[0054] Example 1

[0055] 1.1 Preparation of triterpenoid active fractions: 4 kg of seedless pulp of Rosa laevigata was taken, dried and crushed, and then added to 30 L of 50% ethanol and refluxed (at 80±5°C) for 2 h. Extraction was performed four times in total. The four extracts (120 L) were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure at 60°C for 3-4 days to 5 L. Half of the concentrate (2.5 L) was taken out and vacuum dried to obtain 314.4 g of Rosa laevigata total extract. The remaining half of the concentrate was passed through HP20 macroporous adsorption resin (Beijing Green Baicao Technology Development Co., Ltd.) column chromatography, eluting with water (25 L) and 80% ethanol (40 L) in sequence. The 80% ethanol elution fraction was concentrated under reduced pressure and vacuum dried to obtain 252 g of the 80% alcohol wash fraction. The 80% alcohol portion was dispersed with 5L of water and then extracted with ethyl acetate 20 times (5L each time). The ethyl acetate extraction portion was concentrated under reduced pressure and dried to obtain 109g. The ethyl acetate extraction portion was chromatographed on a 100-200 mesh polyamide (Sinopharm Group) column and eluted with pure water (10L), 50% ethanol (20L), 75% ethanol (20L) and 95% ethanol (20L).

According to the characteristic UV absorption and TLC color reaction of triterpenoids, HPLC-DAD and TLC methods were used for tracking, analysis, separation and purification. 78.78 g of the triterpenoid active fraction was taken. The sample was mixed with 100 g of 80-100 mesh silica gel by silica gel column chromatography, and the column was packed with 654 g of 200-300 mesh silica gel, and gradient elution was carried out with dichloromethane:methanol system (the volume ratios of dichloromethane and methanol were 100:0 17 L, 100:1 32 L, 100:2 29 L, 100:3 18 L, 100:4 18 L, 100:5 18 L, 100:7 41 L, 100:10 10 L, 100:0 10 L).

[0064] Example 2

[0065] 2.1 Study on the uric acid-lowering effect of the triterpene active fraction and triterpenoids

[0066] 2.1.1 Experimental method:

[0067] 64 Kunming mice (weighing 20 - 25 g, male), after 1 week of adaptive feeding, were randomly divided into 8 groups: blank control group, model control group, allopurinol group (10 mg / kg), total extract of Rosa laevigata Michx. group (310 mg / kg), triterpenoid active fraction group (80 mg / kg), compound 1 group (80 mg / kg), compound 2 group (60 mg / kg), and compound 4 group (60 mg / kg). The dosage of the total extract of Rosa laevigata Michx. group was calculated based on the extraction method. Since 78.78 g of triterpenoid active fraction was extracted from 314.4 g, when converted to the same amount, the dosage of the total extract of Rosa laevigata Michx. group was 310 mg / kg. At 9 am, except for the blank control group, mice in other groups were intragastrically administered with an adenine-containing 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (0.5% CMC-Na) suspension (adenine: 100 mg / kg) and intraperitoneally injected with a potassium oxonate suspension (potassium oxonate: 300 mg / kg), while mice in the blank control group were intragastrically administered / intraperitoneally injected with an equal dose of 0.5% CMC-Na / H2O, and the intragastric volume was 10 mL / kg. One hour later, except for the blank control group, mice in other groups were intragastrically administered with yeast extract (10 g / kg), while mice in the blank control group were intragastrically administered with an equal dose of H2O, and the intragastric volume was 10 mL / kg. Two weeks after modeling, at 2 pm, mice in each drug group were intragastrically administered with the corresponding dose of the drug, and mice in the blank control group and the model control group were intragastrically administered with an equal dose of 0.5% CMC-Na, and the drug administration continued for 28 days. On the evening of the 27th day of drug administration, the mice were fasted but allowed to drink water for 12 h. One hour after the last drug administration, the mice were weighed and then anesthetized with chloral hydrate. Blood was collected from the orbital cavity into heparin sodium anticoagulant blood collection tubes, centrifuged at 3500 rpm at 4°C for 15 min, and the plasma was aliquoted and stored in a -80°C refrigerator for later use. Plasma uric acid (uric acid test kit: Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, C012-2-1) and liver xanthine oxidase activity (xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity detection kit: Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., BC1095) were detected by kits. The expression levels of liver xanthine oxidase and renal uric acid transporters were detected by immunoblotting: 50.00 mg of frozen left kidney tissue / liver tissue was weighed on ice into a 2 mL centrifuge tube, and 0.5 mL of RIPA lysis buffer (protease inhibitor and phosphatase inhibitor were added in a mass ratio of 100:1, freshly prepared) was added thereto. Tissue homogenization was performed using an electric grinder, and the tissue was lysed on ice for 30 min. During this period, it was shaken several times to ensure complete lysis. After lysis, it was centrifuged at 13000 r / min at 4°C for 15 min, and the supernatant was aspirated. Protein concentration determination was performed on the lysed supernatant (BCA protein concentration determination kit: Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., BC1095PC0020). According to the measurement results, the supernatant and the lysate were quantitatively aspirated, and 5× protein loading buffer was added in proportion, mixed well, and denatured at 95°C for 10 min. After denaturation, it was mixed well and aliquoted and stored in a -80°C refrigerator for later use.Protein samples equivalent to 40 μg were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Electrophoresis conditions: constant voltage (upper gel: 80 V; lower gel: 150 V). The protein bands were transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (PVDF membrane) by the wet method. Transfer conditions: constant current of 210 mA for 2 h. Blocking was carried out with 10% skim milk at room temperature for 2 h, washed 3 times with TBST, 10 min each time, and then incubated overnight at 4 °C in the refrigerator with relevant primary antibodies (GAPDH, 1:20000, proteintech: 60004-1-Ig; β-actin, 1:5000, proteintech: 66009-1-Ig; URAT1, 1:2000, Immunoway: YN3803; GLUT9, 1:5000, proteintech: 67530-1-Ig; XOD, 1:2000, proteintech: 55156-1-AP). After completion, it was washed with TBST for 5 min, washed a total of 6 times. After washing, it was incubated with the corresponding HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit / mouse (proteintech: SA00001-2 and SA00001-1) on a shaker at room temperature for 1 h. After incubation, the membrane was washed with TBST for 5 min, washed a total of 6 times, and then the membrane was immersed in an enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (ECL luminescence solution, Biosharp: BL523B), and the target protein was corrected with GAPDH / β-actin.

