Description

Traditional Chinese Medicine Composition to Treat Bronchial Asthma and Preparation
Method thereof
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating bronchial asthma and preparation method thereof, and it belongs to the field of Chinese herbal medical art.
Background of the Invention
Bronchial asthma Chereinafter “asthma”), is a common chronic lung disease. At present, about 200 million people worldwide suffer from asthma, and there are about 20 million asthma patients in China. The data from five major Chinese cities show that asthma incidence rate of 3-14 years old students is 3% to 5%. Generally, it is believed that the incidence rate is higher in children than in adults, and almost same with adult men and women. About 40% of patients have family history. A survey shows that 33% of asthma patients required hospitalization or emergency treatment because of asthma in the past year, 58% of the patients incurred time loss of work due to asthma, 79% of asthma patients could not perform normal sports and leisure activities, 63% of asthma patients had to change their original way of living, 68% of asthma patients suffered sleep disorders because of asthma, and 74% of asthma patients could not perform normal physical labor.
Asthma is a modern disease. Its incidence rate will not decrease with the improvement of people's health and living standards. Instead, the incidence rate of asthma keeps increasing.
In the past 20 years, people have been actively seeking effective methods of preventing and treating asthma, which is a subject of tireless exploration of the medical profession. In China as well as abroad, commonly used western drugs to treat this disease are from the following categories: inhaled corticosteroids, $2 agonists, inhaled anticholinergic drugs, theophyllines, leukotriene antagonists, antagonists of other inflammatory mediators and cytokine antagonists, bone marrow eosinophil progenitor cell inhibitors, and allergen-specific immunotherapy and gene therapy. In recent years, these drugs achieved some clinical effects. However, the main aim of these drugs is to ease a series of episodes of bronchial inflammation and symptoms. They still do not solve the problems generally concerned by the respiratory professionals, which are the reduction in frequency and long-term control of clinical symptoms. In addition, there are many more problems in the treatment of asthma patients, such as the length of the treatment, when to reduce the dosage, how to reduce the dosage, when to take the patients off the medicine, which method or program can achieve the goal of controlling asthma, and which is more effective and safe for asthma patients, These problems not only challenge the clinicians, but also add more difficulties to continued treatment of the patients. Meanwhile, some adverse side effects of the western medicines have seriously affected continued treatment of the patients. According to a survey, nearly half of the asthma patients in China do not have not an ideal control of their asthma, and most asthma patients in the basic level and rural areas do not even have an effective control of their disease.. It is a long way to achieve the goal of generally improving the effectiveness of asthma prevention and treatment methods and medicines.
Traditional Chinese medicine has over thousands of years of history in the prevention and treatment of bronchial asthma. Ancient doctors had constantly explored treatment principles, methods, prescriptions and medicines for asthma, and had discovered a lot of effective prescriptions..Pharmacological studies have shown that treating asthma with traditional Chinese medicine has comprehensive effects of regulating immune system, anti-allergy, relieving asthma, preventing cough, expelling phlegm, anti-inflammatory and so on. Traditional Chinese medicine can reduce airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Clinical studies have shown that the treatment with traditional Chinese medicine has less adverse effects than western medicine, and can significantly relieve symptoms such as wheezing, chest distress, coughing, phlegm and so on. Most patients can enter remission phase of asthma during the treatment period, or reduce the dose of hormone, and improve their quality of life.
Dingchuan decoction, recorded in "She Sheng Zhong Miao Fang" (a traditional Chinese medicine formulations book), is composed of honey-baking Herba Ephedrae, stir-fry Semen
Ginkgo, Cortex Mori, radix scutellariae, Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Fructus
Perillae, radix paeoniae rubra, lumbricus, Periostracum Cicadae, radix trichosanthis and Fructus
Forsythiae. It is a famous prescription for treating asthma. Experiments showed that Dingchuan decoction has a protective effect on experimental asthma induced by histamine and acetyl choline chloride spray, and can antagonize histamine-induced contraction of isolated tracheal smooth muscle in guinea pigs [Li, zhengmu et al., pharmacology research of Dingchuan decoction in treating bronchial asthma. Traditional Chinese Medicinal Materials. 1999.22 (8):411]. It can further promote the secretion of phenol red in mice respiratory tract. These results prove, from a pharmacological perspective, that Dingchuan decoction has a satisfactory effect on relieving asthma and expelling phlegm.
Summary of the Invention
The traditional Chinese medicine composition in this invention is made from pure natural herbal materials, and comprises Herba Ephedrae, Cortex Mori, Radix Scutellariae, Semen
Armeniacae Amarum, Rhizoma Pinelline, Fructus Perillae, Flos Farfarae and so on. This composition significantly relieves the symptoms of bronchial asthma, such as wheezing, chest distress, coughing, stethocatharsis, and its effect is clearly better than that of Dingchuan decoction.

