According to another aspect of the invention, there is also provided a heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory preparation comprising the pharmaceutical composition containing sarcandra glabra and other pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary materials.
Further, the acceptable auxiliary materials comprise 4-50 parts of filler.
Further, the filler includes maltodextrin, starch or lactose.
According to still another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a method for preparing a granule for clearing heat and diminishing inflammation, comprising the steps of:

uniformly mixing the dry sarcandra glabra extract powder with other raw materials according to the weight parts of the raw material components to obtain mixed powder;
the mixed powder is prepared into the heat-clearing anti-inflammatory granule by dry granulation.
Further, the extraction includes heat reflux extraction, or decoction and filtration extraction.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
The medicinal composition and the heat-clearing anti-inflammatory preparation containing the glabrous sarcandra herb provided by the invention utilize the sucralose, the stevioside and the citric acid as the compound flavoring agents, and the three are mutually matched in a synergistic way, so that the oral compliance of the preparation is successfully improved.
The invention is based on the fact that the human body has five basic tastes, sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami, which all rely on the interaction of molecules in the food with specific taste receptor proteins on the taste buds of the tongue, and the taste receptors recognize the corresponding food molecules, trigger cascade signals, lead to release of chemicals (neurotransmitters), activate specific areas of the brain where the taste is perceived and processed. It has been found that type II taste cells contain receptors that distinguish sweet and bitter substances, namely T1R2, T1R3 and T2R, all belonging to the G protein-coupled receptor family. Sweet and bitter use similar signaling pathways in cells. Therefore, when the sweetener is added, the competition of the sweet taste to the specific protein can be increased, so that the perception of the bitter taste of a human body is weakened, and the stevioside and the sucralose in the formula compete for the perception of the bitter taste through the mechanism, so that the effect of weakening the bitter taste is achieved.
The applicant finds that the situation of poor bitter suppressing effect or excessive sweetness is easy to occur when too little or too much sweetener is added in the research process, and in addition, when only the sweetener is used, the bitter taste and the sweetness can be perceived simultaneously in the perception process, so that the bitter taste of the product cannot be completely eliminated, and the unnatural taste exists. In this regard, the applicant has continued to add the acidulant, citric acid, which counteracts part of the sweet and bitter taste, and at the same time imparts a suitable amount of acidulant to improve its flavour and improve its mouthfeel on the mouth.
However, for the pharmaceutical composition containing herba Pileae Scriptae and the preparation of QINGRE XIAO YAN NING, such as QING XIAO YAN NING KE LI ZHI JI (granule preparation for clearing heat and relieving inflammation) has great challenges to achieving generally acceptable taste or neutral taste, during the research, the applicant found that when using single flavoring agent, the sour agent and low-sweetness sweetener except high-sweetness flavoring agent are used alone, the taste problem of the product is hardly improved, which means that if the aim of masking the bitter taste of the preparation by flavoring means is achieved, high-sweetness sweetener or a great amount of other flavoring agents need to be added. Based on formulation dosage considerations, applicant prefers to use the sweetener of greater sweetness-sucralose, and tests conducted within its applicable range have found that the single use still fails to achieve the desired goal, and therefore continues to introduce the second high-sweetness sweetener, steviol glycoside. The combination of the two has obvious effect of weakening the bitter taste of the product, but has partial bitter aftertaste, and the bitter taste and the sweet taste exist simultaneously, so that the peculiar smell of the product is obvious. In order to further improve the taste and flavor of the sweet taste, experiments are carried out by adding auxiliary materials such as sour agent, essence and salty agent, and a large number of experiments show that the sour agent, the essence and the salty agent have great influence on the improvement effect of the sweet taste on the sweet taste, and the uncontrollability of the taste correction effect is enhanced along with the increase of the types of the auxiliary materials; in the second case, after the essence is independently introduced on the basis of the double-sweetener, the smell is optimized, but the taste is poor, in the third case, after the citric acid is independently introduced on the basis of the double-sweetener, the taste and the bitter taste at the inlet are improved to a certain extent, but the use amount of the citric acid has a great influence on the improvement effect, and the influence shows irregular change, when the use amount of the citric acid is smaller or larger than the most preferable use amount of the prescription, the bitter taste and the bitter taste are stronger, and in the fourth case, after two or more of the sour agent, the salty agent and the essence are simultaneously introduced on the basis of the double-sweetener, the taste is strange, and the regularity is not regulated.
