This invention relates to a drug combination for the treatment of infertility and its preparative method and applications.
In recent years, due to impacts of psychological, environmental, social and other factors, the fertilities of couples of child-bearing ages throughout the world have presented declining trend year by year and most of the reasons are caused by the decline of female fertility. Female infertility is mainly attributable to the following reasons:
1. Long-term endocrine disorders. Female endocrine disorders often manifested by amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, low estrogen, menstrual cycle disorder, ovulatory bleeding, metabolic disorders and other symptoms. Behind this series of symptoms, there are hidden ovulation disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, HPRL, corpus luteum insufficiency, ovarian insufficiency, premature ovarian failure and other diseases which serve as important factors that lead to infertility;
2. Long-term suffering from gynecological, inflammations that mainly comprise vaginitis, cervicitis, PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) and adnexitis, etc. Among the rest, PID is mainly manifested by bilateral salpingitis that causes obstruction in ovum, sperm or fertilized egg and thus leads to infertility. Severe PID may spread to tissues beside pelvic peritoneum, womb and uterine cervix, causing these organs to lose physiological properties of soft peristalsis and the lumen to be completely blocked and incapable of getting pregnant;
3. Repeated improper abortion. Those women who have repeated improper abortions are high risk population of infertility. Improper abortion can easily cause postoperative infection, fallopian tube inflammation, severe endometrial impairment and other circumstances. Ultimately, it may cause these women to find it extremely difficult to get pregnant or such serious consequences as habitual abortion or threatened abortion may appear after pregnancy.
The clinical treatment of female infertility is relatively tricky and western medicine is dominated in the current treatment in terms of generally supplementing estrogenic drugs or operative therapy. Despite of some certain effects, this treatment is featured with great damage to body and more obvious toxic and side-effects.
The aims of present invention lie in two, one is to provide a kind of drug combination for the treatment of infertility and the other is to provide its preparative method and applications.

Among the rest, it is the dosage form prepared by use of the powder drug from crude drug or water or/and ethanol extract (active component) of the crude drug plus excipients or accessory components commonly used in pharmacy.
Water extract or powder medicine belong to traditional methods of administration in traditional Chinese medicine. After the water extraction, as the dissolved water range is wide and able to dissolve out the most effective components and make the drug more easily absorbed by human body and achieve faster onset. For example, the decoction and other forms of medication. Using the raw powder into medicine can leave larger surface area and facilitate the absorption of effective constituents in the medicinal material. However, as the medicinal material remains unextracted and effective constituents still require to be dissolved inside the body for reabsorption, its onset is slower than that of water extract, the toxic and side effects caused by harmful ingredients in the medicinal material can be weakened and suitable for long-term dosing. For example, the original powder can be prepared into pills and other forms of medication. At present, during the pharmaceutical manufacturing process, ethanol is taken as solvent for the extraction of drugs, which is also one of the most commonly-used extractions. As a semi-polar solvent, its solubility property falls between the polar solvent and nonpolar solvent. Therefore, it can only dissolve some water soluble constituents, but also dissolve some constituents dissolved in non-polar solvents. Normally, ethanol is used to replace the water decoction and thus avoid the dissolution of a large number of ineffective ingredients and improve the concentration of effective components and extraction efficiency. However, as price of ethanol is expensive if compared with water, water decoction is usually dominated in the mass production of modern pharmaceutical industry, so as to save the cost of production. Under the premise that the alcohol extract of drug combination possesses the physiological activity in this invention, it is feasible to prepare the specific dosage forms by arbitrarily choose the water extraction, raw powder, alcohol extraction or their combination methods, so as to be fit for various demands for production and uses.

2. Experimental Methods and Results
2.1 Animal Grouping and Model Building
120 Kunming female mice (20 days old) were randomly divided into 6 groups according to their weights and there were 20 in each group. 20 mice in the normal control group were subcutaneously injected with saline and the remaining 100 mice were used in modeling and subcutaneously injected with TP (testosterone propionate). The modeling method is described like this, 100 mice were subcutaneously injected with 0.06 mL TP (testosterone propionate), 4 d/time, continuous injection for 2 weeks and drug withdrawal for 1 weeks. Those mice after modelling were randomly divided into three groups, i.e. model control group, Clomifenecitrate capsules group and HDG (high-dose group), MDG (medium-dose group) and LDG (low-dose group) of the drug combination in the present invention.
Experimental animals were fed separately in cages (2 cages in each group) and the experimental conditions include natural illumination, room temperature 17-20° C., humidity 50%-70%, creation of 12-hour illumination & 12-hour dark environment inside the space. Throughout the experiment, the mice were able to consume freely and drink water. Complete pellet feeds were used in feeding and the drinking water was replaced on daily basis.
