Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a linalool derivative and a preparation method thereof, and particularly to a linalool derivative with a long-lasting disinfection function, and its preparation and application. Background Art

[0002] Linalool is a naturally occurring compound with bactericidal and disinfectant functions, widely present in various plants such as lavender and citronella. Due to its natural and low-toxic properties, it shows great application potential in the fields of medical disinfection, food preservation, air purification, etc. However, linalool has a relatively small molecular weight (about 154.25 g / mol) and strong volatility, making it difficult to continuously exert its disinfection effect, affecting the service life and effect of the product, and resulting in its bactericidal effect being difficult to fully play.

[0003] To solve the problem of the long-lasting bactericidal effect of linalool, the existing technology usually adopts the fine powder method. For example, microcapsule fine powder containing linalool is prepared by methods such as spray drying. The wall material can be selected from natural macromolecules such as whey protein isolate, etc., and linalool is wrapped inside. By encapsulating linalool in microcapsules and then making the microcapsules into fine powder through some processes, it can protect linalool from the external environment and achieve slow release, thereby prolonging the bactericidal action time. Linalool can also be made into nanoparticles to form fine powder, or it can be loaded on a nanoscale carrier material, and the formed fine powder preparation may also help improve its stability and bactericidal persistence. For example, the preparation of linalool nanoemulsion with a particle size of 1 - 100 nm, which belongs to a thermodynamically stable system, can improve the solubility of the drug, reduce the enzymatic hydrolysis of the drug in the body, form a protective effect on the drug and achieve slow release. There are also cases of making linalool into nano-liposomes to increase the drug stability and achieve continuous and controllable release. However, these methods often introduce other chemical components, which may not only affect the bactericidal effect of linalool, but also pose potential safety hazards in some application scenarios with extremely high purity requirements, such as the medical and food preservation fields. In addition, the existing methods have limited improvement effects on the bactericidal ability of linalool and are difficult to meet the growing demand for highly efficient bactericidal products. Therefore, developing a method that can effectively improve the service life of linalool, enhance its bactericidal ability, and is green and safe has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0004] Sorbic acid is a common preservative that inhibits the growth of microorganisms and plays a preservative role by inhibiting the dehydrogenase system in microorganisms. It can effectively inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as molds and yeasts and is widely used in the food industry. However, the antibacterial effect of sorbic acid depends on an acidic environment with a pH lower than 6, and once the pH is higher than 8, it will cause its inactivation. Therefore, sorbic acid has weak and non-persistent antibacterial ability in a neutral to slightly alkaline application environment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Object of the Invention: The object of the present invention is to provide a linalool derivative with high and lasting antibacterial effect. Another object of the present invention is to propose a preparation method of the linalool derivative to solve the problem of how to modify and prepare the linalool derivative. The third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the linalool derivative in the preparation of a long-acting disinfectant to solve the problem of how to prepare a long-acting disinfectant.

[0006] Technical Solution: A linalool derivative with a structure shown in formula (I) according to the present invention:

[0007]

[0008] The second aspect of the present invention discloses a preparation method of the above linalool derivative, including the following reactions:

[0009]

[0010] During the esterification process, the molecular structure of linalool interacts with sorbic acid, and the electron cloud distribution of linalool changes accordingly, thereby forming a new chemical structure with stronger bactericidal activity, that is, a new disinfection group. This new disinfection group can more effectively destroy the cell wall and cell membrane of bacteria and interfere with the normal metabolic process of bacteria, thus significantly enhancing the bactericidal ability of linalool.

[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of linalool to sorbic acid is 1 - 2:1 - 2.

[0012] Preferably, the inert atmosphere is a nitrogen atmosphere or a helium atmosphere.

[0013] Preferably, the reaction temperature is 40 - 70 °C.

[0014] This temperature range can not only ensure the smooth progress of the reaction but also avoid the decomposition of linalool and sorbic acid or the occurrence of side reactions due to too high temperature. Continuously stirring the reaction ensures that linalool and sorbic acid are fully contacted and the esterification reaction is completed.

[0015] Preferably, the above preparation method includes the following reaction steps: adding linalool and sorbic acid into an organic solvent, mixing evenly, reacting for 2 - 6 h under stirring and heating conditions to obtain a mixed product, removing the organic solvent from the mixed product to obtain a crude product, and purifying the crude product to obtain the linalool derivative.

