Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bioactive substance extraction technology, and in particular to a targeted extraction and purification process for a complex active substance of white jade snail glycosaminoglycan-growth factor. Background Technology

[0002] The white jade snail (scientific name: Achatina Fulica) is rich in glycosaminoglycans and growth factors, among other complex active substances. Glycosaminoglycans (AFG) have heparin-like structural features, formed by the alternating linkage of L-iduronic acid sulfate and D-acetylglucosamine, and possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and tissue repair-promoting biological activities. Growth factors (such as EGF) can significantly promote the proliferation of skin fibroblasts and accelerate wound healing, making them core raw materials in the fields of medical aesthetics and biomedicine.

[0003] However, existing extraction processes suffer from four major technological bottlenecks: Simultaneous extraction of active ingredients is difficult: Traditional single enzymatic or alkaline hydrolysis methods cannot release glycosaminoglycans and growth factors at the same time, resulting in an extraction rate of less than 70% for one of the components, and easy separation and loss.

[0004] Low purification precision: Conventional single-column chromatography or simple filtration is insufficient to completely remove impurities such as extraneous proteins and sensitizing impurities, resulting in product purity generally below 95%, which limits its application in the medical aesthetics field.

[0005] Severe structural damage: Degradation by strong acids and alkalis or high-temperature treatment can destroy the spatial structure of sulfate groups and growth factors in glycosaminoglycans, resulting in a loss of more than 30% of biological activity.

[0006] Activity decay during drying process: Traditional vacuum freeze drying has a long time and low heat and mass transfer efficiency, resulting in an activity retention rate of only about 80% for composite active materials, and it is also prone to clumping, which affects solubility.

[0007] While there have been attempts at improvement within the industry, such as using enzymatic hydrolysis-column chromatography to extract glycosaminoglycans, the yield is only 0.88%, and simultaneous enrichment with growth factors has not been achieved. Single ion exchange chromatography purification has increased product purity to 97%, but the process is cumbersome and costly, making industrial-scale production difficult. Conventional freeze-drying processes, while retaining some activity, have drying cycles exceeding 30 hours, resulting in low production efficiency. Therefore, developing a targeted extraction and purification process for the glycosaminoglycan-growth factor complex active ingredient from *Solanum lyratum* that simultaneously extracts efficiently, achieves high purification precision, preserves the structure well, and maintains stable activity after drying has become a crucial technology urgently needing to be addressed in the industry. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In view of this, the present invention provides a targeted extraction and purification process for the active compound of white snail amine polysaccharide-growth factor, so as to solve or alleviate one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option.

