[0083] Several 100 g/portions of fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. were placed in a glass bottle, added with 150 ml of 25%, 35%, and 45% ethanol, respectively, sealed, and kept at 40° C. Part of the samples soaked in 25%, 35%, and 45% ethanol were taken out every 5 days, reflux extracted with 70% ethanol for three times, in which 250 ml of ethanol was added for the first extraction, and 300 ml of ethanol was added for the second and third times, and each extraction was performed for 1 h, and filtered. The filtrates were combined. Ethanol was recovered under reduced pressure at 65° C. until there was no smell of ethanol. The extract was cooled down, added with water to 500 ml, mixed evenly, and centrifuged (at 12000 r/min) for 30 min to obtain a supernatant. The supernatant was filtered, and the contents of free amino acids and water-soluble total solids were determined in the filtrate. The results are shown in Table. 3 and Table. 4.

[0084] According to the test results in Table 3, a variation trend diagram of the water-soluble solids as a function of time during soaking the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. by 25%, 35% and 45% ethanol is plotted, in which the soaking time is the horizontal ordinate and the water-soluble total solids is the longitudinal ordinate, as shown in

[0085] According to the test results in Table 4, a variation trend diagram of the free amino acids as a function of time during soaking the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. by 25%, 35% and 45% ethanol is plotted, in which the soaking time is the horizontal ordinate and the amount of free amino acids is the longitudinal ordinate, as shown in
[0086] The results showed that the amount of water-soluble total solids and free amino acids increased significantly with the decrease of ethanol concentration, and was the highest in the 25% ethanol soaking group at each time node. Therefore, 25% ethanol was selected to soak the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L.
[0087] The results of 25% ethanol soaking group showed that the amount of water-soluble total solids and free amino acids increased significantly in the first 20 days than in the later period, and there was a relatively flat growth in 20-38 days. Therefore, the soaking time was preliminarily determined as 20-38 days.
[0088] The above results showed that, the lower the ethanol immersion concentration is, the higher the yields of water-soluble total solids and free amino acids are. For a comparative test with soaking in less than 25% ethanol and investigating the anti-corrosion problem during soaking, another group of fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. is soaked in 20% ethanol for the test.
[0089] {circle around (3)} Investigation on Soaking in 20% Ethanol.
[0090] Fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. was weighed by 100 g/portion, placed in a glass bottle, added with 150 ml of 20%, sealed, and left to stand for 25 days at 40° C. Part of the soaked samples were taken out every 5 days, reflux extracted with 70% ethanol for three times, in which 250 ml of ethanol was added for the first extraction, and 300 ml of ethanol was added for the second and third times, and each extraction was performed for 1 h, and filtered. The filtrates were combined. Ethanol was recovered under reduced pressure at 65° C. until there was no smell of ethanol. The extract was cooled down, added with water to 500 ml, mixed evenly, and centrifuged (at 12000 r/min) for 30 min to obtain a supernatant. The supernatant was filtered, and the contents of free amino acids and water-soluble total solids were determined in the filtrate. The results are shown in Table. 5 and Table. 6.

[0091] According to the test results in Table 5 and Table 6, a variation trend diagram of the water-soluble solids as a function of time during soaking the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. by 20% and 25% ethanol is plotted, in which the soaking time is the horizontal ordinate and the water-soluble total solids is the longitudinal ordinate, as shown in
[0092] According to the test results in Table 5 and Table 6, a variation trend diagram of the free amino acids as a function of time during soaking the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. by 20% and 25% ethanol is plotted, in which the soaking time is the horizontal ordinate and the free amino acids is the longitudinal ordinate, as shown in
[0093] The above test results showed that the yield of water-soluble total solids and free amino acids have a similar increase in in the two groups, which are slightly higher in the 25% ethanol group. However, in the 20% ethanol group, it was found that the samples smelled and deteriorated after soaking the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. for 20 days. Therefore, 25% ethanol was preliminarily selected to soak the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. for 20-38 days.
[0094] 2) Investigation on Soaking Temperature
[0095] Fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. was weighed by 100 g/portion, placed in a glass bottle, added with 150 ml of 25% ethanol respectively, sealed, and left to stand at 40° C. The soaked samples were taken out every 5 days, reflux extracted with 70% ethanol for three times, in which 250 ml of ethanol was added for the first extraction, and 300 ml of ethanol was added for the second and third times, and each extraction was performed for 1 h, and filtered. The filtrates were combined. Ethanol was recovered under reduced pressure at 65° C. until there was no smell of ethanol. The extract was cooled down, added with water to 500 ml, mixed evenly, and centrifuged (at 12000 r/min) for 30 min to obtain a supernatant. The supernatant was filtered, and the contents of free amino acids and water-soluble total solids were determined in the filtrate. The results are shown in Table. 7 and Table. 8.