Finally, the applicant surprisingly found that when the three components of sucralose, stevioside and citric acid with specific contents are selected, the three components have synergistic effects, a proper amount of citric acid is introduced while two high-sweetness sweeteners are reserved in the scheme, the bitter taste of the preparation is weakened by the high-sweetness sweeteners, the existing problems of bitter taste and simultaneous existence of the same sweetness are treated by the citric acid, other uncomfortable tastes are not brought, and compared with the effects of the introduction of other types of flavoring agents and the other dosage of citric acid, the proportion formula has more improved advantages, the introduction of the peculiar smell taste is less while the bitter taste is obviously weakened, and the palatability is greatly enhanced. Especially, when the materials are mixed according to the proportion of 100 parts of the dry sarcandra glabra extract powder, 0.36 part of sucralose, 1.00-1.20 parts of stevioside and 0.10 part of citric acid, the comprehensive score can be up to 9 minutes, the bitter taste and the astringent taste of the sarcandra glabra medicinal composition and the heat anti-inflammatory preparation thereof are greatly improved, no bad smell exists, the whole taste is good, and the medicine taking compliance of patients (especially children patients) can be effectively improved.

The problems of taste correction and taste masking of traditional Chinese medicines and preparations are always a difficult problem faced by the pharmaceutics, and students at home and abroad have conducted more researches on the problem of taste of medicines. The taste correction and masking mechanism of the existing medicine mainly comprises the following aspects that ① is added with a taste correction agent to change the sensitivity degree of taste buds to bad taste, ② is used for directly isolating the direct contact of the medicine and the taste buds through means of coating, adsorption inclusion and the like, and ③ is used for modifying the molecular structure of the medicine.
Taking the flavoring agent as an example, the flavoring agent is classified into various types including high-sweetness flavoring agent, bitter retarding agent, essence, sour agent and the like, and the types of different flavoring agents, the number of the flavoring agents and the dosage of a certain flavoring agent can bring great change to sensory results. In addition, the active ingredients of different traditional Chinese medicines and preparations are different, when the taste correction or taste masking research is carried out on the different traditional Chinese medicines and preparations, the traditional Chinese medicines and preparations have larger difference, have no fundamental commonality and are more irregularly circulated, so that the problems of the taste correction and the taste masking of certain traditional Chinese medicines and preparations always plagues researchers in the field of the pharmacy. For example, the inclusion technology is limited by the selectivity of cyclodextrin to the inclusion compound, and the application of the inclusion technology in the compound taste masking of traditional Chinese medicines is limited, and some methods which are commonly used in the fields of foods and chemicals, such as adding a bitter taste eliminator or using a macroporous ion exchange resin method, are the technology for relatively shaping the taste masking aspect of the oral liquid preparation at home and abroad at present, but the methods mainly aim at chemical medicines with very definite components, and the preparation of the prodrug is also an effective taste masking technology in the chemical medicine field, but the novel technology is difficult to apply in the traditional Chinese medicine field due to the complexity of the components. In addition, because the use of the corrective and the masking auxiliary materials is not standardized, some medicinal auxiliary materials are already approved by a pharmacy management department and are used in a laboratory, the obtained relevant corrective and masking technologies are limited in experimental research and are difficult to be applied to actual industrialized production. The embodiment of the first aspect of the application provides a pharmaceutical composition containing herba sarcandrae, which comprises the following raw materials, by weight, 100 parts of herba sarcandrae dry extract powder, 0.30-0.40 part of sucralose, 1.00-1.20 parts of stevioside and 0.05-0.15 part of citric acid.
The medicinal composition containing the herba sarcandrae provided by the embodiment of the application uses the sucralose, the stevioside and the citric acid as the compound flavoring agents, the sucralose, the stevioside and the citric acid are mutually matched, so that the oral compliance of the preparation is successfully improved, the bitter taste and the astringent taste of the herba sarcandrae preparation heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory agent obtained after the compound flavoring agents are added according to the dosage are well improved, no bad smell is generated, and the whole taste is good.