[0009] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: a targeted extraction and purification process for the active compound of white jade snail glycosaminoglycan-growth factor complex includes the following steps: Step S1, Raw Material Pretreatment and Low-Temperature Degreasing: Select healthy, live white jade snails weighing 70-90g and subject them to a 3-day fasting and quiet rearing period. The quiet rearing environment should be 18-20℃, relative humidity 60%-65%, and ventilation rate 0.8m³ / h. Rinse twice daily with sterile saline. Aseptically separate the shell, soft tissue, digestive glands, and mucus. Mix them at a mass ratio of soft tissue:digestive glands:mucus = 5:3:2, add 8 times the volume of -10℃ acetone, stir and defatted for 30 minutes, then centrifuge at 4℃ and 10000rpm for 20 minutes and collect the precipitate. Repeat the above defatting operation twice. Redissolve the final precipitate with sterile water at 4℃ and adjust the pH of the system to 6.5-7.0 to obtain the raw material suspension. Step S2, Ultrasonic-Coordinated Targeted Hydrolysis with Compound Enzyme: The raw material suspension is transferred to a low-temperature ultrasonic reactor, and ultrasound with a frequency of 20kHz and a power of 250W is applied. The ultrasonic mode is set to 5s working / 5s intermittent, with a power density of 0.5W / cm², and the system temperature is controlled at 40~45℃. A compound enzyme preparation is added, which consists of papain with an enzyme activity ≥1500U / mg and neutral protease with an enzyme activity ≥1800U / mg in a mass ratio of 1:0.8. The amount of enzyme added is 1.2%~1.8% of the total weight of the raw materials, and the solid-liquid ratio of the hydrolysis system is controlled at 1:6~1:8 (g / mL). Hydrolysis is carried out at a constant temperature for 5~6 hours, with stirring at a rate of 80r / min for 8 minutes every 40 minutes. After hydrolysis, the enzyme is inactivated in an 85℃ water bath for 10 minutes to obtain the hydrolysate. Step S3, Gradient ion exchange chromatography purification: The hydrolysate was centrifuged at 4℃ and 12000rpm for 30min. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.22μm filter membrane and loaded onto a DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow column pre-equilibrated with 0.05M Tris-HCl buffer at pH 7.2. The column diameter to column height ratio was 1:15, and the sample volume was 1 / 10 of the column volume. Elution was performed sequentially with distilled water, 0.2M, and 0.5M sodium chloride aqueous solution at a flow rate of 1.5mL / min, each with a column volume of 3. The elution peaks were monitored using the phenol-sulfuric acid colorimetric method, and the 0.5M eluent was collected. The collected solution was then loaded onto a Q Sepharose Fast Flow column and eluted with 0.8M sodium chloride aqueous solution at a volume of 3. The eluent was collected to obtain the crude pure solution. Step S4, Membrane separation purification and gentle depolymerization: The crude pure product solution is passed through an ultrafiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 1000 Da at a pressure of 0.3~0.4 MPa and a temperature of 4~6℃. The temperature fluctuation of the feed solution is controlled to not exceed ±1℃. The permeate is collected. 11 mM ascorbic acid is added to the permeate. After it is fully dissolved, a 2% hydrogen peroxide solution is added, wherein the volume ratio of hydrogen peroxide to ascorbic acid is 1:3. The reaction is carried out at a constant temperature of 37℃ for 3 hours to obtain the depolymerized composite active solution. Step S5, Vacuum freeze-drying with porous media: The composite active liquid and mannitol-maltodextrin composite carrier are mixed evenly at a mass ratio of 10:1, wherein the mass ratio of mannitol to maltodextrin in the composite carrier is 1:1. The mixture is spread on a freeze-drying tray with a thickness ≤4mm and placed in a vacuum freeze dryer. First, it is pre-frozen at -55℃ for 7h, and the vacuum degree is adjusted to ≤5Pa. Gradient porous media is added, wherein the porosity of the gradient porous media is 60%~80% and the pore size is 50~500μm. The temperature is raised to -15℃ for sublimation drying for 14h, and then raised to 20℃ for desorption drying for 9h to obtain the finished product of white snail glycosaminoglycan-growth factor composite active product.

[0010] Preferably, during the fasting and rest period described in step S1, the environment is kept ventilated at a rate of 0.8 m³ / h; during the defatting process, an ice-water bath is used to control the temperature to ensure that the local temperature does not rise and to prevent the active ingredients from being deactivated by heat.

[0013] Preferably, the ultrafiltration process in step S4 is carried out at a low temperature of 4-6°C, using hydrogen peroxide and ascorbic acid. The -Vc system is used to gently control the molecular weight of glycosaminoglycans to 3.8~23.8kDa, and no additional catalyst removal is required after the reaction is complete.

[0014] Preferably, the gradient porous medium in step S5 has a porosity of 70% and a pore size of 200 μm; the condenser temperature during freeze-drying is ≤-60℃; the resulting product has a water content of ≤2.5% and a solubility of ≥99.8%.

