Problems solved by technology

There are some defects in the industrial application of these types of extraction processes: organic solvent reflux extraction method is the commonly used artemisinin extraction technology at present, which has the disadvantages of excessive consumption of energy and raw materials, excessive solvent consumption, and low extraction efficiency. The process time is too long, the discharge of industrial pollution is large, the recovery rate is low, and the production cost is high. The microwave extraction method is thermally destructive. Artemisinin has thermal instability, which leads to a decrease in the biological activity and extraction rate of the extract; the ultrasonic extraction method has the disadvantages of cumbersome operation and low efficiency; although the supercritical fluid extraction method has the advantages of high extraction rate and less pollution, there are The problem of high cost is currently unable to realize industrial production

Abstract

The invention provides a method for rapidly extracting artemisinin, comprising the following steps: taking fresh and non-dry artemisia annua as an extraction raw material; extracting the artemisinin from the raw material using analytically pure ethyl acetate or chloroform or dichloromethane under the condition of normal temperature and normal pressure; filtering, collecting extracting solution, decolorizing by active carbon, concentrating and then recovering an extraction solvent to obtain a crude artemisinin product; and crystallizing and purifying the crude artemisinin product by edible ethanol or petroleum ether or n-hexane to finally obtain the artemisinin product with high purity up to over 95% and high recovery rate up to over 86%. The method has the advantages of being efficient and fast, low cost and applicability to industrial application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of natural product separation engineering, in particular to a method for rapidly and efficiently extracting artemisinin from fresh and non-dried Artemisia annua at normal temperature and pressure. Background technique [0002] Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone peroxide isolated from Artemisia annua, and it is a specific drug for the treatment of malaria. Due to the resistance of malaria parasites to quinoline, artemisinin has become the drug of choice for the treatment of malaria, and the demand for artemisinin has risen sharply. Further pharmacological studies have proved that artemisinin and its derivatives have the effect of killing a variety of cancer cells, while causing little damage to normal cells, and there is no cross-resistance to traditional chemotherapy drugs. Therefore, the development of artemisinin and its derivatives into new anticancer drugs with high efficiency, low toxicity, low pri...
