Abstract： Objective： To analyze the medication rules of Chinese compound medicine patent in the treatment of gout， and to provide reference for the research and development of new prescriptions. Methods： The prescription data for treatment of gout in the National Patent Database were collected，and Excel 2021 was used for statistics of natures， flavors， channel entries and frequency. The association rules，clustering and correlation coefficient were analyzed by R 4.3.1 software. The complex core network of Chinese medicine was constructed by Cytoscape 3.8， and intensive Chinese medicine clusters were extracted. Results：A total of 525 patents were enrolled，involving 998 kinds of Chinese medicine. The top four were Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix，Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex，Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma，and Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma. The analysis of natures and flavors showed that the Chinese medicines were mainly cold in nature，followed by warm and the Chinese medicines were mainly bitter in flavor，followed by sweet and acrid. The top three channel entries were the liver，lung and spleen. Common medicinal pairs were Atractylodis Rhizoma-Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex， Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma-Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma；triplet medicine combinations include Atractylodis Rhizoma-Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix- Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex， Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex-Coicis Semen-Atractylodis Rhizoma， Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex-Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma-Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix. Through complex cluster analysis， three core medicinal combinations were extracted， and two potential medicinal combinations were discovered. Conclusion：The treatment of gout by Chinese compound medicine patent takes clearing heat and draining dampness as its principle. The medication rules and potential medicinal combinations obtained can lay a foundation for guiding clinical medication and developing new medicine.