[0030] Raw material pretreatment and low-temperature defatting: 15 kg of healthy, live white jade snails (80g each) were selected and placed in a clean room for a 3-day fasting and resting period. The resting environment was strictly controlled as follows: ambient temperature 19℃, relative humidity 63%, ventilation rate maintained at 0.8 m³ / h, and rinsed twice daily at 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM with sterile saline. The shells, soft tissue (7.5 kg), digestive glands (4.5 kg), and mucus (3 kg) were aseptically separated and mixed at a mass ratio of soft tissue:digestive glands:mucus = 5:3:2. 120 L of acetone solution pre-cooled to -10℃ was added to the mixture, and a stirrer was turned on (120 rpm) for defatting for 30 min, during which the reaction system temperature was strictly controlled using an ice-water bath. Subsequently, the mixture was centrifuged at 4℃ and 10,000 rpm for 20 min, and the lower precipitate was accurately collected. This defatting-centrifugation step was repeated twice to thoroughly remove lipids. Finally, the precipitate was redissolved in 60L of sterile water at 4℃, and the pH of the system was adjusted to 6.8 with dilute hydrochloric acid to obtain a homogeneous raw material suspension.

[0031] Ultrasonic-assisted directional hydrolysis with a compound enzyme: The raw material suspension was transferred to a low-temperature ultrasonic reactor, and ultrasound at a frequency of 20kHz and a power of 250W was applied. A probe-type ultrasonic instrument was used to achieve a power density of 0.5W / cm². The ultrasonic mode was set to 5s on / 5s off, utilizing the ultrasonic cavitation effect to assist mass transfer. The system temperature was maintained at 42℃ via jacketed circulating water. 270g of a compound enzyme preparation was added. This preparation was precisely formulated from papain with an enzyme activity ≥1500U / mg and neutral protease with an enzyme activity ≥1800U / mg at a mass ratio of 1:0.8, resulting in a total enzyme activity of 1700U / mg. The solid-liquid ratio was adjusted to 1:7 (g / mL), and hydrolysis was carried out at a constant temperature for 5.5h under these conditions. During hydrolysis, a mechanical stirrer was activated every 40min, stirring at a rate of 80r / min for 8min to ensure uniform heating and enzymatic hydrolysis. Once the hydrolysis endpoint is reached, the material is immediately transferred to an 85°C constant temperature water bath to inactivate the enzyme for 10 minutes, thus terminating the reaction and obtaining the hydrolysate.

Subsequently, this collected solution was directly loaded onto a second Q Sepharose Fast Flow column, eluted with 15 L of 0.8 M sodium chloride aqueous solution, and the target eluent was collected to obtain the crude pure solution.

[0033] Membrane separation purification and gentle depolymerization: The crude pure product solution was pumped into a tangential flow ultrafiltration system. An ultrafiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 1000 Da was used. Ultrafiltration concentration and desalination were performed under conditions of a transmembrane pressure of 0.35 MPa and a feed temperature of 5°C, with temperature fluctuations strictly controlled to not exceed ±1°C. The permeate was collected. Ascorbic acid (Vc) to a final concentration of 11 mM was added to the permeate, and the mixture was magnetically stirred until completely dissolved. Then, 2% hydrogen peroxide (by volume) was added. ) solution, in which The volume ratio of vitamin C to vitamin C was strictly controlled at 1:3. The mixture was placed in a 37°C constant temperature water bath shaker and reacted in the dark for 3 hours to complete the gentle depolymerization of glycosaminoglycans, resulting in a depolymerized composite active liquid.

[0034] Porous Media Enhanced Vacuum Freeze-Drying: The composite active liquid and mannitol-maltodextrin composite carrier (mass ratio 1:1) were mixed uniformly under sterile conditions at a mass ratio of 10:1. The mixture was evenly spread in stainless steel freeze-drying trays, with the material layer thickness controlled at approximately 3 mm. The trays were placed in a vacuum freeze dryer and pre-frozen at -55℃ for 7 hours to ensure complete freezing. The vacuum was then adjusted to 4 Pa, and a specially formulated gradient porous media (70% porosity, 200 μm pore size) was added between the trays to enhance heat and mass transfer. Programmed Temperature Rise: The temperature was first raised to -15℃ for sublimation drying for 14 hours, followed by desorption drying at 20℃ for 9 hours. After drying, the material was removed and pulverized to a particle size of approximately 4 μm, yielding 860 g of the final product: white snail glycosaminoglycan-growth factor composite active ingredient.