[0096] According to the test results in Table 7 and Table 8, a variation trend diagram of the yield of the amino acids as a function of time is plotted, in which the soaking time is the horizontal ordinate and the amount of obtained amino acids is the longitudinal ordinate, as shown in
[0097] According to the test results in Table 7 and Table 8, a variation trend diagram of the water-soluble total solids as a function of time is plotted, in which the soaking time is the horizontal ordinate and the water-soluble total solids is the longitudinal ordinate, as shown in
[0098] The above test results show that the yields of water-soluble total solids and free amino acids in the normal temperature group are significantly lower than those in the 40° C. group at each time point after soaking. Therefore, the soaking temperature is selected as 40° C.
[0099] 3) Investigation on the Amount of Ethanol
[0100] It was found in a preliminary test that, the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. can be soaked just in 1.5 BV ethanol. Therefore, 1.5 BV, 2.5 BV and 3.5 BV 25% ethanol were added for comparison test.
[0101] Fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. was weighed by 100 g/portion, placed in a glass bottle, added with 150 ml, 250 ml, and 350 ml of 25% ethanol respectively, sealed, and left to stand for 10 days at 40° C. The soaked samples were taken out, reflux extracted with 70% ethanol for three times, in which 250 ml of ethanol was added for the first extraction, and 300 ml of ethanol was added for the second and third times, and each extraction was performed for 1 h, and filtered. The filtrates were combined. The extract was cooled down, mixed evenly, and filtered. The contents of free amino acids and water-soluble total solids were determined in the filtrate. The results are shown in table 9.

[0102] According to the results in Table 9, a column diagram is plotted, in which the addition amount of 25% ethanol is the horizontal ordinate, and the total solids and free amino acids is the longitudinal ordinate, as shown in
[0103] The above test results show that the addition amount of 25% ethanol has little effect on total solids and free amino acids, in which it is slightly higher at the amount of 1.5 BY. It may lie in that the water content in the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. is 50% or above, resulting in a slight decrease in the concentration of ethanol, and the degree of decrease is inversely proportional to the addition amount of ethanol. The experimental results are consistent with the previous results that the soaking concentration of ethanol is inversely proportional to the yield of water-soluble total solids and free amino acids. Therefore, the addition amount of 25% ethanol is 1.5 BV.
[0104] 4) Further Investigation on the Soaking Temperature and Soaking Time
[0105] Fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. was weighed by 100 g/portion, placed in a glass bottle, added with 150 ml of 25% ethanol respectively, sealed, and left to stand for 60 days at 20° C., 30° C., 40° C., 50° C. and 60° C., respectively. The soaked samples were taken out every 10 days, reflux extracted with 70% ethanol for three times, in which 250 ml of ethanol was added for the first extraction, and 300 ml of ethanol was added for the second and third times, and each extraction was performed for 1 h, and filtered. The filtrates were combined. Ethanol was recovered under reduced pressure at 65° C. until there was no smell of ethanol. The extract was cooled down, added with water to 500 ml, mixed evenly, and centrifuged (at 12000 r/min) for 30 min to obtain a supernatant. The supernatant was filtered, and the contents of free amino acids and water-soluble total solids were determined in the filtrate. The results are shown in Table 10.

[0106] According to the results in Table 10, a change trend diagram is plotted, in which the soaking time is the horizontal ordinate and the yield of free amino acids and water-soluble total solids is the longitudinal ordinate, as shown in
[0107] It can be seen from the test results that the soaking temperature has a great influence on the yield of total free amino acids and water-soluble total solids. The total free amino acids and water-soluble total solids in the 40° C. group are the highest at each time point after soaking. Considering the production cost and actual situation, it is more appropriate to control the soaking temperature at 40° C. (±2° C.).
[0108] Meanwhile, the yield of the free amino acids and water-soluble total solids shows a rapid increase in the first 20 days, a relatively slow increase thereafter, and no significant change after 40 days. Therefore, the soaking time for the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. is determined as 20-40 days.
[0109] 5) Comparative Study on Extracts of Three Species of Periplaneta americana L.
[0110] Preliminary tests showed that, the contents of total amino acids, free amino acids, peptides and water-soluble total solids in the alcohol extract of the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. soaked in 25% ethanol increased significantly. The following is a test for comparing relative substances in the extracts prepared from fresh body of Periplaneta americana L (MLX), dried body of Periplaneta americana L. (MLG), and fresh body of after soaking in 25% ethanol (MLP) according to the same preparation processes, and in vitro inhibition to inflammation thereof.

