Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine extraction technology, and in particular to a method for extracting galloylpyranoside from Loropetalum chinense. Background Technology

[0002] Loropetalum chinense, an evergreen shrub or small tree belonging to the genus Loropetalum in the family Hamamelidaceae, has roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits that can all be used medicinally. It has long been used to treat traumatic bleeding and skin ulcers, exhibiting significant hemostatic, tissue-regenerating, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects. The branches and leaves of Loropetalum chinense contain various secondary metabolites with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and healing-promoting pharmacological effects. Among them, 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenol-1-O-β-D-(6'-O-galloyl)-glucopyranoside (i.e., galloylglucopyranoside) is a phenolic acid substance with excellent antibacterial, antioxidant, and cell proliferation-promoting effects. However, this substance accounts for approximately 0.002% of Loropetalum chinense, making its isolation and purification difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for extracting galloylpyranoside from Loropetalum chinense. The process is simple, easy to operate, green, non-toxic, efficient, and low-cost, making it suitable for large-scale production.

[0005]

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for extracting galloylpyranoside from Loropetalum chinense includes the following steps:

[0008] Step S1: Dry the branches and leaves of Loropetalum chinense in the shade, crush them, and sieve them to obtain powder with a particle size of 0.1-2.5 mm; extract the powder with a solvent using ultrasonic extraction, and concentrate the extract under reduced pressure to obtain Loropetalum chinense extract.

[0009] Step S2: Disperse the Loropetalum chinense extract obtained in step S1 with distilled water, and extract it using the first solvent. The mass ratio of the extract to the first solvent is 1:10 to 30. Concentrate the residue after extraction under reduced pressure to obtain the Loropetalum chinense extract residue.

[0010] Step S3: Add the extract residue of Loropetalum chinense obtained in step S2 to ethyl acetate for dissolution. The ratio of extract residue to ethyl acetate is 1:10-20 kg / L. Stir to dissolve completely, let stand for 30-100 min, pour the supernatant into another container, and repeat the above stirring and standing operation 3-5 times. Finally, concentrate the supernatant under reduced pressure to dryness.

[0011] Step S4, Macroporous Resin Chromatographic Separation: The packing material used is D101. The dried substance obtained in step S3 is dissolved in 10-20% ethanol (v / v). The ratio of dried substance to ethanol is 10-5:1 g / mL. The sample is loaded using 20-100% ethanol (v / v) as the mobile phase. 40% ethanol eluent is collected and concentrated to a specific gravity of 2.0-3.0 to obtain the Loropetalum chinense sample solution.

[0012] Step S5, High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography Separation: Connect the first and second chromatographic columns in series. The first column uses MCI packing material, and the second column uses C18 packing material. Equilibrate the columns with acetonitrile or methanol at a volume concentration of 5–30%. Use a UV detector with a wavelength of 200–400 nm. After the baseline stabilizes, load the sample solution from Step S4 onto the pre-packed column. Use acetonitrile or methanol at a volume concentration of 30–70% as the mobile phase. Collect the eluent based on UV detection at a wavelength of 250–300 nm. Collect the eluent, concentrate under reduced pressure, filter, and dry to obtain high-purity galloylpyranoside.

[0013] Preferably, the solvent in step S1 is ethanol or methanol with a volume concentration of 95%.

[0014] Preferably, the ultrasonic extraction conditions in step S1 are as follows: the ratio of powder to solvent is 1:5 to 10 kg / L, the extraction temperature is 40 to 80°C, the ultrasonic power is 300 to 600 W, the extraction time is 30 to 90 min, and the number of extractions is 1 to 4.

[0015] More preferably, the ultrasonic extraction conditions in step S1 are: the ratio of powder to solvent is 1:5 to 7 kg / L, the extraction temperature is 40 to 60°C, the ultrasonic power is 400 to 600 W, the extraction time is 30 to 60 min, and the number of extractions is 2 to 4.

[0016] Preferably, the first solvent mentioned in step S2 is petroleum ether, n-hexane, dichloromethane, or chloroform;

[0017] Preferably, the chromatographic column in step S4 has a packing particle size of 0.3–1.25 mm, a column length of 900–1000 mm, and an inner diameter of 40–60 mm.