[0016] Furthermore, the organic solvent includes at least one of methanol, ethanol, dichloromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, and tetrahydrofuran.

[0017] Furthermore, the purification method is: adding the crude product into absolute ethanol, heating to slightly boiling to completely dissolve the crude product, then slowly cooling to room temperature, filtering to collect the crystals, and drying the crystals under vacuum to obtain the linalool derivative.

[0018] After the reaction is completed, the organic solvent absolute ethanol is removed by means of vacuum distillation to obtain a crude product containing linalool sorbate. Then, the crude product is recrystallized with absolute ethanol to further improve the purity of the esterified product. Finally, the recrystallized product is placed in a vacuum drying oven for drying to obtain pure linalool sorbate.

[0019] Furthermore, the vacuum drying method is drying at 30 - 50 °C for 4 - 8 h under vacuum conditions.

[0020] The third aspect of the present invention discloses the application of the above linalool derivatives in the preparation of long - acting disinfectants.

[0021] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following remarkable advantages:

[0022] 1. The present invention prepares linalool derivatives by the esterification reaction modification of linalool and sorbic acid, effectively reducing the volatility of linalool derivatives and increasing the effective period of linalool derivatives. The linalool sorbate in the present invention has a significantly improved antibacterial persistence compared with linalool, and the antibacterial rate can still be higher than 85% at 8 h.

[0023] 2. The bactericidal ability is greatly enhanced: The structure of linalool sorbate contains multiple double bonds and an ester group, with high reactivity. The newly formed bactericidal groups have brought a qualitative leap in the bactericidal effect of linalool. The bactericidal experiment results against common harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus show that at the same concentration, the antibacterial rate of the present invention against Escherichia coli has increased from about 50% to over 90% compared with linalool, and the antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus has increased from about 60% to over 95%. Specific embodiments

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below.

[0025] Example 1: A linalool derivative, whose structure is shown in formula (I):

[0026]

[0027] The preparation method of the above linalool derivative is as follows:

[0028]

[0029] Add 10 g of linalool essential oil, 15 g of sorbic acid, and 100 mL of absolute ethanol to a 250 mL three-necked flask in sequence. Introduce nitrogen into the flask to create an inert gas environment to prevent the oxidation of linalool during the reaction. Turn on the oil bath heating device, control the reaction temperature at 60 °C, and at the same time start the stirrer, set the stirring speed at 300 r / min, and mix and react fully for 4 hours. After the reaction is completed, transfer the mixed product to a rotary evaporator and distill off the absolute ethanol under the conditions of 40 °C and reduced pressure to obtain the crude product of linalool sorbate. Then, add the crude product to an appropriate amount of absolute ethanol, heat it to slightly boiling to completely dissolve the crude product, and then slowly cool it to room temperature to precipitate the linalool sorbate crystals. Filter and collect the crystals, and place the crystals in a vacuum drying oven and dry them at 40 °C for 6 hours to finally obtain high-purity linalool sorbate in the form of a white powder.

Incubate with shaking at 37°C, sample every 4 h, perform plate viable cell counting, and calculate the antibacterial rate. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0112] Table 1 Test results of the sustained antibacterial ability of different linalool derivatives

[0113]

[0114] In the above table, negative numbers indicate an increase in the number of bacteria.

[0115] As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the unmodified linalool has poor persistent antibacterial performance due to its strong volatility. Among various organic carboxylic acids, only the linalool derivative modified by sorbic acid can significantly improve the persistent antibacterial performance. The persistent antibacterial performance of the derivatives obtained by modifying linalool with other carboxylic acids such as hexanoic acid is not significantly improved compared with that of unmodified linalool. Instead, the decline rate of the antibacterial performance of some derivatives is much higher than that of unmodified linalool, and they cannot continuously play an antibacterial role. Sorbic acid alone cannot effectively inhibit bacterial proliferation in a neutral environment. Sorbic acid will quickly become ineffective in a neutral environment, and its persistent antibacterial effect is weak. Similarly, acetic acid also does not have a persistent antibacterial effect.