[0113] {circle around (2)} Comparison of Relative Substances in MLX, MLG and MLP Extracts
[0114] The contents of total solids, nucleoside bases, free amino acids, total amino acids and peptides were determined in MLX, MLG and MLP. The results are shown in Table 12.
TABLE-US-00012 TABLE 12 Determination results of various substances in samples Sample Total nucleoside free amino total amino Peptides No. solids (g) bases (g) acids (g) acids (g) (g) MLP 127.8 0.6 58.5 81.5 23.0 MLG 50.7 0.6 11.7 23.5 11.8 MLX 31.1 0.5 4.7 12.0 7.3 Note: 1. Nucleoside bases include uracil, hypoxanthine, xanthine and inosine. 2. Peptides = total amino acids − free amino acids. 3. The results of various substances are the total amount thereof in 1000 g fresh body.
[0115] According to the results in Table 12, a column chart is plotted, in which various substances in the extract are the horizontal ordinate and the total amount is the longitudinal ordinate. The results are shown in
[0116] According to the results in Table 12, the amount of total free amino acids, peptides and nucleoside bases in total solids are calculated. The results are shown in
TABLE-US-00013 TABLE 13 Content of various substances in total solids in the sample Total free nucleoside Sample No. amino acids (%) Peptides (%) bases (%) Others (%) MLP 45.8 18.0 0.5 35.8 MLG 23.1 23.3 1.2 52.5 MLX 15.1 23.5 1.6 59.8
[0117] According to the results in table 13, the pie chart of various substances in MLP, MLG and MLX samples in total solids is plotted, as shown in
[0118] The results showed that, except for nucleoside bases, other substances in the soaked group of fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. are significantly higher than those in the fresh body group and the dried group, in which the amount of water-soluble total solids was 4 times higher than those in the fresh body group and was 2 times higher than those in the dried body group; the amount of free amino acids was 10 times higher that in the fresh body group and 5 times or higher than that in the dried group; the amount of total amino acids was 7 times or higher than that in the fresh body group and 3 times or higher than that in the dried body group; and the amount of peptides was 3 times or higher that in the fresh body group and 2 times or higher that in the dried body group.
[0119] Although the extracts of the fresh body group, dried body group and soaked fresh body group contain free amino acids, peptides, nucleoside bases and other substances, the proportions and contents of various components are significantly different, indicating that there is a significantly different material basis among MLX, MLG and MLP extracts.
[0120] {circle around (3)} Results of comparative study on anti-inflammatory effect in vitro
[0121] Based on TNF-α-IL-6/iNOS-NO inflammatory signal pathway, the regulatory effects of drugs MLG, MLP and MLX on LPS induced inflammation of mouse macrophages (RAW264.7) were evaluated.
[0122] The original solution of drugs MLG, MLP and MLX was diluted by 80 times, 120 times and 160 times, respectively, incubated with cells for 12 h in advance, and used to stimulate cells to induce inflammation by a final concentration of 1 μg/ml LPS. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Griess method were used to detect the release amount of TNF-α at 50 min, and IL-6 at 4 h and NO at 12 h upon LPS stimulation.
[0123] The results showed that the effect of inhibition to the release of LPS induced TNF-α by MLG, MLP and MLX is not obvious. However, MLG, MLP and MLX diluted by different dilution ratios can significantly inhibit the release of NO and IL-6 induced by LPS, in which MLP has the most significant inhibitory effect on NO and IL-6 under the same dilution ratio. (see Annex 1 for details: Study on the effects of MLG, MLP and MLX on LPS stimulated mouse macrophage inflammation model)
[0124] In conclusion, the contents of water-soluble total solids, total free amino acids, total amino acids and peptides in the extract made from the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. by the same process, that is, soaking in 25% ethanol for 20-40 days, are significantly higher than those in the extracts made from fresh body/dried body of Periplaneta americana L., and the extract from soaked fresh body has the highest regulatory effect on LPS induced mouse macrophage (RAW264.7) inflammation.
[0125] {circle around (4)} MLG, MLP and MLX Cell Test Results
[0126] The original solution of drugs MLG, MLP and MLX was diluted by 80 times, 120 times and 160 times respectively, incubated with cells for 12 hours in advance, and then added with 1 μg/mL LPS to stimulate cell inflammation. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Griess method were used to detect the release amount of TNF-α at 50 min, IL-6 at 4 h, NO at 12 h upon LPS stimulation, and the regulatory effects of drugs MLG, MLP and MLX on LPS induced cellular inflammation were investigated.
[0127] The cells in logarithmic growth stage were inoculated into 24 well plates to provide a cell density of 6×10.sup.5/ml and 500 μL per well. After incubation for 12 hours, the culture medium was discarded and 500 μL DMEM high glucose medium was added to the blank and model groups, and 500 mL culture medium having drug solutions of different concentrations was contained in the drug administration group (the solvent content in individual groups were identical). They were cultured in a 37° C. and 5% CO.sub.2 cell incubator for another 12 h, and 20 μL of supernatant was removed from each individual wells. 20 μL DMEM medium was added to the blank group, and 20 μL medium containing 0.025 μg/mL LPS was added to the other groups, so that LPS had a final concentration of 1 μg/mL. After incubating another 50 min, 300 μL supernatant was suctioned from each individual wells, and filled into a 0.6 mL EP tube for TNF-α detection.
[0128] The same operation was performed for parallel plates. After adding LPS, incubation was performed for 4 h, and 300 μL supernatant was suctioned from each individual wells, and filled into a 0.6 mL EP tube for IL-6 detection.
[0129] The same operation was performed for parallel plates. After adding LPS, incubation was performed for 12 h, and 300 μL supernatant was suctioned from each individual wells, and filled into a 0.6 mL EP tube for NO detection.
[0130] All indexes were tested strictly in accordance with the instructions of kits. Finally, the absorbance value at the specific wavelengths were detected on an enzyme labeling instrument, and the content of indexes of each sample were calculated according to the standard curve prepared by the same method. If the absorbance value is lower than the absorbance value of the sample at the lower limit of the standard curve, it is counted as lower than the relevant value, and the relevant statistics are calculated as 0 mean and 0 variance.
[0131] The samples were detected according to the above methods and time points, the results showed that, compared with the model group, MLG, MLP and MLX had no inhibitory effect on TNF-α. Various drugs had significant inhibitory effects on the production of IL-6 (P<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner. Among them, MLP had the highest effect, and the inhibitory effect of MLG on IL-6 decreased with the increase of dose. MLG, MLP and MLX had significant inhibitory effects on the release of NO (P<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner, and, among them, MLP had the highest effect. The results are shown in following

