This study is a phase 2, multicentre, dose-finding, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different doses of GHX02, compared with placebo, for acute bronchitis. One-hundred and fifty patients will be included in this trial and randomly assigned to either a high-dose GHX02 group(1920mg/day), standard-dose GHX02 group(960mg/day), or control group(placebo) in a 1:1:1 allocation ratio. Patients will take one of the medications three times a day for 7 days, with 3 visiting days(screening, day0, day7). On the screening day, the Korean Standard Tool of Pattern Identification of Cough and Sputum, a diagnostic system that determines therapy in Traditional Korean Medicine, will be used to allocate patients into three groups of wind-heat, wind-cold or others.

Fine dust concentrations come in direct contact with the human respiratory system, thereby reducing lung function and causing respiratory diseases such as asthma and rhinitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of GHX02 (combination of four herbs [Trichosanthes kirilowii, Prunus armeniaca, Coptis japonica, and Scutellaria baicalensis]), a herbal extract with established efficacy against bronchitis and pulmonary disease, in the treatment of asthma accompanied by rhinitis aggravated by fine dust. Therefore, we constructed an asthma-rhinitis mouse model of Balb/c mice challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) and fine diesel particulate matter, which were administered with three concentrations of GHX02. GHX02 significantly inhibited the increase of total cells and immune cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, lung tissue, and nasal ductal lymphoid tissue (NALT). GHX02 also reduced the severity of histological lung injury and the expression of interleukin (IL)-1α and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), which regulate inflammatory responses. The results indicate that GHX02 inhibited the inflammatory immune response in mice. Therefore, this study highlights the potential of GHX02 as a treatment for patients with asthma accompanied by rhinitis. Balb/c mice were challenged with OVA and PM10D, and then treated with three concentration of GHX02. GHX02 significantly inhibited the increase of total cells, immune cells lymphocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages, as well as their expression in lung tissue. GHX02 significantly inhibited the increase of total cells and immune cells in NALT. GHX02 decreased the severity of histological lung injury, expression of IL-1α and NF-κB. This study suggests the probability that GHX02 is effective for asthma patients with rhinitis by inhibiting inflammatory immune response.

Industrial development, along with the rapid growth of the economy, has greatly improved the quality of life in humans. Moreover, advancements in medical technology have increased life expectancy. Small particles increase airway inflammation when they penetrate the alveoli. We observed that GHX02 decreased the frequency and delayed the onset time of citric acid-induced coughing in guinea pigs. A phenol red secretion assay indicated that the GHX02 extract exhibits potent expectorant activity. The GHX02 extract also greatly reduced leukocyte levels. Our results indicate that GHX02 inhibits airway inflammation, reduces sputum production, and relieves cough. The GHX02 extract suppressed histamine release from mast cells resulting from compound 48/80-induced degranulation. The extract exhibited antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae and significantly inhibited the formation of LTC4. At high concentrations, the GHX02 extract suppressed the formation of PGE2 (prostaglandin E2). Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 levels decreased with an increasing dosage of GHX02. Oral administration of the GHX02 extract suppressed PM₁₀D-induced inflammatory symptoms in the lung, including increased alveolar wall thickness, accumulation of collagen fibers, and cytokine release. Treatment with the GHX02 extract also resulted in lower levels of inflammatory cells, in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung tissue. Our results indicate that GHX02 may be a useful therapeutic agent for treatment of respiratory diseases.

AbstractHerbal medicines are widely utilized for disease prevention and health promotion. GHX02 consists of mixtures including Gwaruin (Trichosanthes kirilowii), Haengin (Prunus armeniaca), Hwangryeon (Coptis japonica) and Hwangkeum (Scutellaria baicalensis). It has been purported to have therapeutic effectiveness in cases of severe bronchitis. Non‐clinical safety testing comprised a single‐dose oral toxicity study and a 28‐day repeated‐dose oral toxicity study with a 14‐day recovery period, and genotoxicity was assessed by a bacterial reverse mutation test, in vitro chromosomal aberration test, in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus test and single cell gel electrophoresis assay (comet assay). In the single‐dose oral toxicity study, the approximate lethal dosage is estimated to be higher than 5000 mg/kg in rats. Thus, the dosage levels were set at 0, 1250, 2500 and 5000 mg/kg/day in the 28‐day repeated‐dose oral toxicity study, and 10 male rats and 10 female rats/dose were administered GHX02. No clinical signs of toxicological significance were recorded in any animal during the dosing and the observation period in the single‐dose study. The no‐observed‐adverse‐effect level of GHX02 was 5000 mg/kg/day when administered orally for 28 days to male and female Sprague‐Dawley rats. Despite increases in the frequencies of cells with numerical chromosomal aberration in the in vitro test, the increases were not considered relevant to the in vivo genetic risk. Except for the increase of in vitro numerical chromosomal aberration, clear negative results were obtained from other genetic toxicity studies.
