Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of extraction and separation of traditional Chinese medicines, and relates to a new furan compound in purslane and an extraction and separation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Purslane comes from the dried aerial parts of Portulaca oleracea L., a plant of the Portulacaceae family. It is one of the wild plants that are both medicinal and edible as designated by the Ministry of Health of my country. It is also known as long-life vegetable and five-element grass. Purslane was first recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. As a traditional Chinese medicine, it has a history of thousands of years of use. It is widely distributed, rich in resources, and has very strong adaptability and tenacious vitality. The efficacy and indications of Purslane recorded in the herbal books of various dynasties all emphasize its function of "dispersing blood and reducing swelling". It is commonly used to treat "carbuncle" diseases. Many ancient books also record that Purslane has the function of treating dysentery and bloody dysentery. The 2020 edition of the "Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China" lists the dried aerial parts of Portulaca oleracea as a medicine. It tastes sour and cold, and enters the liver and large intestine meridians. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and stopping dysentery. It is used for heat-toxic bloody dysentery, carbuncles, furuncles, eczema, erysipelas, snake and insect bites, bloody stools, hemorrhoidal bleeding, and metrorrhagia.

[0003] Purslane contains a variety of chemical components, mainly including: alkaloids, flavonoids, organic acids, terpenes, coumarins, polysaccharides, amino acids and minerals. The chemical components contained in Purslane are closely related to its diverse pharmacological effects. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Purslane has antioxidant, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-tumor, hypoglycemic, liver-protective and immune-enhancing effects. Purslane has a wide variety of chemical components and diverse pharmacological activities. The development and separation of compounds in Purslane can provide a basis for in-depth research on Purslane. Summary of the invention

[0032] The following examples will help to understand the present invention, but these examples are only for illustrating the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these contents. The operating methods in the examples are all conventional operating methods in the art.

[0033] Example 1.

[0034] The present invention provides a new furan compound, the molecular formula of which is C 19 H 18 O6, named according to the structural formula (Z)-4-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene) dihydrofur an-2(3H)-one, has the chemical structural formula:

[0035]

[0038]

[0039] (Z)-4-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)dihy drofuran-2(3H)-one: yellow oil, easily soluble in methanol. 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR and HR-ESI-TOF-MS signals indicate that the possible molecular formula of the compound is C 19 H 18 O6, unsaturation is 11. HR-ESI-TOF-MS gives m / z [MH] - The quasi-molecular ion peak is 341.1025, and the calculated value (C 19 H 17 O6 - is 341.1025). 1 In the H NMR spectrum, δ Η 7.43 (1H, s, H-6) indicates the presence of olefinic hydrogen in the structure, δ Η 6.91(1H,dd,J=8.28,2.10Hz,H-6″), δ Η 6.86(1H,d,J=1.98Hz,H-2″), δ Η 6.83(1H,d,J=1.86Hz,H-6′), δ Η 6.75(1H,m,H-5′),δ Η 6.73 (1H, m, H-4′) and δ Η 6.71 (1H, m, H-5″) suggests that there are six aromatic hydrogen atoms in the structure, δ Η 4.59 (1H, dt, J = 8.10, 1.86 Hz, H-4) indicates the presence of methine in the structure, δ Η 3.94 / 3.23 (2H, m, H-5) suggests the presence of methylene in the structure, δ Η 3.75 (3H, s, H-7′) and δ Η 3.54 (3H, s, H-7″) suggests the presence of two methoxy groups in the structure. 1 H NMR (600 MHz, MeOD-d4) and 13 The data of C NMR (150 MHz, MeOD-d4) are listed in Table 1. HMBC showed that H-2" and C-4" (δ C 149.06), C-6″(δ C 126.52), H-5″ and C-1″ (δ C 127.79), C-3″(δ C 148.75), H-6″ and C-2″ (δC 113.80) and C-4″, indicating the presence of a trisubstituted benzene ring structure. Since C-3″ is located in the low field region, it is speculated that the C-3″ position is substituted by a hydroxyl group. The HMBC spectrum shows that H-7″ is related to C-4″, and C-4″ is located in the low field region, so it is speculated that the C-4″ position is substituted by a methoxy group. In HMBC, H-4 and C-2 (δ C 175.01), C-3(δ C 131.08), H-5 is related to C-2, and C-5 (δ C 51.09) chemical shift increases, suggesting the presence of a five-membered cyclopentanone ring structure containing heteroatoms in the structure. Combined with the mass spectrometry molecular weight, it is determined that C-5 is connected to O. The HMBC spectrum shows that H-6 is connected to C-2″, C-6″, C-2, C-4 (δ C 44.10), indicating that the trisubstituted benzene ring and the oxygen-containing cyclopentanone are C-6 (δ C 134.57). In the HMBC spectrum, H-4′ and C-2′ (δ C 146.65), C-6′(δ C 111.48), H-5′ and C-1′ (δ C 135.71), C-3′(δ C 149.06), H-6′ is related to C-2′, C-4′ (δ C 120.53), indicating that there is a trisubstituted benzene ring structure in the structure. Since C-2' is located in the low field area, it is speculated that the C-2' position is substituted by a hydroxyl group. The HMBC spectrum shows that H-7' is related to C-3', and C-3' is located in the low field area, so it is speculated that the C-3' position is substituted by a methoxy group. HMBC shows that H-6' is related to C-4, and H-5 is related to C-1', indicating that this trisubstituted benzene ring structure is directly connected to the oxygen-containing cyclopentanone five-membered ring structure. Based on the above information, it can be determined that this new compound has the above structure.

The ODS pretreatment process is to soak in methanol for 24 hours, after loading the column, wash with methanol until there is no turbidity when dripped into water, and then balance with the initial mobile phase.