[0132] {circle around (5)} Effects of Three Extracts of MLX, MLG and MLP on Increase of Skin Capillary Permeability Induced by Xylene in Mice.
[0133] Fifty mice weighing 18-22 g were randomly divided into five groups according to their body weights: MLX, MLG and MLP test groups. 0.2 mg/kg dexamethasone was used as the positive control drug, and the model control group was perfused with NS of equal volume. various groups were administered once a day for seven times. One hour after the last administration, various mice were injected with 0.5% Evans blue normal saline solution by 0.1 ml/10 g bw via caudal vein, and then xylene were dropped by 30 μL/per mouse on the abdominal skin depilated 24 hours in advance. After 20 minutes, the mice were killed by removing the cervical vertebra. The blue stained skin on the abdomen was cut off, and cut into pieces with surgical scissors, placed into a test tube with a plug, added with and soaked in 5 ml of acetone normal saline (7:3), placed in the dark for 72 hours, and centrifuged at 3000 r/min for 10 minutes to obtain a supernatant. Colorimetric detection was performed at the wavelength of 590 nm on a spectral scanning multifunctional reader to measure the absorbance (OD value). The permeability is represented by OD value, and the results are statistically compared. The results are shown in table 15.
TABLE-US-00015 TABLE 15 Effects of three extracts on the increase of skin capillary permeability induced by xylene in mice (
[0134] The results show that, after xylene modeling, the skin capillary permeability of mice increased significantly and the degree of skin blue staining increased. Dexamethasone administration could inhibit the increase of skin capillary permeability caused by xylene, and the degree of skin blue staining was significantly lower than that of the model group (P<0.01), with a inhibition rate of more than 80%. After intragastric administration of MLX, MLG and MLP extracts, the degree of skin blue staining in various extract groups was also significantly reduced compared with the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01), in which the MLP group was the most significantly reduced, and there was a significant difference with MLX group and MLG group.
[0135] {circle around (6)} Effects of Three Extracts of MLX, MLG and MLP on Cotton Ball Granuloma in Mice
[0136] Fifty mice weighing 18-22 g were taken, 10/group, half male and half female. The mice were fixed, and disinfected on the chest with iodine. Iodine was removed with 75% alcohol cotton ball. A small hole was cut in the chest, 20 mg high-pressure sterilized cotton ball was implanted into the armpit subcutaneously from the incision with ophthalmic forceps, and then the skin was sutured. Starting from the day of operation, the administration group was given MLX, MLG and MLP extracts (2 ml/kg) and dexamethasone (0.2 mg/kg), and the model control group was given NS of equal volume. The above groups were administrated for 7 consecutive days. Before the end of the test on the 8th day, the body weight was measured, then the mice were killed by taking off the cervical vertebra. The implanted cotton ball was taken out together with the surrounding connective tissue, removed of the adipose tissue, wet weighted, placed into the oven at 60° C. for 24 hours, and weighed on a precision balance. The weight of granuloma was obtained by subtracting the original weight of cotton ball from the weighed weight, and the comparison and statistical analysis between groups were carried out. The results are shown in Table 16.
TABLE-US-00016 TABLE 16 Effects of three extracts on cotton ball granuloma in mice (
[0137] The results show that, dexamethasone administration significantly inhibited the formation of cotton ball granuloma, and the wet and dry weight of granuloma were significantly reduced than those in the model group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the wet weight and dry weight of MLG and MLP granuloma were also significantly reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01), especially in MLP group, which was significantly different from MLX group and MLG group.
[0138] In conclusion, cell test and animal test show that three extracts of MLX, MLG and MLP have the effect of inhibiting inflammation, among which MLP has the highest effect.
Experimental Example 2 Investigation on Extraction Conditions
[0139] Fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. was weighed by 100 g/portion, placed in a glass bottle, added with 150 ml of 25% ethanol respectively, sealed, left to stand for 20 days at 40° C., taken out, reflux extracted with 50%, 60%, 70% and 80% ethanol for three times, in which 2.5 BV (250 ml) of ethanol was added for the first extraction, and 3 BV (300 ml) of ethanol was added for the second and third times, and each extraction was performed for 1 h, and filtered through 10 mesh filtering net. The filtrates were combined, cooled down, and filtered via filter paper, and obtained. The amount and extraction ratio of total free amino acids were detected in the obtained filtrate. The results are shown in
TABLE-US-00017 TABLE 17 Results of investigation on extraction solvent (n = 2) Concentration of ethanol (%) 50 60 70 80 RSD % Extraction ratio (%) 18.25 18.18 16.48 16.26 6.2 Amount of total free 7.02 6.61 6.30 6.64 4.5 amino acids (g) Filtering time (min) 3 2 1 1 / State of extracted Turbid Turbid Relatively Clear / solution clear
[0140] The results show that, the concentration of ethanol has little effect on the extraction amount and the extraction ratio of total free amino acids. The extract ratio of 80% ethanol group is slightly lower, but the clarity is the highest and the filtration speed is the fastest, which was convenient for production and operation. At the same time, there are few kinds of macromolecular proteins in the 80% ethanol extract, which is convenient for the subsequent purification process. Therefore, 80% ethanol is selected as the extraction solvent.
[0141] 2) Selection of Particle Size
[0142] The fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. soaked in ethanol has soft texture, and tends to form homogenate if pulverized, resulting in difficulty in filtering the extract. Moreover, the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. has 2.5-3.2 cm length, 1-1.4 cm width, and only about 1.3 g weight, that is, small size. Therefore, direct feeding of the whole body will not affect the extraction effect.
[0143] 3) Orthogonal Extraction Test
[0144] There are many factors affecting the ethanol extraction effect of the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. after soaking. Through the analysis of the physical and chemical properties of the substances as contained, it is decided to take the times of extraction, extraction time and 80% ethanol addition as the investigation factors. Combined with actual production, three levels are designed for each factor. The test scheme is shown in Table 18.
TABLE-US-00018 TABLE 18 Factor level table Factors times of Extraction Adding extraction time amount (times) (h) (times) Level A B C 1 1 1 3 2 2 1.5 4 3 3 2 5
[0145] According to the factor level table, L9 (3.sup.4) orthogonal table is selected for the test. At most four three-level factors can be arranged according to this table. In this experiment, there are only three factors randomly arranged in the table, and the fourth column is empty. By filling the factors of the test items into the table from left to right, test results are filled into Table 19, in which the extraction amount and the extraction ratio of total free amino acids are used as evaluation indexes, and variance analysis is performed on the test results.