2.2 Medication for Female Mice
Blank control group: Intragastrically administrated with distilled water on daily basis at a dose of 2 ml/d;
Model control group: Intragastrically administrated with distilled water on daily basis and at a dose of 2 ml/d;

LDG (low-dose group) of drug combination in the present invention: Intragastrically administrated with the drug combination at a dose of 2 g/kg;
After 4 weeks of administration, the drug was suspended for 48 h, 10 mice were executed in each group and the remaining 10 mice were left to carry out the conception rate test.
3. Experimental Results
3.1 Effect of the Drug Combination in the Present Invention on the Estradiol Content in the Sera of Laboratory Animals.
Irrigation was stopped for 48 h, orbital blood of mice was collected, serum was separated and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect E2. The results are recorded as shown in Table 1.
Comparison of E2 content in the mice sera of each group: :
As indicated in Table 1, in the HDG (high-dose group) and MDG (medium-dose group) of drug combination in the present invention, the estrogen level of modeled mice significantly increased if compared with that of the model control group, indicating that the drug combination in the present invention possesses the role of enabling it to be back to normal. Among the rest, the effects of HDG (high-dose group) was close to that of Clomifenecitrate capsules group.
3.2 Effects of the Drug Combination in the Present Invention on the Quantities of Follicles, Oocytes, Interstitial Gland Composition and Estrogen Receptor (ER) Among Experimental Animals
Mice were executed and their ovaries and uterus were removed. Ovaries were fixed with 100 g formaldehyde and tissue slices were observed under the ordinary optical microscope after the process of HE tinction and oil red 0 tinction. Uterus were fixed with 100 g/L formaldehyde and tissue slices were imbedded with paraffin and undergone the process of 4 μm slicing and ER marking. Light microscopy was used for observation after the hematoxylin counter staining. IHC was used to detect ER and the record results are as shown in Table 2.
The quantities of follicles, oocytes, interstitial gland composition and comparison of estrogen receptor (ER) expression rate x±s among mice in every group in Table 2.
As indicated in the experimental results, HDG, MDG and LDG of drug combination in the present invention can increase the quantities of follicles and oocytes, develop interstitial glands, promote the follicular development and generate ovulation and corpus luteum. The effect of modeling on interstitial substance was not obvious and Clomifenecitrate capsules group had insignificant effect on the interstitial gland after medication. Among the experimental animals in HDG, MDG and LDG of drug combination in the present invention, the levels of interstitial glands after medication were higher than that of the normal control group, explaining indirectly that the drug combination in the present invention exert their efficacies by regulating the overall function of reproductive organs, rather than only stimulating ovarian follicles.
3.3 Conception Conditions of Mated Female Mice after the Medication.
To put 10 mice from each cage into the cage where 4 normally-matured male mice. 10 d after the mating, uterus of female mice were dissected to observe the conception conditions. The record results are as shown in Table 3.
For the HDG and LDG of drug combination of the present invention, the PR (pregnancy rate) was slightly lower than that of Clomifene citrate capsules group and normal control group, indicating that the HDG and LDG of drug combination can effectively restore the physiological functions of modelled experimental animals.
(2) Effects of the Drug Combination of Present Invention on Mice with Fallopian Tube Inflammatory Obstructive Infertility
72 wistar female rats were randomly divided into 6 groups according to their weights and there were 12 rats in each group. Except for 12 rats in the blank control group, the remaining 60 rats were put into the modelling experiment aimed to induce the fallopian tube inflammatory obstructive infertility. Rats in the modelling group were fasted for 24 h (food was forbidden, drinking permitted), 20% urethane (5 ml·kg−1) was used in anaesthesia, ventral hair was cut away to open the abdominal cavity after iodine and alcohol disinfection. Next, 4# scalp needle was used to inject 20% phenol paste of 0.01 ml into ovarian ducts on both sides at the uterine bifurcation and sutured the wound. After the operation, 5 groups were randomly divided and there were 12 rats in each group, i.e. model control group (equal volume of distilled water was given), Fuyankang tablets group (0.41 g·kg−1), as well as HDG, MDG and LDG of the drug combination of the present invention. 30 d after respectively continuous intragastric administration, pharmacodynamic hemorheology detection was conducted by drawing blood and uterus was also taken for observation by naked eye. The record results are as shown in Table 4 and Table 5.
#P < 0. 05,
##P < 0. 01;
The tubal patency rate of rats in the model group was 16.67% and the number of blockage was obviously higher than that of the normal control group, indicating that the injection of 20% 0.01 mL phenol paste into the ovarian duct may lead to obstruction due to ureteritis. In HDG, MDG and LDG of the drug combination of the present invention, the tubal patency rate of rats was higher than that of Fuyankang tablets group. For this reason, the drug combination in the present invention can improve the symptoms of fallopian tube obstruction.
