Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention refers to a drug complex and its preparation method, especially refers to a drug complex with cholagogue and lithontriptic effect and its preparation.


BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY

The cholelithiasis is a kind of common disease with high incidence harming the health of people, which is one cause of the common colica syndrome inland and abroad. In the past, surgical operation is the main therapeutics for the cholelithiasis. But this therapeutics not only makes patients suffer from pain of operation, but also make the postoperative residual gallstone incidence higher. Thereinto, the incidence of residual gallstone in the hepatic bile duct is even increased to 70-92%, so the second surgical operation is required, which is more difficult. In the ending of 1960s and the beginning of 1970s, cholanic acid lithontriptic drug was applied in the treatment of the cholelithiasis in abroad and was somewhat effective. Now the drug is used inland too. According to the clinical case report, the efficacy of the therapeutics is about 50% (including reducing the gallstone size, dissolving the gallstone or decreasing the gallstone effect). According to the lithontriptic efficacy, it is significantly effective to the gallstone with diameter less than 1.0 cm. However, it is less effective or even not effective to the gallstone with diameter more than 2.0 cm, and has no obvious effect in the long-term treatment of 6 months for some of these gallstones. The lithontriptic speed of cholanic acid is slow, and in general 6˜24 months are required. The therapeutics for the treatment of the cholelithiasis can make 20% of the patients' SGOT increase. So it has certain toxicity. Many inland researches and experiments have been done for the lithontriptic treatment of the gallstone. Applying gallstone-excreting drug made from Chinese herb medicine to excrete the gallstone for the treatment of the cholelithiasis is comparatively effective. The efficacy for excreting the gallstone in the hepatic bile duct is 50˜80%, but the therapeutics is less effective or even not effective for excreting big gallstone.

2. The Lithogenesis Prophylaxis Effect for Bilirubin Gallstone in Guinea Pig.


Get 61 motley healthy female guinea pigs with 250˜300 g body weight. 1 week environment adaptation later after purchasing, the guinea pigs are separated into 6 groups randomly; Thereinto 5 groups are experimental groups. There are 11 guinea pigs in the first group, which is promoting gallstone formation model group [named gallstone formation group in the following, every guinea pig in this group is fed with 20 g/100 gbw (bw is abbreviation for body weight) feeding stuff with promoting gallstone formation effect, the following groups are all fed according to the method]. There are 11 guinea pigs in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th group, forcing to take LDRS stock solution 0.077 ml/kg.d, 0.154 ml/kg.d, 0.307 ml/kg.d, and feeding stuff with promoting gallstone formation effect. The 11 guinea pigs in the 5th group are fed with Eulektrol 0.1 5 ml/kg.d and feeding stuff with promoting gallstone formation effect. The guinea pigs in the aforementioned 5 groups are forced to take control drug and test drug at 8˜9 O'clock AM, in the afternoon measure every guinea pig respectively and feed them with feeding stuff with promoting gallstone formation effect, the rest 6 guinea pigs are all fed with fundamental feeding stuff. To ensure the accuracy of forcing to take drugs to experimental mouse/rat, single cascade in the feeding cage is used in the experiment; half cascade in the feeding cage is used for feeding guinea pig. The animals in every group are trained to be fed in daytime after grouping. At the same time, when feeding, uniformly mix the food and drug repeatedly. The food-adding inlet of crib can only accommodate the mouth of guinea pig, and then the food is added from the top down. Feeding time is separated into two phases, at the first phase the animals are fed with feeding stuff mixed with drug (or feeding stuff with promoting gallstone formation effect), when the feeding stuff mixed with drug is completely consumed the animal are fed with the fundamental feeding stuff. The animals in the experiment are fed with drug and feeding stuff with promoting gallstone formation effect for 90 days, sever the femoral vein of the animals in every group after 24 hours at the last drug administration time (isolate the serum), then execute the animals through decollation, rapidly anatomize the thorax and abdomen, clamp the common bile duct with hemostat, get the gallbladder to examine carefully and record the number of lithogenesis mouse/rat, calculate the rate of lithogenesis (the number of lithogenesis mouse/the number of experimental mouse), the result is showed in Table 1. According to the manipulation procedure of the 125I glycocholic acid radioimmunoassay kit, the glycocholic acid content of serum is measured respectively using γ immunoassay machine. Using the bilirubin assay kit made by the RONGSHENG reagent factory of biologic researching institute of Chinese Science Academy, through the caffeine method, to measure the common bilirubin and conjugated bilirubin respectively, calculate the free bilirubin, the result is showed in Table 1 and Table 2.


