[0055] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] (I) Preparation of lycoctine-type diterpenoid alkaloids

[0057] Example 1

[0058] A method for preparing a lycoctine-type diterpenoid alkaloid compound includes the following steps:

[0059] S1. Take dried Aconitum carmichaelii (about 200.5 kg), use 95% ethanol aqueous solution (10 times the weight of Aconitum carmichaelii) as solvent for reflux extraction three times, each extraction for 2 hours, combine the extracts and concentrate to obtain extract (about 6 kg).

[0060] S2. Add the extract to 10 times its weight of 0.5% dilute hydrochloric acid (60L) to fully dissolve and suspend it. Filter to remove impurities. Extract the filtered acidic aqueous solution three times with 1.5 times its volume of dichloromethane to obtain acidified dichloromethane extract A (about 2.5kg, discarded) and acidic aqueous solution A (about 1.2kg).

[0061] The pH of the acidic aqueous solution A was adjusted to 9 with sodium hydroxide, and then extracted with dichloromethane to obtain extract B, i.e., dichloromethane extract (about 500g).

Extract B is subjected to gradient elution using dichloromethane-methanol silica gel column chromatography to obtain fraction C; when identified by silica gel thin-layer chromatography, the Rf value corresponding to fraction C is 0.72-0.75. The mobile phase for silica gel column chromatography is dichloromethane-methanol with a volume ratio of (93:7)-(91:9), preferably 92:8.

[0065] It should be noted that during gradient elution, dichloromethane-methanol at volume ratios of (93:7) to (91:9) can elute fraction C. Fraction C is identified by silica gel thin-layer chromatography with an Rf value of 0.72-0.75. The dichloromethane-methanol volume ratio of 92:8 exhibits the highest elution efficiency. The principle behind the "preferred volume ratio" described in the following gradient elution processes is the same.

[0066] The specific procedure included: Extract B was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, eluted with a dichloromethane-methanol gradient at volume ratios of 100:0, 95:5, 92:8, 90:10, 85:15, 75:25, 65:35, 50:50, and 0:100, respectively, to obtain fractions 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70, 71-80, and 81-90, for a total of 90 fractions. These fractions were then identified using silica gel thin-layer chromatography, and the Rf values ​​were observed based on the brick-red spots revealed by potassium bismuth iodide reagent, ranging from 0.82 to 0.86 (fractions). Fractions 1-10, 0.76-0.80 (fractions 11-20), 0.72-0.75 (fractions 21-30), 0.65-0.70 (fractions 31-40), 0.56-0.62 (fractions 41-50), 0.50-0.54 (fractions 51-60), 0.42-0.48 (fractions 61-70), 0.30-0.38 (fractions 71-80), and 0.25-0.28 (fractions 81-90) were combined to obtain fractions A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I; fractions 21-30 were combined to obtain fraction C.

Preferably, in step S32, the volume ratio of methanol-water in the mobile phase is 40:60; the volume percentage of formic acid in the mobile phase is 0.05%.

[0069] Specifically, fraction C was subjected to ODS column chromatography using a methanol-water gradient elution (containing 0.05% formic acid, v / v) at ratios of 20:80, 30:70, 40:60, 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, 80:20, 90:10, and 100:0, yielding fractions 1-5, 6-15, 16-25, 26-35, 36-45, 46-50, 51-55, 56-60, and 61-68, for a total of 68 fractions. These fractions were then analyzed using silica gel thin-layer chromatography. Identification was performed using potassium bismuth iodide reagent. Based on the brick-red spots observed, the Rf values ​​were 0.35-0.44 (fractions 1-5), 0.45-0.49 (fractions 6-15), 0.50-0.60 (fractions 16-25), 0.61-0.69 (fractions 26-35), 0.70-0.74 (fractions 36-55), 0.75-0.79 (fractions 56-60), and 0.80-0.89 (fractions 61-68). Similar fractions were combined into seven fractions, C1 to C7. Fractions 16-25 were combined to obtain fraction C3.

Preferably, it is 0:100.

[0072] The specific procedure included: fraction C3 was subjected to dextran gel LH-20 column chromatography, using a methanol-water gradient elution with volume ratios of 0:100, 30:70, 70:30, and 100:0, collecting fractions 1-6, 7-14, 15-20, and 21-29 sequentially, for a total of 29 fractions. These fractions were then identified using silica gel thin-layer chromatography. Based on the brick-red spots observed with potassium bismuth iodide reagent, the Rf values ​​were 0.30-0.39 (fractions 1-6), 0.40-0.54 (fractions 7-14), 0.55-0.61 (fractions 15-20), and 0.62-0.85 (fractions 21-29), respectively. Similar fractions were combined to obtain four fractions, M1 to M4. Fractions 1-6 were combined to obtain fraction M1.

[0073] Based on the brick-red spots observed by potassium bismuth iodide reagent and the characteristic ultraviolet absorption (λ) of diterpenoid alkaloids observed by HPLC analysis. max =260nm) Select fraction M1 for the next separation step.

[0074] S34. Fraction M1 is subjected to RP-HPLC reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with acetonitrile-water as the mobile phase to obtain lycoctine-type diterpenoid alkaloids with the structural formula shown in formula (1). The retention time of the lycoctine-type diterpenoid alkaloids is 10-15 min. The mobile phase is acetonitrile-water with a volume ratio of (4:96)-(10:90); and the mobile phase also contains 0.01-0.5% trifluoroacetic acid by volume; more preferably, the volume percentage of trifluoroacetic acid is 0.1%.

[0075] Preferably, HPLC is used with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (volume ratio 5:95, containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid by volume) as the mobile phase, utilizing C 18 The chromatographic column was prepared in fraction M1 to obtain lycoctine-type C 20 Diterpenoid alkaloid compound 1 (compound Carmaloidline E)(t) R =12min, purity is 99%).