[0146] According to variance analysis of the test results, it is found that clinical Fp table of F Test is F.sub.0.05(2,2)=19.0 and F.sub.0.01(2,2)=99.0. The results are shown in Table. 20.

[0147] The results of range analysis show that, the extraction time and solid-liquid ratio had little effect on the extraction amount and extraction ratio of free amino acids, and the extraction times had a great effect on the extraction amount and extraction ratio of free amino acids. At the same time, the results of variance analysis also shows that the extraction times has a large F value, and has a significant effect on the extraction amount. The two factors, that is, extraction time and solid-liquid ratio, have no significant impact on the extraction results.
[0148] To sum up, considering the improvement of production efficiency and reduction of production cost, the best extraction process is determined as follows: A.sub.3B.sub.1C.sub.1, that is, performing reflux extraction by 80% ethanol for three times, in which 1.5 BV (supplemented to 3 BV) was added for the first time, 3 BV were added for the second and third times, and extraction was performed for 1 h each time.
[0149] 4) Test According to a Preferred Process (A.sub.3B.sub.1C.sub.1)
[0150] According to the optimum technological conditions determined by orthogonal test, the yield of total free amino acids and extraction ratio were investigated.
[0151] Fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. was weighed by 1000 g/portion, placed in a glass bottle, added with 1.5 L of 25% ethanol respectively, sealed, left to stand for 20 days at 40° C., taken out, reflux extracted with 80% ethanol for three times, in which 1.5 L of ethanol was added for the first extraction, and 3.0 L of ethanol was added for the second and third times, and each extraction was performed for 1 h, and filtered. The filtrates were combined, cooled down, and filtered. The filtrates were taken and detected the amount of total free amino acids and extraction ratio. The results are shown in Table 21.
TABLE-US-00021 TABLE 21 Result of process verification (n = 2) Yield of total free Extraction amino acids (%) ratio (%) 6.41 16.31
[0152] The results show that, after soaking, the fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. was extracted with 80% ethanol for three times, in which each extraction was performed for 1 h, and 3 BV of ethanol was added for extraction. The yield of total free amino acids was 6.41% and the extraction ratio was 16.31%.

[0156] Fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. was weighed by 1000 g/portion, placed in a glass bottle, added with 1500 ml of 25% ethanol, sealed, left to stand for 20 days at 40° C., taken out, reflux extracted with 80% ethanol for three times, in which each extraction was performed for 1 h, 1.5 BV of ethanol (supplemented to 3.0 BV, 1.5 L) was added for the first extraction, and 3.0 BV (3.0 L) of ethanol was added for the second and third extractions, and filtered. Ethanol was recovered from the filtrate at 60-90° C. under reduced pressure, and the filtrate was concentrated to a relative density of 1.04-1.08 (60° C.), added with suitable amount of water to prepare a thin extractum of 1.0 g crude drug/ml, and refrigerated, being ready for use.

[0162] 8 portions of the above-mentioned thin extractum, 30 ml/part (equivalent to 30 g crude drug), was taken, added with 180 ml purified water (i.e. crude drug:drug solution=1:7) respectively, well mixed, added with 30 ml purified water, 30 ml 1% gelatin solution, 30 ml 1% chitosan solution and 30 ml mixed solution of chitosan/gelatin (1:3) at 60° C. under stirring, stirred at 60° C. for another 10 min, cooled, and refrigerated overnight. The extracts were taken out, and filtered. The filtration time of the samples was recorded, the condition of the filtrate was observed, and the content and light transmittance of total solids and total free amino acids of the filtrate were detected. The results are shown in table 22.