(5) Acecolex: Product of Sigma Company. 1.3 Apparatus: Yadu medical vaporizer, model YC-Y800B, produced by Beijing Yadu
Technology Co., Ltd. 2. Methods and results 1. Groups and drug administration of the animals:
After grouping, 80 guinea pigs were put into an air-tight organic glass cover (4L) in batches. An asthma inducing solution (isometric intermixture of 2% acecolex and 0.1% histamine phosphate) was atomized and sprayed into the glass cover by ultrasonic atomizer at a rate of 15 seconds/time, where the atomization volume was 4ml/min and atomization particle diameter was 1-5m. After atomization, the latent period of wheezing convulsion of guinea pigs within 6 min was observed.
Guinea pigs having a latent period of wheezing convulsion exceeding 120 seconds were excluded from further experiment. 66 eligible guinea pigs were selected and randomly divided into 6 groups: asthma model group, aminophylline group, Dingchuan decoction group, high, medium and low dosages of the inventive composition groups. Asthma model group was intragastrically administrated with same volume of solvent; aminophylline group was intragastrically administrated with aminophylline at 0.06g/kg (corresponds to 7 times of human clinical dosage);
Dingchuan decoction group is intragastrically administrated 8.1 g/kg of the decoction (correspond to 7 times of human clinical dosage); high, medium and low dosages of the inventive composition groups were intragastrically administrated with the composition at 5.1g/kg, 2.6g/kg, and 1.3g/kg, respectively (correspond to 14, 7 and 3.5 times of human clinical dosage, respectively). Each group was administered with the respective drug for 4 continuous days. The experiment began at 1h after the last administration. 2. Anti-asthmatic effect on drug induced asthma in guinea pigs
Animals in each group were placed into air-tight organic cover and asthma was induced by the method described above. After atomization, latency of asthmatic convulsion of guinea pigs was observed in 6min. If no asthmatic convulsion was observed, the latency was deemed as 6 min.
Statistical analyses of variance and t test were carried out by SPSS 10.0. The results showed that significant prolongation of latency of asthma induced by acecolex and histamine phosphate was observed in guinea pigs in the high and medium dosages groups of this inventive composition.
The group administered with the low dosage of the inventive composition also showed some effect on prolonging latency of asthma in guinea pigs, but there was no significant statistical difference compared to asthma model group. See table 1-1.

After breathing in a liquid mixture of histamine and acecolex, asthma would be induced in normal guinea pigs. The inventive composition with high and medium dosages (5.1g/kg and 2.6 g/kg, respectively) can significant prolong the appearance time of wheezing and falling in asthmatic guinea pigs (p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively). After sensitization by Ovalbumin (OVA), guinea pigs produce anti-OVA IgE antibody which combines with mast cells. When antigen OVA is inhaled, degranulation is caused by the combination of OVA and IgE on cell surface, and asthma attack is induced by the release of inflammatory mediators. Administration of the high and medium dosages (5.1g/kg and 2.6g/kg, respectively) of the inventive composition can significantly prolong latency of asthma in guinea pigs. In addition, This inventive composition showed better anti-asthmatic effect than that of Dingchuan decoction, 11. The effect of the inventive composition on late-phase reaction of bronchial asthma 1. Groups and drug administration of the animals: 60 healthy pure-white guinea pigs were randomly divided into 6 groups: Asthma model group, high, medium and low dosages of the inventive composition groups (5.1g/kg, 2.6 g/kg, and 1.3 g/kg, respectively), Dingchuan decoction group (8.1g/kg), and aminophyiline positive control group (intragastrically administered aminophylline at 0.06g/kg). Animals in asthma model group was administered with a solvent of same volume. Guinea pigs were intragastically administered with respective drugs for 3 days before asthma induction, and then for 4 continuous days after. 2. Anti-asthmatic effect of this inventive composition on asthma induced by OVA in guinea pigs: Guinea pigs in each group were sensitized by intramuscular injection of 0.2ml 4% OVA saline solution in the hind leg and intraperitoneal injection of 0.2ml 4% aluminum hydroxide latex.
Guinea pigs were sensitized again by the same method at the 7th day. One hour after the last injection, asthma was induced by spraying the animals with ultrasonic nebulized asthma inducing solution for 6 minutes. The asthma inducing solution was 2% OVA saline solution, and the atomization volume was not less than 4ml/min. Latency of asthmatic convulsion in guinea pigs was observed in 6 min. If no asthmatic convulsion was observed, the latency was deemed as 6 min.
Results were analyzed using variance and T test. All analyses were carried out using SPSS 10.0.
The results showed that significant prolongation of latency of induced asthma in guinea pigs sensitized by OVA was observed in groups administered with high and medium dosages of the inventive composition. The low dosage inventive medicine composition group also showed some effect of prolonging latency of induced asthma, but there was no significant statistical difference compared with Asthma model group. See table 1-2.

