Description
FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular to a pharmaceutical composition having the efficacy of preventing and treating lung injury, a preparation method therefor and a use thereof.


BACKGROUND

With the increasing air pollution, epidemiological research results show that fine particulate matter with a particle diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) seriously endangers human health, leads to respiratory diseases, and even involves organs such as cardiovascular system, nervous system, immune system. More and more attention has been paid to the impact of air pollution on the respiratory system, especially the correlation with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The intervention and prevention of COPD caused by PM2.5 have become a research hotspot.


Lung injury includes lung tissue injury caused by the factors such as chest trauma, lung inhalation of harmful substances and lung infection, and the conditions damaging the integrity of lung structure and lung function. Air pollutants are easily inhaled into the deep lung to cause respiratory tract injury, induce or aggravate a variety of diseases, and cause inflammation response, oxidative stress response, immune dysfunction and the like in the body. Lung injury is closely correlated with oxidative injury of tissue cells. Anti-inflammatory drugs, antioxidants and drugs regulating immune function are commonly used for prevention and treatment in clinical practice.


CN103099205A discloses a grape seed tablet including a grape seed extract, vitamin C and vitamin E, the grape seed tablet has efficacy of anti-oxidation, alleviating senile spots and reducing wrinkles, etc. CN103478561A discloses a functional food containing a grape seed extract, vitamin C and vitamin E, which has efficacy of anti-oxidation and anti-aging, etc.


Previous studies have shown that resveratrol has antioxidant efficacy on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in rats (see Antioxidation and Its Mechanism of Resveratrol in Rats with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Journal of Kunming Medical University, 2013), and can improve lung function to some extent, but the efficacy is slow, and its efficacy on preventing and treating lung injury needs to be improved. Therefore, it is particularly pressing to research and develop pharmaceutical compositions for the prevention and treatment of lung injury.

Preparation of aPM2.5 suspension: take a 50 ml centrifuge tube, weigh 600 mg of artificial fine particles and dissolve them in 20 ml of normal saline to prepare aPM 2.5 suspension with a final concentration of 30 mg/ml. After mixing, ultrasonic crushing was carried out for 15 min under the condition of ice bath in a cell ultrasonic crusher with on-off intervals of 5 seconds each. After the preparation, the suspension was stored at −20° C. in a refrigerator and was used within one week. Before being used, it was melt in a water bath at 37° C., shaken and mixed evenly, and shaken well before being dripped.


aPM2.5 suspension poisoning method: aPM2.5 poisoning was performed by non-invasive tongue depressor intratracheal instillation. Before being dripped, aPM2.5 suspension was heated to 37° C. with a dripping volume of 1 ml/kg, and the rats were anesthetized with ether. The upper incisor teeth of the rats were hung on the cord at the upper end of the table top of the rat fixing table to make their bodies sag naturally. The rats were fixed on the table top in a supine position and the table top slopes 45 degrees for easy administration. The tongues of the rats were picked out with a gavage needle, the small lamp in front of a laryngoscope was turned on, and the plastic half funnel-shaped tip of the laryngoscope was inserted into their mouth to their throat to expose their throat, and then the glottic fissure with inverted “V” shape of throat thereof can be clearly observed. When it is opened, a small gavage needle was insert into the trachea and a liquid was slowly pushed to make the suspension of fine particles into the trachea. After dripping, the rats were removed from the fixed frame, immediately erected and rotated, and the lungs thereof were gently rubbed to make the particles evenly distributed in both lungs as much as possible. A blank control group was dripped with the same volume of normal saline. On the first day of the experiment, tracheal drip was administered for poisoning once every three days for a total of 12 times.


The rats were fasted but allowed access to water for 16 hours before dissection, and anesthetized with 2% pentobarbital sodium (dosage: 40 mg/kg) at 48 hours after the last poisoning, and then the rats were fixed on the operating table in a supine position.


The abdominal cavity was opened and blood was taken from the abdominal aorta; the chest cavity was opened and a bronchoalveolar lavage was carried out on the left lung to prepare bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF); the middle lobe of right lung was removed and immersed in 4% of paraformaldehyde for fixation, which was used to prepare pathological sections; and after repacking, the remaining lung tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen and transferred to −80° C. refrigerator for storage.


Put the grape powder, the grape seed extract and the composition of example 18 into a mortar respectively, grind them finely, add a small amount of 0.5% CMC-Na solution, grind and mix them evenly, and fix the volume to make a final concentration of 40 mg/ml. It is prepared every week and stored in a refrigerator at 4° C., and shake it well before use. Administer 1 ml/100 g medicine by gavage every day with a dosage of 400 mg/kg.

Test Example 2 Study on Protective Effect of the Composition of the Disclosure on Lung Injury in Hypertensive Rat Model

The test method of test example 2 is the same as that of test example, including the provision of artificial fine particles (aPM2.5) and preparation of aPM2.5 suspension, aPM2.5 suspension poisoning method, preparation of the composition and administration method of the composition of example 18, etc.


30 rats aged 6 weeks with primary hypertensive SHR were used as experimental animals and divided into three groups: control group (SHR+NS), model group (SHR+PM2.5) and drug group (SHR+PM2.5+drug).


The rats were fed adaptively for one week after purchasing, and the blood pressure and pulmonary function were measured, then prophylactic administration is carried out and the dosage was of 1 g/kg. One week after administration, 100 mg/kg aPM2.5 suspension were administered to rats by tracheal drip once a week until the results of non-invasive pulmonary function showed that the pulmonary function of the model group decreased significantly. Then the experiment was ended.


An EMKA pulmonary function monitoring system is used to monitor the whole respiratory state. Compared with the model group, the drug group can effectively improve Ti and Te and reduce the frequency of breathing, which has a better protective effect on pulmonary function, and significantly improves the appearance of granuloma, chronic inflammation and exudation in lungs of rats in the model group, wherein granuloma is diffusely distributed lesions characterized by fibrous tissue hyperplasia in the form of nodules. It significantly reduces the level of pro-inflammatory related cytokines and the level of 8-OHdG in skeletal muscle, significantly improves skeletal muscle atrophy caused by lung function decline, and significantly improves the repair of DNA damage.


The above description of the particular embodiments of the disclosure is not intended to limit the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or variations according to the disclosure, provided that they do not deviate from the spirit of the disclosure, they should belong to the protection scope of the claims of the disclosure.
