[0044] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] Rice bran is a by-product generated during the processing of the plant Oryza sativa L. of the Gramineae family, mainly including pericarp, seed coat, aleurone layer and embryo. Rice bran contains a variety of active substances with rich contents. Therefore, the present invention extracts the rice bran alkaloid 4,6-dihydroxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid with lipase inhibitory activity from rice bran, which has excellent pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity.

[0046] A rice bran alkaloid with lipase inhibitory activity, wherein the rice bran alkaloid with lipase inhibitory activity is 4,6-dihydroxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid, and the structure is shown in Formula I:

[0047]

[0048] The rice bran alkaloid with lipase inhibitory activity is 4,6-dihydroxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid, which has the main structure of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, and the substitution of dihydroxy and the substitution of carboxyl and one of the hydroxyl groups on the same carbon atom at the 4th carbon atom make the 4,6-dihydroxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid have excellent pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity; and the 4,6-dihydroxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid is extracted from rice bran and is obtained by extracting natural products, so it has small toxic and side effects, and is stable in nature and easy to store.

[0049] A preparation method of a rice bran alkaloid with lipase inhibitory activity, comprising the following steps:

[0050] S1. After removing the grease from the rice bran, it is extracted with an aqueous solution of alcohol, and the residue is collected after extraction;

[0051] S2. The collected residue is extracted with an alkaline solution, then the solution is adjusted to acidic to obtain an extract, the extract is extracted with an organic solvent, the organic phase is collected, and the organic phase is dried to obtain an extract after removing the solvent;

[0052] S3. The extract is subjected to normal-phase silica gel column chromatography, and gradient elution is carried out with chloroform / methanol as the eluent, and the elution fraction with a chloroform / methanol volume ratio of (90:10)-(70:30) is collected;

[0053] S4. Subject the elution components collected in S3 to medium-pressure column chromatography on ODS-A, and perform gradient elution using methanol / water as the eluent, and collect the elution components with a methanol / water volume ratio of (20:80)-(40:60);

[0054] S5. The components collected in step S4 are separated and purified by high-performance liquid chromatography to obtain 4,6-dihydroxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid.

[0055] Rice bran contains parts such as seed coats and embryos, so it has more oil. The oil will dissolve in organic solvents and react with alkalis, so it will affect the extraction of alkaloids. Removing the ester from rice bran at the beginning of the extraction can reduce the subsequent extraction pressure. The target compound in the present invention is bound to rice bran fibers through chemical bonds. Therefore, after removing the ester, first extract with an aqueous solution of alcohol to remove other free components, and the target compound still binds to the rice bran fibers. Then, after collecting the extraction residue, the target compound is released by alkali hydrolysis for extraction; at the same time, the alkali solution can react with the carboxyl group of the target compound 4,6-dihydroxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid to form carboxylate, or the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring forms phenolate, increasing its solubility in water; then when the solution is further adjusted to be acidic, the carboxylate in the solution is reduced to carboxylic acid again, and it can be separated from the aqueous solution by extraction with an organic solvent.

[0056] The purification steps sequentially select normal-phase silica gel column chromatography, medium-pressure column chromatography on ODS-A, and high-performance liquid separation, and the corresponding eluents are chloroform / methanol and methanol / water. Through gradient elution, components containing 4,6-dihydroxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid at a specific eluent concentration can be obtained. Finally, pure 4,6-dihydroxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid can be obtained through high-performance liquid separation.

