The present invention relates to the technical field of medicines, and particularly to a pharmaceutical composition containing silybin for the treatment of hepatopathy.
In the late 1960s and 1980s, the pharmaceutists of West Germany with H. Wagner as representative extracted the active ingredient from the fruit of the Silybummarianum, which is named as silymarin, a new class of flavonoid having a C-9 substituents, i.e., a flavonoid lignans condensed with a dihydroflavonol and a phenylpropanoid derivative. Silybin (silibinin) is one of the main components of silymarin. Pharmacological and toxicological studies have shown that silybin has the effects of protecting and stabilizing the hepatocyte membrane, promoting the recovery of hepatocyte and improving the liver function. Silybin has different levels of protection and treatment effects on various types of hepatic injury caused by hepatic poisons such as carbon tetrachloride, thioacetamide, hydroxycholine, phalloidin, mucronatine, etc. And silybin can be used for treating acute and chronic hepatitis, early hepatocirrhosis, fatty liver, toxic or drug-induced hepatopathy.
The silybin is poor in water solubility and common organic solvents, resulting in low bioavailability and thereby affecting the clinical efficacy. To improve the bioavailability thereof, domestic and external pharmacy workers have made substantial amounts of work. The measures to improve the absorption of poorly soluble drugs are typically superfine grinding, salinization, and the addition of cosolvent, etc. In recent years, the studies have shown that the dissolution and bioavailability are greatly improved by the methods of formulating into cyclodextrin inclusion compound, solid dispersion, synthetic phospholipid complex and formulating into different dosage forms.
From the perspective of solid preparation, the phospholipid complex is a more specific solid dispersion, which has a fixed melting point, is a molecular compound (complex) whose chemical nature is more stable and different from the compound of drug and phospholipid, such compounds varies with the types of phospholipid and ratios of drug to phospholipid, and a phospholipid molecule can be bound with a different number of drug molecules. Deduced from the spectroscopy characteristics of the complex, the drug has a strong interaction with the polar groups of the phospholipid, which inhibits the free rotation of the single chains in the molecule, whereas the two long fatty acid chains of the phospholipid do not participate in the complex reaction and are free to shift and wrap the polar portions of the phospholipid to form a lipophilic surface, so that the complex shows strong lipid solubility. The complex changes the physiochemical properties of drug, and thus increases the lipid solubility of the drugs and reduces the water solubility of the drugs, and promotes the combination of drug molecules and cell membranes to improve the absorption and increases the bioavailability of the drug.
Pu'er tea is a unique and famous tea in Yunnan province. The locality has moderate climate, abundant rainfall and is mist-shrouded. Pu'er tea is divided into two series by Yunan big leaf species sun-dry tea and reprocessing thereof: the enzymic Pu'er tea by directly re-processing into the finished product and the enzymic Pu'er tea by re-processing after the artificial accelerated fermentation, and the patterns of which are divided into loose tea and compressed tea; natural aging process is also persistently carried out after the finished products, with the unique qualities gets better.
Pu'er tea is the only post-fermented tea, and substances harmful to the human body such as theophylline, tea polyphenols are degraded in the long process of fermentation, so the product is mild, does not stimulate the body, and also can promote metabolism, accelerate the digestion and transformation of fats and toxins in the body. For the problems of obesity and three-hypes which are puzzling urbanites, Pu'er tea can play a good mitigation effect, such as expelling of toxin, nourishing the stomach, anti-inflammatory, reducing the cholesterol, off lipid and removing grease, cosmetic slimming. Modern technologies show that Pu'er tea can improve insulin resistance, regulate levels of blood lipid and leptin, etc., and can block the fat accumulation of hepatic parenchymal cell caused by insulin resistance to some extent.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic stress-induced hepatic injury that is closely related to insulin resistance and genetic susceptibility, the pathological changes of which are similar to alcoholic fatty liver disease. NAFLD is a clinicopathological syndrome characterized by steatosis and fat storage of hepatocytes in the hepatic lobule but without history of alcohol abuse. NAFLD shows different degrees of hepatic lesion, from simple fatty liver without any inflammation to severe inflammatory response of severe fibrosis and even cirrhosis, mainly includes 3 types: simple fatty liver, steatohepatitis, fatty cirrhosis.

Mice in each group are measured once a week during the experiment, and the effects of each group of medicaments on body weight of mice suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases in each group are observed. As shown in Table 3, the weight of mice in normal group is increased slowly and the weight of mice in model group is increased more rapidly. After 6 weeks of administration, the other administration groups except for the silybin phospholipid complex group could inhibit the weight increases of mice in different degrees (P<0.05), a combined use of silybin-phospholipid complex, Pu'er tea extract and vitamin E is significantly superior to using silybin-phospholipid complex alone.

Mild, that is, ⅓-⅔ of red granules are shown per unit area under light microscope, graded as 1 point; moderate, that is, more than ⅔ of the hepatocytes containing red particles, graded as 2 points; severe, that is, almost all of the hepatocytes containing red particles, graded as 3 points; no steatosis is observed, graded as 0 points.
As shown in Table 6, steatosis occurred in nearly all the hepatocytes in the liver tissues of the model group, and the pathological scores are significantly increased than that in the normal group (P<0.01); there is no significant improvement on liver pathological scores by using silybin-phospholipid complex or Pu'er tea extract alone (P>0.05); the combination of different proportions of the Pu'er tea extract, silybin-phospholipid complex and vitamin E can significantly improve the liver steatosis, reduce the pathological scores (P<0.05), and the effect is better than that of using the silybin-phospholipid complex or the Pu'er tea extract alone.