The high cut, low cut and PV (plasma viscosity) of model group rose if compared with the normal control group, indicating that abnormal hemorheologic indexes occurred in rats with obstruction due to ureteritis. In HDG, MDG and LDG of the drug combination of the present invention, the whole blood viscosities (low & high cut) of rats significantly decreased if compared with that of the model group and no obvious difference if compared with Fuyankang tablets group. For the HDG group, the difference was significant if compared with the model group. It is quite evident that the drug combination in the present invention has reducing effect on the whole blood viscosities (low & high cut) and PV (plasma viscosity) of 20% rats with fallopian tube inflammatory obstructive infertility caused by phenol paste.
Test materials, drugs and animals were the same as that in testing example 1.
160 healthy Kunming mice (weights 22±2 g) were randomly divided into 8 groups and each of two groups was taken as an experimental group. I group was the control group and intragastric administration of equivalent normal saline was arranged. For II-IV groups, the intragastric administration of drug combination in the present invention was arranged as per three dosages, i.e. 6 (HDG), 4 (MDG) and 2 (LDG) g/kg, 1 time/d and constant administration for 7 d. 30 min after the end of last administration, a group of mice were tied with load equivalent to 5% of the mice weight. Next, these mice were put into a glass jar. Physical exhaustion was considered when the head of mice was plunged into the water for 10 s and failed to come to the surface. In this case, the time from the commencement of swimming to the physical exhaustion was recorded as the load swimming time of mice. Another group of mice were put into a 500 mL ground mouth &wide-mouth bottle filled with 15 g soda lime (1 bottle for each mouse). Next, Vaseline was used to seal the bottle neck and started the timing. Stop watch was used to record the time from the hermetization of bottle neck to the death time of mice, which was recorded as the hypoxia time of mice.
In the HDG, MDG and LDG of drug combination of the present invention, the load swimming time and hypoxia time of mice were higher than that of the normal control group, indicating that the drug combination in the present invention can improve the mice activity and strengthen the physique of mice.
Test materials, drugs and animals were the same as that in testing example 1.
140 SPF-grade Kunming male mice (body weights 18-22 g) were taken and divided into 7 groups and there were 20 mice in each group. Except that 20 mice in the blank control group were given equivalent normal saline, the remaining mice administrated with the drug combination (HDG, MDG and LDG) of the present invention. The intragastric administration was conducted on daily basis with a dose of 20 ml/kg every day, 1 time for 1 d and continue for 30 d. After these mice were executed, the following tests were conducted: (1) ConA-induced mouse spleen lymphocyte transformation test (MTT method); (2) Determination of numbers of antibody-producing cells (modified Jerne's method); (3) Determination of serum hemolysin (blood agglutination test); (4) Mouse abdominal cavity macrophage swallows the chicken red blood cell experiment (semi-in-vivo method). The record results are as shown in Table 7 and Table 8.
As indicated in Table 7, if compared with the blank control group, the HDG, MDG and LDG of drug combination in the present invention increased in terms of lymphocyte proliferation ability, hemolytic plaque number and antibody volume, indicating that drug combination in the present invention can promote the lymphocyte proliferation and transformation ability in mice, enhance the antibody-producing cell proliferation in mice and increase the level of serum hemolysin in mice.
As indicated in Table 8, the phagocytic indexes of HDG, MDG and LDG in the drug combination in the present invention were significantly higher than that of blank control group, indicating that it plays a certain role of promoting the phagocytic function of mice's peritoneal macrophage.
Test materials, drugs and animals were the same as that in testing example 1.
1. Acute Toxicity Test
The mice were intragastrically-administrated with 50 g (crude drug)/kg of test preparation and no animal deaths were found during the testing period. In this case, it can be determined that the maximum tolerance dose for single dosage was 50 g (crude drug)/kg, which was equivalent to 125 times as high as the daily consumption of humankind (calculated as per the weight of 60 kg/each person, dosage of capsule: 2 capsules at each time, one time every day, 12 g of crude drug is contained in each capsule, daily consumption per person is 24 g, 0.4 g/kg/day).
2. Long-Term Toxicity Test
Continuous intragastric administration at a dosage of 20 g/kg were provided to rats for 10 weeks and there were no toxicity changes in terms of general clinical symptoms, weight gain, indicators of hematology and blood biochemistry examination, related organ systems and pathological tissues among animals, if compared with the distilled water in control group. 4 weeks after the suspension of drug, delayed toxicity was not found in the examination of the above same items, indicating that the oral successive medication of the drug combination in the present invention have no obvious toxic side effects.
In summary, the compatibility of this drug combination invented is precise, appropriate and possess outstanding curative effects. As shown in many experiments, the drug combination invented is safe and reliable, its toxic & side-effect is low and it has obvious improvement effects on female infertility caused by androgen, fallopian tube inflammation, tubal blockage and other factors. Furthermore, it can not only significantly improve the success rate of pregnancy, but also improve immunity and enhance the body's anti-fatigue and hypoxia tolerance. In short, the invention provides a safe and reliable new choice for clinical medication.