Experimental model of airway inflammation caused mainly by eosinophils (EOS) infiltration can be established by sensitizing guinea pigs with OVA and attacking the animals by multiple inhalation with atomized OVA. That is known as the allergic bronchial asthma guinea pig model.
This experiment showed that guinea pigs administered with high and medium dosages (5.1g/kg and 2.6 g/kg, respectively) of the inventive composition exhibited significantly prolonged latency of OVA induced asthma , and decreased number of EOS in whole blood were observed in animals from these two groups (p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively). It suggests that high and medium dosages of the inventive composition have better effect on delayed bronchial asthma in guinea pigs than that of Dingchuan decoction.

Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammation disease caused by multiple cells and cellular components. It can cause airway hyperreactivity which induces wheezing, dyspnea, chest distress and repeated attacks of coughing. The etiology is related to atopic allergy. At the same time, the etiology of some patients is undetermined. Symptomatic treatment and eticlogical treatment are both adopted. Because herbal compounds have multi-link comprehensive effects, they have unique advantages in treating bronchial asthma. Therefore, the pharmacodynamic studies of this inventive composition were based on its effect of dispersing lung-gi, relieving asthma, clearing heat and removing phlegm, and focus on improveming the symptoms by removing phlegm, relieving cough and anti-inflammation. At the same time, these studies observed the inventive composition’s effects on related mechanisms such as allergy reactions, mast cells degranulation, immunoregulation and so on to comprehensively evaluate the medicine’s therapeutic effects and mechanisms. :
The pharmacodynamic study results suggest that high and medium doses of the inventive composition can both significantly prolong the time of appearance of wheezing and falling in guinea pigs with asthma induced by mixed solution of histamine and acetylcholine chloride, and also can significantly prolong the latency in guinea pigs with asthma induced by OVA. For late-phase reaction asthma induced by multiple attacks of OVA, high and medium doses of this inventive composition can significantly prolong the latency of last asthma induced by OVA,
decrease the proportions of eosinophils in whole blood and in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. In addition, high and medium doses of this inventive composition can inhibit Leukotriene B4 production in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Histopathology of bronchoalveolar also suggests that high, medium and low doses of this inventive composition can all decrease the infiltration number of eosinophils in bronchial wall and improve pathological injuries caused by inflammation in bronchopulmonary tissue. These results suggest that this inventive composition has significant treatment effects on both late-phase reaction and early-phase reaction of bronchial asthma, and has significant inhibitive effects on the production of relevant inflammatory cells and mediators.
Animal experiments of relieving cough, removing phlegm, antiinflammation and so on were adopted to observe clinical related symptoms and the symptom improvement effect of this inventive composition. The results suggest that high, medium and low doses of this inventive composition significantly prolonged the cough latent period in mice induced by sulfur dioxide and reduced the frequencies of coughing in mice. Trachea phenol red experiment results suggest that high, medium and low doses of this inventive composition significantly increased secretion of phenol red of mice trachea. Anti-inflammation experiment results suggest that high and medium doses of this inventive composition significantly inhibited voix pedis swelling in rats induced by injecting carrageenin and the formation of granuloma of rat’s tampon. At lh after model establishment, compared to control group, significant difference was found in the inventive composition groups, and the difference lasted for 6h. The above results suggest that this inventive composition has significant effects on relieving cough, removing phlegm and anti-inflammation, and has a good assistant effect on the improvement of asthma symptoms.