[0068] 2.1.2 Experimental results:

[0069] As shown in Table 1, compared with the blank control group, the plasma uric acid in the model control group was significantly increased, indicating that the HUA mouse model was successfully established. Compared with the model control group, allopurinol, the total extract of Rosa laevigata Michx. and the triterpenoid active fraction could significantly reduce the plasma uric acid level in mice, indicating that the triterpenoid active fraction has the activity of reducing plasma uric acid in HUA mice and is the active fraction of Rosa laevigata Michx. in reducing uric acid. At the same time, the triterpenoid active fraction could significantly reduce the content and activity of xanthine oxidase in the liver and down-regulate the expression of renal uric acid reabsorption transporters (urate transporter 1 and glucose transporter 9), indicating that the triterpenoid active fraction can reduce uric acid production and promote uric acid excretion to reduce plasma uric acid. The total extract of Rosa laevigata Michx. could significantly reduce the activity of xanthine oxidase in the liver and down-regulate the expression of renal uric acid reabsorption transporter (urate transporter 1), and had no effect on the content of xanthine oxidase in the liver and glucose transporter 9 in the kidney. The uric acid-lowering effects of Compound 1, Compound 2 and Compound 4 were better than those of the total extract of Rosa laevigata Michx. and the triterpenoid active fraction, and the triterpenoid active fraction was better than the total extract of Rosa laevigata Michx.

[0074] 2.2 Inhibiting xanthine oxidase activity

[0075] 2.2.1 Experimental method:

[0076] The in vitro XOD activity detection system consists of a drug, XOD solution (final concentration 20 U / L), xanthine solution (final concentration 120 μM), and 2 M hydrochloric acid. Allopurinol was used as the positive drug, as shown in Table 2:

[0077] Table 2 XOD activity detection system

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] 2.2.2 Experimental results:

[0081] By measuring the inhibitory activity of XOD in vitro, the inhibition curves of the triterpene active fraction and triterpenoids on XOD were obtained, and then the inhibition rate and sample concentration were fitted to a non-linear regression to calculate the IC 50 value. The results are shown in Table 4. It can be seen that the triterpene active fraction of Rosa laevigata has a certain XOD inhibitory activity, and the IC 50 value is 1.21 ± 0.08 mg / mL. Compounds 1 - 6 showed XOD inhibitory activity. Among them, the IC 50 value of compound 2 was the lowest, at 0.76 ± 0.06 mM, and the IC 50 value of compound 4 was 0.79 ± 0.01 mM.

[0082] Table 3 IC50 values of the total extract of Rosa laevigata and its various fractions for in vitro XOD inhibition

[0083]

[0084] From the above data, it can be seen that the triterpene active fraction and triterpenoids of Rosa laevigata showed a strong effect of reducing uric acid and are expected to be developed into new drugs for reducing uric acid.