In the embodiment, the weight part of the sucralose is 0.30-0.40 part, for example, 0.3 part, 0.35 part, 0.36 part or 0.4 part, and the like, and can be any combination range of the above weight parts, the weight part of the steviol glycoside is 1.00-1.20 part, for example, 1.00 part, 1.05 part, 1.10 part, 1.15 part or 1.20 part, and the like, and can be any combination range of the above weight parts, and the weight part of the citric acid is 0.05-0.15 part, for example, 0.05 part, 0.08 part, 0.10 part, 0.12 part or 0.15 part, and can be any combination range of the above weight parts.
In the embodiment, the dosage form of the pharmaceutical composition containing the herba sarcandrae is granule, liquid or tablet, wherein the granule and the liquid can be used as the dosage form for children with the age of 2-13 years.
In the examples of the present application, steviol glycoside alone did not improve bitterness, but sucralose alone improved bitterness to some extent, but both bitterness and sweetness were present, and citric acid alone improved astringency significantly, but did not improve bitterness significantly. The application uses the sucralose, the stevioside and the stevioside simultaneously, which not only can well improve the bitter taste, but also can obviously improve the astringent taste. However, if the amount of sucralose or stevioside is less than the minimum value, respectively, the effect of reducing the bitter taste is significantly affected, if the amount of stevioside is greater than the maximum value, the overall effect of the sweetener (sucralose and stevioside) on improving the bitter taste is weakened, and the taste is peracid, and if the amount of citric acid is greater than the maximum value, the effect of meta-acid occurs while improving the taste, and the effect of the sweetener on improving the bitter taste is weakened.
The medicinal composition containing the herba sarcandrae provided by the embodiment of the application has obviously reduced bitter and astringent taste, and has acceptable mouthfeel (can be accepted as having bitter taste/peculiar smell mouthfeel, is easier to accept as slightly bitter taste/peculiar smell mouthfeel, and is easy to accept as having no bitter taste/peculiar smell mouthfeel).

Examples
The present disclosure is more particularly described in the following examples that are intended as illustrations only, since various modifications and changes within the scope of the present disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Unless otherwise indicated, all parts, percentages, and ratios reported in the examples below are by weight, and all reagents used in the examples are commercially available or were obtained synthetically according to conventional methods and can be used directly without further treatment, as well as the instruments used in the examples.
The heat-clearing anti-inflammation granule of the example and the comparative example is prepared by respectively adding the flavoring agents into 2.9g of herba Pileae Scriptae dry extract powder based on the principle that the maximum addition amount of single flavoring agent and the addition amount of auxiliary materials are relatively small.
The preparation method of the herba Pileae Scriptae dry extract powder comprises the steps of taking herba Pileae Scriptae, decocting in water twice for 1.5 hours for the first time and 1 hour for the second time, filtering decoction, mixing filtrates, concentrating under reduced pressure to obtain soft extract with relative density of 1.25-1.30 (60-70 ℃), drying, and pulverizing to obtain herba Pileae Scriptae dry extract powder.
Mixing and flavoring, namely mixing and flavoring 2.9g of herba Pileae Scriptae dry extract powder with a flavoring agent, adding maltodextrin to complement 3g, and dry granulating the mixed powder to obtain granule. The specific amounts of flavoring agents are shown in Table 2. The addition amount of each raw material in mg in Table 2 is obtained by the mass of each raw material/the mass of the dry extract powder of herba Pileae Scriptae (2.9 g).
The establishment of scoring system (refer to technical guidelines for design and evaluation of taste of children's medicines) is to dissolve the heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory granule obtained in each example or comparative example in 50ml hot water (observe solubility) to obtain liquid medicine, and keep the temperature in a constant-temperature water bath kettle at 35+/-5 ℃.
Tasters (no smoking and drinking in two days and no eating in 2 hours before tasting) were selected to taste, and mouth was rinsed with warm water before tasting, and each group of solutions was spitted out after being contained in the mouth for 10 seconds, and the taste suitability degree (the main peculiar smell taste of the product is bitter, and finally the taste was judged according to the bitter degree and the comprehensive taste) was used as an assessment index, and the overall sensory evaluation was used for scoring. The taste sensory evaluation ratings are shown in table 1, wherein a rating of 5 or more indicates successful flavoring without affecting patient compliance, and a rating of 7 or more meets the child medication criteria.
