Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of cosmetics and pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to the field of herbal medicine technology, and more specifically, to Yunnan Paris saponin G, which has collagen-promoting activity, as well as its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards and the development of medical technology, while meeting basic living needs, delaying aging has become a new pursuit for people. Skin aging is the result of various factors working together, mainly divided into two types: one is endogenous aging, mainly influenced by genetic factors, which is a natural aging process; the other is exogenous aging caused by external environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation, smoking, gravity, and chemicals. Maintaining youthful skin, solving skin problems, and restoring skin health have become new research hotspots. 75% of the skin is composed of collagen, and skin growth, repair, and nutrition all depend on collagen. The two key aspects of healthy skin—moisturizing and anti-wrinkle—are both related to collagen. The effects of anti-aging active substances include scavenging free radicals, increasing cell proliferation rate, slowing down the degradation rate of the extracellular matrix, and replenishing collagen in the skin, restoring and rebuilding the collagen layer. Currently, common methods of supplementing collagen include oral intake of collagen-rich foods, subcutaneous injections, and the use of collagen-rich skincare products, but their effects are limited, the time required is long, they are prone to causing allergies and infections, and the absorption effect is limited. Adding active ingredients that stimulate the skin's own collagen synthesis to skincare products or medications to replenish collagen has become a new focus in anti-aging drug and skincare product research and development. Therefore, finding natural anti-aging products that promote the skin's own collagen secretion has become a new research trend.

[0003] Yunnan Paris saponin G, Figure 1 () is a polyhydroxyspirostane alcohol compound, which was previously isolated from the rhizome of Paris rugosa H. Li & Kurita [Duan Xiaoyan, Yue Meicen, Yang Jun, Bai Xue, Luo Jifeng, Li Heng, Wang Yuehu. Study on chemical constituents and antibacterial activity of rhizome of Paris rugosa. Chinese Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2023, 48 (11), 2981–2988], but there were no reports of its activity in promoting collagen secretion. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide Yunnan Paris saponin G (PFE55), its preparation method, and its application in the preparation of anti-aging drugs or skin care products.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] The preparation method of Yunnan Paris saponin G compound PFE55, as shown in the following structural formula, is described.

[0007]

[0008] The method includes the following steps:

[0009] 1.4 kg of dried Paris polyphylla rhizomes were crushed and extracted with 70% ethanol at 60 °C using ultrasound-assisted extraction. The filtrate was then filtered. The residue was extracted again under the same conditions for a total of 3 extractions. The filtrates were combined and the solvent was recovered under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to obtain a crude extract. The crude extract was then mixed with water to prepare a suspension, which was extracted with n-butanol for a total of 3 extractions. The extracts were combined and the solvent was recovered under reduced pressure to obtain the n-butanol extract.

[0010] The n-butanol extract was separated by normal-phase silica gel column chromatography with a mesh size of 200-300. Gradient elution was performed using EtOAc-MeOH at a ratio of 15:1 to 0:1. After thin-layer chromatography, the extracts were combined into six fractions, namely Fr. 1-Fr. 6.

[0011] Using inverted C 18 Fr. 6 was separated by silica gel column chromatography using a gradient elution of MeOH-H2O at a ratio of 10:90 to 100:0. After detection by thin-layer chromatography, the fractions were combined into three fractions: Fr. 6-1 to Fr. 6-3.

[0012] Fr. 6-1 was separated by normal-phase silica gel column chromatography using 300-400 mesh, with gradient elution using EtOAc-MeOH 6:1-0:1. After thin-layer chromatography detection, the fractions were combined into two parts, namely Fr. 6-1-1 and Fr. 6-1-2.

[0013] Fr. 6-1-1 was separated by MeOH using Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography, and further purified by semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using an Agilent Zorbax RX-C8 column (Ø 9.4 × 250 mm), with MeCN-H2O as the eluent (20:80) and a flow rate of 2 mL / min. After semi-preparative HPLC separation and purification, Yunnan Paris saponin G compound PFE55 was obtained.

The solvent was recovered under reduced pressure to obtain 71.8 g of n-butanol extract.

[0029] The n-butanol extract (66.6 g) was separated by normal-phase silica gel column chromatography (200-300 mesh) using gradient elution with EtOAc-MeOH (15:1-0:1). After thin-layer chromatography, the fractions were combined into six fractions: Fr. 1 (3.2 g), Fr. 2 (3.6 g), Fr. 3 (16.8 g), Fr. 4 (18.3 g), Fr. 5 (10.8 g), and Fr. 6 (3.8 g).

[0030] Using inverted C 18 Fr. 6 was separated by silica gel column chromatography using gradient elution with MeOH-H2O (10:90~100:0). After detection by thin-layer chromatography, the fractions were combined into three fractions: Fr. 6-1 (0.8 g), Fr. 6-2 (0.6 g), and Fr. 6-3 (1.8 g).

[0031] Fr. 6-1 (0.8 g) was separated by normal-phase silica gel column chromatography (300-400 mesh) using gradient elution with EtOAc-MeOH (6:1-0:1). After detection by thin-layer chromatography, the fractions were combined into two parts: Fr. 6-1-1 (0.4 g) and Fr. 6-1-2 (0.3 g).
