The persimmon leaf extract has good compliance and safety in the treatment of primary insomnia with low effective dose.

Description

Application of persimmon leaf extract in the preparation of medicines for the treatment of primary insomnia
Technical field
The present invention belongs to the field of medicine and pharmacy, and specifically relates to a new medical use of persimmon leaf extract.
Background Art
Insomnia is one of the manifestations of sleep disorders. It generally refers to the occurrence and/or maintaining of sleep occurs with obstacles, which is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, easy to wake up, early awakening and difficulty in falling asleep again.
According to the course of the disease, modem medicine classifies insomnia into transient insomnia (less than 1 week), acute insomnia (1 week to 1 month) and chronic insomnia (longer than 1 month). According to the cause of disease, it can be classified as primary and secondary insomnia and insomnia: ® primary insomnia: According to the diagnostic criteria of primary insomnia in the American diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-4), primary insomnia refers to difficulty in falling asleep and maintaining sleep, and the onset of illness is at least one month. Sleep disorders cause distress or social or occupational disorders. The dysfunctions caused by paroxysmal diseases, respiratory related sleep disorders, circadian sleep disorders, major depression, generalized anxiety disorder and various physical diseases, alcohol or drugs are excluded.; ©Secondary insomnia: refers to insomnia caused by pain, anxiety or depression. There is also a view to replace secondary insomnia with chronic insomnia.
At present, the treatment of insomnia patients requiring medical treatment is still based on drugs. These drugs mainly include γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) complex agonists, melatonin receptor agonists, antidepressants, non-classic antipsychotics, and antihistamines. However, only a few have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for insomnia indications. Only GABAA complex agonists (5 benzodiazepinesand 4 non-benzodiazepines),
2018101247 28 Aug 2018 ramelteon (melatonin receptor agonist) and low-dose doxepin (antidepressant) are included. GABAA agonists is mainly used in China for treating insomnia.
To treat different types of insomnia, different drugs should be selected. For example, to treat difficulty falling asleep, drugs that induce rapid sleep should be chosen, most of the which are sedative hypnotics of short half-life, such as triazolam, midazolam, oxazepam, zaleplon, eszopiclone, zolpidem and so on. For nocturnal wakeful insomnia, choose hypnotic drugs that can prolong the third and fourth stages of NREM sleep and shorten REM sleep time, such as estazolam, temazepam, nixepam, fluxepam, etc. Early wakening insomnia is usually seen in depressed patients. While treating the primary disease, moderate or long-acting sedative-hypnotics such as diazepam, nitrazepam, clonazepam and so on canbe used. It has been reported that antidepressants like mirtazapine, are effective for patients with light sleep and early wakefulness, but not for people with difficulty falling asleep.
The ideal sedative and hypnotic drugs should be able to induce to sleep quickly and have effect on sleep structure, no residual effects on the next day, do not affect the memory function, no respiratory inhibition and long-term use without dependence or withdrawal symptoms. However, the drugs commonly used in clinical practice to treat sleep difficulty insomnia, such as triazolam, midazolam, oxazepam, zallepron, dextropicolone and zolpidem, have more or less side effects. Among them, triazolam, midazolam, and oxazepam belong to benzodiazepines. Due to their poor selectivity of action target, long-term use may cause drug tolerance, dependence and withdrawal symptoms, they are no longer the first choice for treating insomnia in foreign countries at present, especially for the elderly and patients with respiratory diseases. Therefore, the choice of medication for patients with sleep difficulties is relatively limited.
With the rapid pace of society and intensified competition, the incidence of insomnia has been increasing year by year. According to the data from WHO, nearly 1/4 of people in the world suffer from insomnia, and about 30 to 35 percent of the people in developing countries suffer from insomnia. Insomnia has a great influence on individuals and society, as the yearly increase in the cost and treating expenditure of traffic accidents caused by insomnia showed. It can be seen that insomnia is not only a medical problem, but also a social problem, which has attracted great
2018101247 28 Aug 2018 attention in the world. Therefore, the research and development of new safer and more effective medicine for treating insomnia will be an ongoing research and development hotspot.
The clinical data show that the traditional Chinese medicine for treating insomnia has good effects and less adverse reactions, providing a rich resource for new medicine to treat insomnia.
Persimmon leaf is a fresh or dried leaf of Diospyros kaki Thunb. belongs to Ebenaceae, a Persimmon plant of the family Persimmon. Its application was first reported in the Ming dynasty's ’southern yunnan bencao1. ’Ben Cao Zai Xin‘, which was recorded to ‘cure the cough, spit blood, and quench thirst.’ The persimmon leaf extract recorded in the Chinese pharmacopoeia is mainly used for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, mainly for treating qi stagnation and blood stasis, and can be used for coronary heart disease, cerebral atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The prescription naoxinqing tablet, made from persimmon leaf ethyl acetate extract, has been widely used in clinical applications. The therapeutic effect of naoxinqing tablet in the treatment of type H hypertension in the elderly has been found to improve the symptoms of dizziness, headache and insomnia (Observation on the therapeutic effect of naoxinqing tablet in the treatment of type H hypertension in the elderly [J], zhou jing, etc. New Chinese medicine, 2014,46 (5): 38-39). However, as mentioned above, while treating hypertension, naoxinqing tablet has been observed that the improvement of insomnia symptoms should be secondary insomnia caused by pain, anxiety or depression. This study did not disclose the specific criteria for the assessment of insomnia symptoms, the indicators for the improvement of insomnia or the specific types of insomnia, and lacked guidance for accurate clinical medication.

Conclusions
Each dose of PLA can increase the number of mice that fall asleep with Pentobarbital sodium-induced (subthreshold dose) in dose dependent relationship, the effect of High-Dose PLA was close to the alprazolam.
Each dose of PLA can reduce sleep latency and prolong the sleep duration with Pentobarbital sodium-induced (superthreshold dose) in dose dependent relationship, the sleep latency of High-Dose PLA (40 mg/kg) was shorter than alprazolam, but the sleep time slightly less than
2018101247 28 Aug 2018 alprazolam, the results indicated that PLA can shorten sleep latency and not caused by too long sleep. The effect of inducing sleep is better than alprazolam.
The results indicate that, PLA can be used for treating insomnia which belong to difficulty sleeping type shorten sleep time, but not prolonged sleep duration too much, so as to reduce sequela on and improve the safety of medicine.
The test dose range of PLA was 10 ~40 mg/kg that converted into human clinical dose range was about 1.1 ~ 4.4mg/kg according to body surface area coefficient. When PLA treat coronary heart disease, cerebral arteriosclerosis, it requires 300~600mg/d according to the Chinese pharmacopoeia that converting to the Kg dose is 4.3 ~8.6mg/kg. Obviously, the dose of PLA that treat sleep difficult-insomnia is lower than the dose of treating the coronary heart disease and cerebral arteriosclerosis. As the same specification, the dose of treating sleep difficult-insomnia is significantly less than the current conventional clinical dose, it can greatly improve compliance, safety and reduce the drug tolerance.
In a word, the invention provides a new medical use of PLA for treating primary insomnia, especially sleep difficult-insomnia, and more important, compared with the existing technology, which has been reported for the treatment of coronary heart disease, cerebral atherosclerosis and so on, PLA can shorten the sleep time and improve sleep in low-dose.