Table 1 taste sensory evaluation rating table
Each set of experiments according to the present application selected 10 tasters for scoring, taking the average after removing one of the highest score and one of the lowest score, and taking the integer after rounding off, as shown in table 2.
1. Comparison of three flavors (examples 1-6) with two flavors (comparative examples 1-9).
Table 2 examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 9
Note that the values in brackets of a certain component in the table are the mass percent of the component in the heat-clearing anti-inflammatory granule.
From the above results, it is clear that examples 1 to 6 at least achieve the standard that the bitter taste and the off-flavor are remarkably reduced and the taste is acceptable, that is, the overall score is 5 minutes or more. Wherein, the whole taste in the example 2 is optimal, the bitter taste is obviously reduced, the taste is smoother, and the standard of children medication is met (the children medication standard can be considered to be met after the comprehensive score is more than 7 minutes). Meanwhile, the results show that when the usage amount of the sucralose or the usage amount of the stevioside is reduced, the bitter taste reducing effect is reduced, when the usage amount of the stevioside exceeds a certain limit, the bitter taste reducing effect and the overall taste are also reduced, and when the usage amount of the citric acid is excessive, the situation of meta-acid can occur while the taste is improved, and the bitter taste reducing effect of the sweetener is reduced.
2. Comparison of four flavors
In the experiment, 2.9g of intermediate dry paste powder is taken, four kinds of corrigents are added, maltodextrin is taken as maltodextrin to supplement 3.0g, the preparation method is the same, and the results are shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3 comparative examples 10-15
Note that the values in brackets of a certain component in the table are the mass percent of the component in the heat-clearing anti-inflammatory granule.
The solubility of the comparative examples is qualified, and the results show that when the compound flavoring agent is stevioside, sucralose, citric acid and sodium chloride, partial salty taste is introduced, the sensory is poor, and particularly, the sensory is obviously reduced after different amounts of sodium chloride are introduced on the basis of the embodiment 2. When the compound flavoring agent is stevioside, sucralose, citric acid and lemon powder essence, the effect of improving the bitter taste is poor, and particularly, the sensory degradation is obvious after a certain amount of lemon powder essence is introduced on the basis of the embodiment 2.
3. Comparison of Single flavoring Agents
In the experiment, 2.9g of intermediate dry paste powder is taken, a single type of flavoring agent is added, maltodextrin is taken as maltodextrin to supplement 3.0g, and the preparation method is the same.
Wherein mannitol, stevioside or sucralose is respectively taken as a sweetener (dosage of 10.5 mg), or L-malic acid or citric acid is respectively taken as an acidulant (dosage of 2.9 mg), and the taste improvement evaluation is carried out according to the evaluation method of an evaluation system, and the mixed powder without adding the flavoring agent is taken as a control, and the result is shown in Table 4:
TABLE 4 comparative examples 16-21
Note that the values in brackets of a certain component in the table are the mass percent of the component in the heat-clearing anti-inflammatory granule.
The above comparative examples were all satisfactory in solubility, and as a result, it was found that the effect of improving bitterness and taste was remarkable when sucralose was added, but the effect of improving the taste could not be expected when the sweetener was used alone, in combination with the maximum daily dose (WHO prescribes daily intake of 13 mg/kg). The bitter taste of mannitol is difficult to tolerate when the mannitol is added alone, the comprehensive taste is not improved, the comprehensive taste of stevioside is improved but the bitter taste is obvious when the stevioside is added alone, the bitter taste is difficult to tolerate when the L-malic acid is added alone, and the bitter taste is difficult to tolerate when the citric acid is improved.
In conclusion, the heat-clearing anti-inflammatory agent provided by the invention utilizes the sucralose, the stevioside and the citric acid as the compound flavoring agents, the sucralose, the stevioside and the citric acid are mutually matched in a synergistic way, so that the oral compliance of the preparation is successfully improved, the bitter taste and the astringent taste of the Jiujiegu tea preparation heat-clearing anti-inflammatory agent are well improved, no bad smell is generated, and the whole taste is good.