The suction bottle, Buchner funnel and filter materials used for filtering each group of samples are of the same model and specification.
[0163] It can be seen from the test results that, there is no significant difference in the yield of total solids and total free amino acids among the four groups. Chitosan/gelatin (1:3) provides the best clarification effect, the shortest filtration time, clear filtrate and the highest transmittance of filtrate. Therefore, chitosan/gelatin is selected as the clarifying agent for the study of clarification process.
[0164] 3) Selection of Clarifying Proportion
[0165] 10 portions of the thin extractum was weighed, 30 ml/part (equivalent to 30 g crude drug), added with 180 ml purified water (i.e. crude drug:drug solution=1:7), well mixed, added with 30 ml of chitosan/gelatin (2:1), chitosan/gelatin (1:1), chitosan/gelatin (1:2), chitosan/gelatin (1:3) and chitosan/gelatin (1:4) respectively at 60° C. under stirring, all clarifying agents are 1% mixture solutions, stirred at 60° C. for another 10 min, cooled, and refrigerated overnight. The extracts were taken out and filtered. The filtration time of the samples was recorded, the condition of the filtrate was observed, and the content and light transmittance of total solids and total free amino acids of the filtrate were detected. The results are shown in table 23.
TABLE-US-00023 TABLE 23 Investigation results of the ratio of clarifying agent (n = 2) Yield of Yield of total Transmit- Ratios of Filtering total amino tance clarifying time Conditions of solids acids rate agents (min) Clarification (%) (%) (%) 2:1 >66 * 14.63 6.21 55.53 1:1 53 *** 15.15 6.58 82.66 1:2 14 *** 14.58 6.56 87.80 1:3 3 *** 14.56 6.51 88.32 1:4 3 *** 14.75 6.60 86.03 Note: 1 The clarification effect is expressed by clarification (***), relatively clarification (**), turbidity (*); and 2. The suction bottle, Buchner funnel and filter materials used for filtering each group of samples are of the same model and specification.
[0166] It can be seen from the test results that, the change in the ratio of chitosan/gelatin has no significant difference in the yield of total solids and total free amino acids. Chitosan/gelatin by a ratio of (1:3) and (1:4) provide the shortest filtration time and the best clarification effect. Chitosan/gelatin by a ratio of (1:3) provides the highest transmittance for filtrate. Therefore, the ratio of chitosan/gelatin is selected as (1:3).
[0167] 4) Investigation on the Amount of Water Added
[0168] 12 portions of thin extractum were weighed, added with an appropriate amount of water to prepare solutions with crude drug concentrations of 1 g/ml, ⅓ g/ml, ⅕ g/ml, 1/7 g/ml, 1/9 g/ml and 1/11g/ml respectively, slowly added with a clarifying agent at 60° C., stirred for 10 min, cooled, and refrigerated overnight. The extracts were taken out and filtered. The filtration time of the samples was recorded, the Clarification condition of the filtrate was observed, and the content and light transmittance rate of total solids and total free amino acids of the filtrate were detected. The results are shown in table 24.
TABLE-US-00024 TABLE 24 Investigation results of water added (n = 2) Yield of total Ratio of Yield of free Crude Filtering total amino Transmittance drug/drug time Condition of solids acids rate solution (min) Clarification (%) (%) (%) 1:1 >33 * 13.87 6.35 2.80 1:3 1 *** 14.41 6.13 86.56 1:5 1 *** 14.17 6.24 88.42 1:7 3 *** 14.30 6.24 88.76 1:9 4 *** 14.49 5.15 88.93 1:11 4 *** 14.62 5.33 84.17 Note: 1 The clarification effect is expressed by clarification (***), relatively clarification (**), turbidity (*); and 2. The suction bottle, Buchner funnel and filter materials used for filtering each group of samples are of the same model and specification.
[0169] It can be seen from the test results that, change of crude drug concentration between ⅓- 1/7 g/ml has no significant effect on the yield of total free amino acids and total solids. The crude drug concentration of lower than ⅓ g/ml provides a better clarification effect, faster filtration speed, and a light transmittance rate of the filtrate of more than 80%, achieving a balance between production efficiency and cost. Therefore, the crude drug concentration is selected as ⅓ g/ml.
[0170] 5) Investigation on Amount of Clarifying Agent
[0171] 12 portions of dilute extracts were weighed, added with water to prepare solutions with crude drug concentrations of ⅓ g/ml respectively, well mixed, slowly added with a clarifying agent with 0.1˜1.2 ml/g crude drug at 60° C., stirred for 10 min, cooled, and refrigerated overnight. The extracts were taken out and filtered. The filtration time of the samples was recorded, the clarification condition of the filtrate was observed, and the content and light transmittance rate of total solids and total free amino acids of the filtrate were detected. The results are shown in table 25.
TABLE-US-00025 TABLE 25 Investigation results of the amount of clarifying agent (n = 2) Yield of amount of total clarifying Yield of free Transmit- agent Filtering total amino tance (ml/g crude time conditions of solids acids rate drug) (min) Clarification (%) (%) (%) 1.2 16 ** / / 69.20 1.0 2 *** 15.29 6.02 84.61 0.8 1 *** 15.32 5.92 88.76 0.6 1 *** 15.65 6.39 87.67 0.4 1 *** 15.72 6.47 76.31 0.2 1 *** 16.09 6.42 73.97 0.1 1 ** 17.06 6.40 65.21 Note: 1 The clarification effect is expressed by clarification (***), relatively clarification (**), turbidity (*); and 2. The suction bottle, Buchner funnel and filter materials used for filtering each group of samples are of the same model and specification.
[0172] The results showed that, when the amount of clarifying agent is 0.2-1.0 ml/g crude drug, the filtrate is clarified, the filtration time is short, and the light transmittance rate is more than 70%. When the amount is 0.2-0.6 ml/g crude drug, the yield of total solid and total free amino acids in the clarifying agent is all higher. Therefore, the amount of clarifying agent is 0.2-0.6 ml/g crude drug.
[0173] 6) Investigation of Clarifying Temperature
[0174] 8 portions of thin extractum were weighed, added with water to prepare solutions with crude drug concentrations of ⅓ g/ml respectively, well mixed, slowly added with a clarifying agent of 0.6 ml/g crude drug at 50° C., 60° C., 70° C., and 80° C., stirred for 10 min, cooled, and refrigerated overnight. The extracts were taken out and filtered. The filtration time of the samples was recorded, the clarification condition of the filtrate was observed, and the content and light transmittance rate of total solids and total free amino acids of the filtrate were detected. The results are shown in table 26.

