Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of natural medicine, and particularly relates to a phenolic component with lipase inhibitory activity, a preparation method, a salt, a lipidated derivative, a medicine and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Overweight and obesity can cause hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, bone and joint abnormalities and other diseases, which seriously threaten the physical and mental health of patients. The causes of obesity are complex, mainly including genetic, lifestyle, disease and other factors. According to statistics, the main factor affecting obesity is the influence of lifestyle, such as increase in total food intake and preference for high-sugar and high-fat food, which can easily lead to excessive calories and thus obesity. In addition, some people lack exercise and energy consumption is reduced, which can also cause excess energy in the body every day and thus obesity. At present, orlistat, as an obesity treatment drug, is most widely used in clinical practice at home and abroad. Orlistat acts on the central nervous system, inhibits gastric and intestinal lipase, prevents the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol into free fatty acids and monoacylglycerol, reduces the absorption of intestinal mucosa to dietary fat (triacylglycerol), and promotes the excretion of fat from the body. Although orlistat has been approved by the US FDA, the European Union EMA and the China Drug Administration, it still has adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal reactions, respiratory tract infections and urinary tract infections. Therefore, it is urgent to find safe and efficient lipase inhibitor drugs from natural products.

[0003] Castanopsis chinensis, also known as Guilin chestnut, chestnut, small plate chestnut, etc., is a tree of Fagaceae Castanopsis, with a height of 20 meters and a diameter at breast height of 0.6 centimeters. The bark is longitudinally cracked and flaky, and the branches and leaves are not hairy. It is distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, southwest of Guizhou and southeast of Yunnan, China. The wood is light brown or light gray yellow, with coarse grain and solid texture, and is a good material for making furniture, buildings and farm tools. In folk, it is mainly used for the treatment of diarrhea, hemostasis and gastrointestinal inflammation. At present, there is no report on the chemical composition of Castanopsis chinensis, and there is no report on the Chinensin A component with lipase inhibitory activity in Castanopsis chinensis.

[0051] Example 2:

[0052] Detection of lipase inhibitory activity of phenolic compound Chinensin A

[0053] 1. Instruments and materials

[0054] The substrate 4-methlumbelliferyl oleate (4-MUO 75164) and porcine pancreatic amylase (EC 3.1.1.3, L3126) were purchased from Sigma Company, and phosphate buffer PBS was purchased from Shanghai Yuanye Biological Technology Co., Ltd. DMSO, MeOH were analytical pure, and citric acid and sodium citrate were purchased from Xilong Chemical Co., Ltd.; enzyme reader SpectraMax iD5 (Sunnyvale, USA); 96-well plate (Thermo Fisher Scientific China Co., Ltd.).

[0055] 2. Evaluation of lipase inhibitory activity

[0056] The colorimetric method (Ercan et al, 2016) was used to determine the inhibition rate of the test compound on pancreatic lipase by 96-well cell culture plate. The substrate 4-MUO generates 4-methyl umbelliferone with fluorescence under the action of pancreatic lipase, and the fluorescence intensity of each well after reaction is determined to judge the inhibitory activity of the compound on lipase.

[0057] a. Prepare 0.1M citric acid-sodium citrate buffer (pH=4.2) with ultrapure water; prepare 1mg / mL pancreatic enzyme solution, 0.1mM 4-MUO solution, and 0.2M Na2CO3 solution with PBS (pH=7.4).

[0058] b. Take part of the prepared lipase solution (1mg / mL) and heat it in a 90℃ water bath for 20 minutes to inactivate the enzyme.

[0059] c. The positive control of the compound is diluted with DMSO to an initial concentration of 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, and 0.3125mM, respectively.

[0060] d. Sample (DMSO concentration is not more than 5% of the whole system) as follows:

[0061] Sample group: 1 μL sample + 24 μL PBS + 25 μL enzyme

[0062] Sample blank group: 1 μL sample + 24 μL PBS + 25 μL inactivated enzyme

[0063] Negative group: 1 μL DMSO + 24 μL PBS + 25 μL enzyme

[0064] Negative blank group: 1 μL DMSO + 24 μL PBS + 25 μL inactivated enzyme

[0065] After mixing, 50 μL of reaction substrate 4-MUO (0.1 mM) was added to each well, and the reaction was incubated in a 25°C constant temperature incubator for 20 minutes. Then, 100 μL of citric acid-sodium citrate solution (0.1 M, pH = 4.2) was added to each sample well to terminate the reaction. The fluorescence absorption value of each well was measured by an enzyme marker, and the excitation wavelength was 320 nm. Each sample was repeated at least 3 times, and the inhibition rate was calculated according to the following formula:

[0066] Inhibition rate (%) = [1 - (A sample - A sample blank) / (A negative - A negative blank)] x 100

[0067] The SPSS 19.0 statistical analysis software was used to calculate the half inhibitory concentration IC 50 value.

[0068] 3. Experimental data are shown in Table 2:

[0070]

[0071] 4. Experimental conclusion:

[0072] The experiment shows that the phenolic compound Chinensin A has good lipase inhibitory activity, and is expected to be used as a lead compound to develop a new obesity treatment drug.

[0073] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