[0018] Preferably, in step S5, the first chromatographic column has a packing particle size of 10-100 μm, a column length of 310-620 mm, and an inner diameter of 15-100 mm; the second chromatographic column has a packing particle size of 5-50 μm, a column length of 310-620 mm, and an inner diameter of 15-100 mm.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This invention discloses a method for extracting 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenol-1-O-β-D-(6'-O-galloyl)-glucopyranoside from Loropetalum chinense. The method is flexible and simple to operate, with mild reaction and processing conditions. Ultrasonic extraction technology offers advantages such as energy saving, environmental friendliness, and high efficiency. The first solvent extraction effectively removes pigments and some gum-like substances, while the second solvent (ethyl acetate) further extracts and removes viscous pectin-like substances from the extract, facilitating subsequent sample loading. The use of macroporous resin not only removes pigments from the sample but also effectively removes some viscous insoluble substances, better protecting the subsequent column chromatography packing material and facilitating reuse. The method of tandem first and second chromatographic columns achieves effective separation of galloyl glucopyranoside. The entire process uses a single solvent system, allowing for solvent recovery and reuse, avoiding solvent waste and environmental pollution. The obtained galloyl glucopyranoside has high purity, and the preparation process does not use toxic or harmful solvents, making it a green preparation suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0027] Step S1: The raw material, Loropetalum chinense branches and leaves, is air-dried, pulverized, and sieved to obtain a powder of 0.1–2.5 mm. The powder is then subjected to ultrasonic extraction with 95% ethanol as the solvent. The extract is concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain Loropetalum chinense extract. The ultrasonic extraction conditions are as follows: the ratio of powder to solvent is 1:5 kg / L, the extraction temperature is 60℃, the ultrasonic power is 500 W, the extraction time is 45 min, and the number of extractions is 3.

[0028] Step S2: Disperse the Loropetalum chinense extract obtained in step S1 with distilled water, and extract it with petroleum ether. The mass ratio of extract to petroleum ether is 1:14. Concentrate the residue after extraction under reduced pressure to obtain the Loropetalum chinense extract residue.

[0029] Step S3: Add the extract residue of Loropetalum chinense obtained in step S2 to ethyl acetate for dissolution. The ratio of extract residue to ethyl acetate is 1:15 kg / L. Stir to dissolve completely, let stand for 50 min, pour the supernatant into another container, and repeat the above stirring and standing operation 4 times. Finally, concentrate the supernatant under reduced pressure to dryness.

[0030] Step S4, Macroporous Resin Chromatographic Separation: The packing material used is D101. The dried product obtained in step S3 is dissolved in 10% ethanol (v / v), with a solid-liquid ratio of 5:1 g / mL. For sample loading, 20% ethanol (v / v) is used as the mobile phase for elution for 3.5 h to remove low-polarity impurities. Then, 40% ethanol (v / v) is used as the mobile phase for elution for 4.5 h. The 40% ethanol eluent is collected and concentrated to a specific gravity of 2.5 to obtain the Loropetalum chinense sample solution. The chromatographic column has a packing material particle size of 0.3–1.25 mm, a column length of 950 mm, and an inner diameter of 50 mm.

[0031] Step S5, Medium- and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Separation: Connect the first and second chromatographic columns in series. The first column uses MCI packing material with a particle size of 30 μm, a column length of 310 mm, and an inner diameter of 30 mm. The second column uses C18 packing material with a particle size of 10 μm, a column length of 380 mm, and an inner diameter of 35 mm. Equilibrate the column with 5% methanol (v / v). Use a UV detector at 275 nm. After baseline stabilization, load the sample solution from step S4 onto the pre-packed column at a volume of 150 mL. The temperature was room temperature, and 35% methanol (v / v) was used as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 20 mL / min. The eluent was collected by UV detection at a wavelength of 250 nm. The eluent containing the target analyte was collected, concentrated under reduced pressure, filtered, and dried to obtain high-purity 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenol-1-O-β-D-(6'-O-galloyl)-glucopyranoside. HPLC analysis showed a purity of 98.9% and a yield of 1.3%. The pressure of the high-pressure liquid chromatography separation was less than 0.8 MPa.

[0032] The packing materials used in the examples were all commercially available products.