The suction bottle, Buchner funnel and filter materials used for filtering each group of samples are of the same model and specification.
[0175] The results showed that, the clarifying temperature had no significant effect on the yield of water-soluble total solids and total free amino acids. When being clarified at the temperature of 60° C.-70° C., the filtration time of the sample is the shortest, and the light transmittance rate of the filtrate exceeds 80%. Therefore, the clarifying temperature is selected as 60° C.-70° C.
[0176] 7) Investigation on Heat Treatment and Refrigeration Process
[0177] {circle around (1)} Investigation of Heat Treatment Process
[0178] 4 portions of thin extractums were weighed, added with water to prepare solutions with crude drug concentrations of ⅓ g/ml respectively, and well mixed. 2 portions were boiled for 10 min, slowly added with a clarifying agent of 0.6 ml/g crude drug at 70° C. respectively, stirred for 10 min, cooled, and refrigerated overnight. The extracts were taken out and filtered. The filtration time of the samples was recorded, the clarification condition of the filtrate was observed, and the content and light transmittance of total solids and total free amino acids of the filtrate were detected. The results are shown in table 27.

The suction bottle, Buchner funnel and filter materials used for filtering each group of samples are of the same model and specification.
[0179] The results show that, whether to conduct heat treatment and refrigeration process has no significant effect on the yield of water-soluble total solids and total free amino acids.
[0180] However, the samples subjected to heat treatment and refrigeration process are easier to be filtered. Therefore, the boiling step is added, and the influence of boiling sequence on filtering.
[0181] {circle around (2)} Investigation of Boiling Sequence
[0182] 2 portions of thin extractums were weighed, added with water to prepare solutions with crude drug concentrations of ⅓ g/ml respectively, and well mixed. One portion was boiled for 10 min, cooled to 60° C., slowly added with a clarifying agent of 0.6 ml/g crude drug, and stirred for 10 min. another one portion was slowly added with a clarifying agent of 0.6 ml/g crude drug at 60° C., stirred for 10 min, boiled for 10 min, cooled, refrigerated overnight. The two portions were taken out and filtered. The filtration time of the samples was recorded, the clarification condition of the filtrate was observed, and the content and light transmittance rate of total solids and total free amino acids of the filtrate were detected. The results are shown in table 28.

The suction bottle, Buchner funnel and filter materials used for filtering each group of samples are of the same model and specification.
[0183] The results show that, the boiling sequence had no significant effect on the yield of water-soluble total solids and total free amino acids. Moreover, the clarification of filtrate is similar. The sample that is boiled first and then clarified has a faster filtration speed. Considering that, in actual production, it will be more smooth if it is firstly heated, boiled, then cooled to 60-70° C. for clarification, then cooled down, and refrigerated. Therefore, the sequence of boiling first and then cooling down to 60-70° C. for clarification is selected.
[0184] {circle around (3)} Investigation of Boiling Time
[0185] An appropriate amount of thin extractums was weighed, added with water to prepare a solution with crude drug concentration of ⅓ g/ml, well mixed, divided it into 6 portions, boiled for 10 min, 30 min and 60 min respectively, cooled down to 70° C., slowly added with a clarifying agent of 0.6 ml/g crude drug, stirred for 10 min, cooled, refrigerated overnight, taken out, and filtered. The filtration time of the sample and the clarification condition of the filtrate were recorded. The results are shown in Table 29.

The suction bottle, Buchner funnel and filter materials used for filtering each group of samples are of the same model and specification.
[0186] The results show that, with the increase of the boiling time, the filtration time increases slightly. Therefore, it will be more appropriate to control the boiling time at 10-30 min
[0187] 8) Determination of Clarification and Refrigeration Temperature and Refrigeration Time
[0188] 2000 g Fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. was weighed, placed in a glass bottle, added with 1.5 BV of 25% ethanol, sealed, left to stand for 36 days at 40° C., taken out, reflux extracted with 80% ethanol for three times, in which each extraction was performed for 1 h, 1.5 BV of ethanol was added for the first extraction, and 3.0 BV of ethanol was added for the second and third times, and filtered. The filtrates were combined and cooled. Ethanol was recovered at 65° C. under reduced pressure. The filtrate was concentrated to a relative density of 1.06 (60° C.), added with water to 6000 ml, boiled for 10 min, cooled down to 70° C., slowly added with 600 ml clarifying agent, stirred for 10 min, cooled, divided into 16 portions, refrigerated at 1° C. and 8° C. respectively, taken out at 16 h, 24 h, 40 h, and 48 h respectively, and filtered. The filtration time of the samples and the clarification condition of the filtrate were recorded, and the content of total solids, total free amino acids and light transmittance rate were detected in the filtrates. The results are shown in Table 30.

