancient Chinese
medicine formula, belonging to the fields of pharmaceutical preparations and
traditional Chinese medicine. The compound gel consists of
active ingredient extracts, a
poloxamer thermosensitive
gel matrix, a
penetration enhancer, a
humectant, and deionized water. The
active ingredient extracts are obtained from *
Terminalia chebula*, *Amla emblica*,
lavender, wild watermelon, *
Artemisia annua*, and chamomile through ultrasonic-
microwave coupling extraction. Using ultrasonic-
microwave coupling extraction combined with a low-temperature
drying process, small-molecule active ingredients are obtained. A body temperature-responsive gel is constructed based on
poloxamer 407 / 188, achieving in-situ
phase transition on the
skin surface and stable sustained release over 6-8 hours, significantly improving
transdermal absorption. The gel is combined with an integrated medication container and biomimetic
protective gear to form a synergistic
drug delivery system, achieving closed-loop
controlled release, leak-proof design, and motion
adaptation. This gel is non-irritating and non-allergenic, suitable for
topical treatment of
osteoarthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis, and
soft tissue injuries caused by cold and dampness in high-altitude regions.