The 13C NMR spectrum showed (Table 1) 6 aromatic ring carbon signals (δ 154.7 - 113.8), 1 methylene carbon signal at δ 42.9 (C-3), 2 carbonyl carbon signals at δ 175.9 (C-11), 170.6 (C-2), and 1 oxygen-linked quaternary carbon signal at δ 74.8. Combining the presence of a nitrogen atom in the molecular formula, it was inferred that there was a 2-quinolone nucleus in the structure. According to the 1H-1H COSY and HSQC spectra, the carbon-hydrogen signals were assigned. As Figure 6 shown, in the HMBC spectrum, H2-3 was correlated with δ 74.8 (C-4), 127.3 (C-10), 170.6 (C-2), and 175.9 (C-11); H-5 was correlated with δ 74.8 (C-4), 117.3 (C-7), 130.4 (C-9), and 154.7 (C-6); H-7 was correlated with δ 113.8 (C-5), 130.4 (C-9), 154.7 (C-6); H-8 was correlated with δ 74.8 (C-4), 127.3 (C-10), and 154.7 (C-6). Based on the above information, it was determined that there was a hydroxyl substitution on the benzene ring at the 6-position of the 2-quinolone nucleus structure of the extract, and the extraction products of Examples 1 - 3 were resolved to have the structure shown in Formula I, which was named 4,6-dihydroxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid according to the compound naming rules:

[0099] (1) Instruments and materials

[0100] The substrate 4-MUO 75164 (4-Methylumbelliferyl oleate) and porcine pancreatic lipase (EC3.1.1.3, L3126) were purchased from Sigma. Phosphate buffer PBS was purchased from Life (Thermo Fisher Scientific, China). DMSO and MeOH were both of analytical grade and purchased from Tianjin Fuyu Fine Chemical Co., Ltd.; citric acid and sodium citrate were purchased from Tianjin Fuchen Chemical Reagent Factory. Microplate reader Tecan GENios (Tecan Group Ltd., Switzerland); 96-well plates (Corning Costar, Cambridge, MA, USA).

[0101] (2) Evaluation of lipase inhibitory activity

[0102] The colorimetric method (Ercan et al, 2016) was used to test the inhibition rate of the compound obtained by extracting in Example 1 on porcine pancreatic lipase through a 96-well cell culture plate. The substrate 4-MUO generates fluorescent 4-methylumbelliferone under the action of porcine pancreatic lipase, and the inhibitory activity of the compound on lipase was judged by measuring the fluorescence intensity of each well after the reaction. The test steps are as follows:

[0103] a) Prepare 0.1M citric acid-sodium citrate buffer (pH = 4.2) with ultrapure water; prepare 1mg / mL porcine pancreatic lipase solution, 0.1mM 4-MUO solution, and 0.2M Na 2 CO 3 solution with PBS (pH = 7.4).

[0104] b) Take the prepared 1mg / ml porcine pancreatic lipase solution and heat it in a 90°C water bath for 20 minutes to inactivate the enzyme.

[0105] c) Dilute the extract of Example 1 and the positive control (orlistat) with DMSO in equal ratios to prepare test solution samples with initial concentrations of 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, and 0.3125 mM.

[0106] d) Add samples according to the following reaction system (the DMSO concentration does not exceed 5% of the whole system):

[0107] Sample group: 1 μL sample + 24 μL PBS + 25 μL enzyme;

[0108] Sample blank group: 1 μL sample + 24 μL PBS + 25 μL inactivated enzyme;

[0109] Negative group: 1 μL DMSO + 24 μL PBS + 25 μL enzyme;

[0110] Negative blank group: 1 μL DMSO + 24 μL PBS + 25 μL inactivated enzyme;

[0111] After adding the samples and mixing well, add 50 μL of 0.1 mM reaction substrate 4-MUO to each well. After reacting for 20 min in a constant temperature incubator at 25 °C, add 100 μL of citric acid - sodium citrate solution (0.1 M, pH = 4.2) to each sample well to terminate the reaction. Measure the fluorescence absorbance value of each well with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader. The excitation wavelength is 320 nm, and the detection wavelength is 450 nm. Each sample is repeated at least 3 times, and the inhibition rate is calculated using the following formula:

[0112] Inhibition rate (%) = [1 - (A_sample – A_sample blank) / (A_negative – A_negative blank)]

[0113] × 100;

[0114] Use SPSS 19.0 statistical analysis software to calculate the half-maximal inhibitory concentration IC 50 value.

[0115] (3) Results of pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity:

[0116] The inhibitory results of the compound extracted in Example 1 on porcine pancreatic lipase are shown in Table 2:
