A kind of bitterness masking agent of herb mixture
Technical field
the present invention relates to field of traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, be specifically related to a kind of bitterness masking agent of herb mixture, and a kind of herb mixture of good mouthfeel.
Background technology
described herb mixture is by 180 parts of Chinese crude drugs, 160 parts of Radix Ophiopogonis, and 260 parts of Radix Scrophulariaes, 315 parts of 315 parts of Fructus Forsythiaes and Radix Scutellariaes are made.Having the effects such as yin nourishing, moistening and cleaning throat, removing toxic substances, is treatment limitation pharyngeal diphtheria, calomel poisoning type diphtheria, acute tonsillitis, anginal common medicine.The main effective ingredient of this mixture comprises baicalin and phillyrin etc., taste is extremely bitter, easily cause nausea and vomiting when patient takes medicine, cause patient to be difficult to accept, carrying out smoothly of impact treatment, thereby the drug compliance that has limited to a certain extent the extensive use of this mixture, particularly child and old man is poorer.Therefore, we think that the bitterness masking agent mating with it for this mixture development is very important.
Think that at present the taste masking mechanism of Chinese medicine mainly comprises following several: 1. add correctives to make taste bud produce illusion; 2. avoid bitter drug to contact with the direct of taste bud; 3. reversible and temporarily benumb taste bud; 4. by competing bitterness receptors or block it with medicine, to brain, send bitterness signal.Conventional concealing method has: 1, add sweeting agent, aromatic is covered bitter taste of drug; 2, with mucilage, cover bitter taste of drug; 3, add ion exchange resin and cover bitter taste of drug ion; When 4, the screening agent such as tannic acid, glycerol, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid makes medicine dissolution, form with it difficulty soluble salt, and packaging medicine granule stops it in oral cavity, to dissolve rapidly.5, prepare microcapsule or microsphere or use coating, clathrate technology to cover bitterness; 6, with Mentholum or Herba Menthae wet goods paralysis gustatory cell, cover bitterness.In said method, method 1 is that cost is minimum, the bitterness method of covering of applicable mixture.Affect the factor more complicated of bitterness masking agent effect.On the one hand, cover the chemical composition of effect and preparation, pH value, temperature, dosage forms etc. are closely related; On the other hand, the consumption of masking agent must require to adapt with the quality of the pharmaceutical preparations, and for example masking agent is to curative effect of medication, the impact of preparation relative density, stability; In addition the threshold of perception current of bitterness is very little, and the persistent period is longer, is not easy to eliminate; Therefore develop a kind of highly with preparation matching degree, and the bitterness masking agent of good mouthfeel, is the work that challenge is higher to pharmacy work person.