From the Table 1, continuously forcing to take LDRS stock solution 0.307 ml/kg.d , 0.154 ml/kg.d , 0.077 ml/kg.d for 90 days has different inhibition effect for the bilirubin gallstone formation rate of the guinea pig caused by the feeding stuff with promoting gallstone formation effect, thereinto the inhibition effect to the bllirubin gallstone formation rate of 0.307 ml/kg.d and 0.154 ml/kg.d dose are 0.0%, 27.3%, comparing to the lithogenesis group fed with the feeding stuff with promoting gallstone formation effect, the inhibition rate are 90.9% and 63.6% respectively. Comparing to the lithogenesis rate of the group fed with the feeding stuff with promoting gallstone formation effect, it is significantly lower, P<0.01 or 0.001,has significant difference showing that continuously forcing to take LDRS has good lithogenesis prophylaxis effect for bilirubin gallstone in guinea pig caused by feeding stuff with promoting gallstone formation effect.

From Table 6, 0.0163 ml, 0.0325 ml, 0.0650 ml/kg LDRS stock solution, 0.15 ml/kg Eulektrol, 100 mg/ml cholanic acid, 100 ml/kg dehydrogenized cholanic acid are all administrated from the duodenum of the experimental rats. 1 hour later after drug administration, compared with control group, the bile secretion coefficient of each group is respectively increased 26.2%, 49.4%, 81.2%, 101.3%, −3.4%, 26.8%, 57.0%; 3 hours later, respectively increased 86.4%, 91.0%, 127.3%, 102.7%. And 4 hours later, compared to the control group still respectively increased 51.3%, 69.9%, 76.1%, 13.3%, 45.1%, 85.8%. From the aforementioned result, highs moderate and low dose LDRS capsule all have obvious cholagogue effect, and the effect is obviously dependent on the dose, the cholagogue effect can last for more than 4 hours. Although Eulektrol has certain cholagogue effect, but it acts slowly and the bile secretion coefficient is increased only after 3 hour after drug administration, which shows Eulektrol acts slowly; Although the cholagogue effect of cholanic acid and dehydrogenized cholanic acid is verified, but the action time of cholagogue effect is slow than LDRS, it acts 2 hours after drug administration, thereinto the cholagogue effect of dehydrogenized cholanic acid can last longer time, but the cholagogue effect of cholanic acid acts slowly and lasts shorter time. The experimental results shows: LDRS has stronger cholagogue effect.

Every time after adding test solution observes for more than 3 minutes. When reaching the biggest effect, timely rinse the bath with flushing solution three times with 15 minutes break. After the contraction curve becomes balanced, to make another experiment. In each experiment, we can add 0.2-0.4 ml 0.1 ug/ml acetylcholine to observe if there is gallbladder muscle stripe contraction action response.(what we should pay attention to in the experiment are below: prepare the gallbladder muscle stripe rapidly and carefully without lacerating; Krebs solution should be prepared with double-distilled water). After adding acetylcholine, record the contraction curve of gallbladder muscle. From the contraction curve, we can see the amplitude of contraction curve rise. After contraction curve reaches peak-balance, add different concentration LDRS solution. After adding drug solution, the amplitude of contraction curve of gallbladder muscle stripe descends. Record the altitude of amplitude of every phase. The statistic method is below: before drug administration, from the upper and lower limit point of the amplitude contraction curve of gallbladder muscle stripe to respectively line a straight line parallel to the transverse coordinate axis, measure the altitude between the two parallel line as the normal amplitude (The lower line before drug administration is used as basal line). After contraction curve is stable, adding different concentration Ach solution, we can see the amplitude of contraction curve of gallbladder muscle stripe rise, through the peak of amplitude to line a straight line parallel to basal line and measure the altitude between the two parallel line as amplitude of Ach. After curve is stable, add different concentration LDRS stock solution and through the lowest point of amplitude to line parallel to basal line, measure the altitude between the basal line and the lowest line.
