Description

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION FOR TREATING INSOMNIA AND
PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF
Field of the invention
[01] The present invention belongs to the field of Chinese herbals, relates to a pharmaceutical composition and preparation method thereof, wherein said pharmaceutical composition comprises Radix Polygoni Multiflori and/or extracts thereof, Semen Ziziphi
Spinosae and/or extracts thereof and Fructus Mori and/or extracts thereof, and is useful in the treatment of insomnia.
Background of the invention
[02] Insomnia is a dissatisfying condition in terms of the quality and quantity of sleep which continues for quite a long time. Insomnia is a clinically common and frequently-occurring disease, and the clinical symptoms thereof manifest difficulty in falling asleep, ready to wake up from sleep, unable to sleep again after waking up, waking up too early in the morning, broken sleep, unable to sleep all night long, no-deep sleep or loss of sleep feeling, and may be accompanied with dreaminess. In addition, insomnia can induce discomfort after waking up, fatigue, reduction in efficiency of psychic activity or interference with social functions. It is suggested that about 20% of people at the age of 20 suffer from sleep disorder; which increases to 50% at the age of 55 and to 90% at the age of 80. As is indicated by the latest statistic data, more than 42.5% of people in China suffer from sleep disorder to different degrees; the morbidity of insomnia is up to 10%-20%. The results of “Sanofi-Aventis Sleep Survey” conducted by the Branch Society of Psychiatry,
Chinese Medical Association in 2002 indicated that 25.9% people consider themselves suffering from sleep disorder, which started 2 years (median) ago. However, it is worth noting that, according to the athene scale, 45.4% of people do not have ideal quality of sleep, wherein 28% belongs to insomnia, and 17.4% belongs to suspicious insomnia (Xiaohong ZHANG, China Medical Tribune, October 10, 2002, Issue 831).
[03] In recent years, with the continuous improvement of living standards of the people and the increase of social competition pressures, especially the overwrought working and study, the morbidity of the disease has been on the rise, which seriously affects the living, working and study qualities of the patients and has caused adverse effects on the working, study and the social communication. 45% of traffic accidents are related to sleep insufficiency, 50% of work injuries are related to sleep insufficiency, and the risk of accident for a chronic insomniac is 4.5 times as that of a normal person (Da JING, China
Medical Tribune, March 20, 2003, Issue 853).
[04] With the accelerated pace of life and increased working pressure, there are more and more patients with insomnia, and there is a more and more urgent requirement for effectively preventing and treating this disease. Studies in recent years show that the efficacy of sedative alone is poor, especially when the toxic and side effects of chemically synthesized drugs have become increasingly evident, and the dependence of human body, withdrawal symptom and rebound phenomenon have also caused widespread concern of medical practitioners and patients.
[05] There is a long history for traditional Chinese medicine to treat insomnia. Based on holistic conception and syndrome differentiation and treatment, the efficacy of traditional
Chinese medicine in treatment of insomnia , is definite and lasting with favorable safety, as well as satisfactory patient compliance. Thus, people seek to prevent and treat insomnia under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and the demand for treating insomnia with a medicament prepared from natural traditional Chinese materia medica is also rising.

[133] 30 minutes after the administration on the 14™ day, 2mg/kg scopolamine hydrobromide was administered by intraperitoneal injection except in the group of blank control to make a memory-reappearance disorder model. 3.2.4 Experimental period: 14 days.
3.2.5 Detection indicators and detection methods
[134] The mice were trained (water temperature 24-261, water depth 10 cm). When being trained, a mouse was first placed on the platform for 10 seconds so that it knew the existence of this safety zone, then the mouse was placed near the platform to allow it climbing the stairs by itself to be acquainted with path of escape. The whole training was divided into 5 days: Point A on the 9" day, Point B on the 10™ day, Point B on the 11" day,
Point S on the 12™ day, and Point S on the 13% day, the mice were trained once every day, each training was set to 2 minutes, and the animal was guided to the platform by a glass rod if timeout. When starting to swim, the mouse’s head was facing the wall of the starting point. After the training was performed to Point S, the mice were required to be able to swim to the platform within 2 minutes, otherwise they would be rejected. 30 min after the administration on the 14™ day, 2mg/kg scopolamine hydrobromide was administered by intraperitoneal injection, except for the group of blank control, to make a memory-reappearance disorder model. The test was performed 30 min after the modeling.
The mice started to swim from Point S, and the number of errors (the number of entering a blind end) and the latent period (the time period to swim from Point S to the platform) were recorded. 3.2.6 Statistical method: non-parametric test was performed by using spss11.5 statistical software. 3.3 Experimental results
[135] The swimming latent period of mice in the model group was extended in comparison with that of the group of blank control (P<0.01). The swimming latent period of mice in the groups of huperzine A was shortened in comparison with that of the model group (P<0.01). The latent period of in the group of 5.6 g Crude drug/kg of the pharmaceutical according to the present invention was shortened (P<0.05). The results are shown in Table 6.