The suction bottle, Buchner funnel and filter materials used for filtering each group of samples are of the same model and specification.
[0189] The results show that, the refrigeration time and temperature had no effect on the filtration time, clarification, yields of total solids and total free amino acid of the samples. The light transmittance rate of refrigerated samples in the 1° C. group is slightly higher than that in the 8° C. group. According to actual production situation, it is selected to stand the clarified solution stand at 1° C.-8° C. for 16 h-48 h.
[0190] 9) Clarification Process Repeating Test
[0191] Fresh body of Periplaneta americana L. was weighed, 1000 g/portion, placed in a glass bottle, added with 1500 ml of 25% ethanol, sealed, left to stand for 20 days at 40° C., taken out, reflux extracted with 80% ethanol for three times, in which each extraction was performed for 1 h, 1.5 BV (1.5 L) of ethanol was added for the first extraction, and 3.0 BV (3.0 L) of ethanol was added for the second and third times, and filtered. The filtrates were combined and cooled. Ethanol was recovered at 65° C. under reduced pressure. The filtrate was concentrated to a relative density of 1.05 (60° C.), added with water to 3000 ml, boiled for 10 min, cooled down to 70° C., slowly added with 600 ml clarifying agent, stirred for 10 min, cooled, refrigerated overnight, and filtered. The filtration time of the samples and the clarification condition of the filtrate were recorded, and the content of total solids, total free amino acids and light transmittance rate were detected in the filtrates. The results are shown in Table 31.

[0192] The repeated test results show that the clarification effect is good and the filtration is smooth. The conversion ratios of water-soluble total solids, total free amino acids and total amino acids are more than 90%.
[0193] 10) Preparation Forming Process
[0194] (1) Preparation Forming Process Description
[0195] An appropriate amount of Periplaneta americana L. clarified solution (equivalent to 200 g crude drug) was weighed, added with 150 g glycerol and 1 g potassium sorbate, added with water to 1000 ml, well mixed, filtered (0.22 μm-0.45 μm microporous filter membrane), bottled, sterilized at 116° C.±2° C. for 40 minutes, cooled, inspected, labeled, packaged, and inspected to obtain the finished product.
[0196] (2) Selection of Sterilization Methods
[0197] The mixture usually adopts wet heat sterilization method. The wet heat sterilization condition under the sterilization method of 1421 in the 2015 edition of Chinese pharmacopoeia usually adopts a program of 121° C.×15 min, 121° C.×30 min or 116° C.×40 min. Considering actual production, the sterilization condition for this preparation was selected as 116° C.±2° C.×40 min. At the same time, the differences of properties, pH value, relative density and total free amino acid content of samples before and after sterilization were compared.
[0198] An appropriate amount of clarified solution (equivalent to 80 g crude drug) was weighed, added with 60 g glycerol and 0.4 g potassium sorbate, added with water to 400 ml, well mixed, filtered, and bottled. Half of the samples were sterilized at 116° C. for 40 minutes, taken out, and cooled. Samples were taken respectively to observe properties, and the pH value, relative density and total free amino acid content of the samples were measured. The results are shown in table 32.

[0205] 2) Pharmacodynamic Test Results
[0206] 40 Gy X-ray was used to irradiate the left cheek pouch of golden hamster (irradiation area: 1.82 cm.sup.2). After the onset of oral mucositis, 40 animals with a score of 1-2 were randomly divided into 4 groups (one model control group, and three drug treatment groups) according to the score of oral mucositis (auxiliary reference index: animal weight). Then, the corresponding drugs were administered by intraperitoneal injection or infiltration of the affected area combined with intragastric administration for 14 days (D12-D25, bid). The dosage is shown in table 33. Through the detection of animal oral mucositis score (modified Sonis score), the therapeutic effect of the tested drugs on radiation oral mucositis in hamsters was evaluated. The results are shown in table 34.

[0207] The ulcer onset period of oral mucositis in golden hamsters was 12-18 days after modeling. The score of oral mucositis increased rapidly, and D18 reached the peak (4 points). From the 20th to 26th days (D20 to D26) after modeling, the ulcer was in the recovery period, and the oral mucositis score of animals in various groups continued to decline steadily. After the drug intervention, the oral mucositis score of the model control group (model) animals had been in the highest state from 2 days of administration to the end of the test (D14˜D26). The oral mucositis score of the Odkin treatment group, high-dosage group and low-dosage group had been lower than that of the model control group. The low-dosage group has the lowest score and the best recovery during the whole recovery period. From D20 to 24, the scores of oral mucositis in low and high dosage groups were significantly lower than those in model group and model control group (P<0.05). The results showed that low and high dosages of samples could significantly promote the recovery of oral mucositis in hamsters.
