Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of extraction and preparation of natural plant components, and in particular to a method for preparing a hesperidin-copper complex. Background Art

[0002] The research of traditional Chinese medicine is from clinic to laboratory and then to clinic, with more emphasis on inheritance and efficacy. On the basis of inheritance, it continuously develops and innovates, with curing diseases and saving lives as the primary task. Modern Chinese medicine developed from traditional Chinese medicine pays more attention to the development of innovation, new prescriptions, new drugs, new processes, new substances, new ingredients, new structures, new mechanisms of action, and pays more attention to the synchronous development with international standards. The most important signs of the modernization of Chinese medicine are the digitization and repeatability of Chinese medicine. Only in this way can the quality of Chinese medicine be stable and controllable. In the specific research and practice process of the basic research on the effective substances of Chinese medicine, the traditional research theories and concepts should be continued to be inherited. In the process of discovering effective substances, it is necessary to continuously innovate and integrate the theories and methods of Chinese and Western medicine and modern multidisciplinary disciplines, and carry out in-depth research on the basic research of the effective substances of Chinese medicine, so as to create more new situations for truly revealing the basic research of the effective substances of Chinese medicine and natural medicine, and develop a batch of new drugs that can control or cure major difficult diseases in the world today.

[0003] Hesperidin is also known as tangerine peel glycoside, which is 3,5,7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavanone-7-rutinoside (C 28 H 34 O 15 ), melting point 258 ~ 262 ℃ Hesperidin has antioxidant properties, enhances capillary toughness, shortens bleeding time, reduces cholesterol, has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, protects blood vessels, and has certain anti-cancer effects. It can be used as a natural food pigment, natural antioxidant or natural flavor enhancer in food. Hesperidin is widely found in the peel of citrus species of Rutaceae, and the use of discarded peels can not only avoid the huge waste of resources, but also prevent environmental pollution. However, the poor water solubility of hesperidin greatly affects its utilization rate in vivo. It is reported that the water solubility and biological activity of hesperidin metal complexes are significantly improved compared with hesperidin. Hesperidin-Cu (Ⅱ) complex is a new type of drug. The complex has obvious antibacterial and superoxide scavenging activities. After hesperidin is combined with Cu (Ⅱ), its anti-inflammatory and edema effects are enhanced, and it can also promote the propulsion of gastrointestinal smooth muscle in mice. In addition, taking hesperidin or its copper complex can increase the vitamin C content in the adrenal glands of guinea pigs with vitamin C deficiency, and the effect of taking its copper complex is better than that of hesperidin. Hesperidin-Cu (Ⅱ) complex has obvious antibacterial and superoxide scavenging activities, and has therapeutic effects on rheumatic fever, rheumatoid arthritis and other degenerative diseases.

[0004] Existing methods for extracting hesperidin include: thermal extraction, alcohol extraction and acid precipitation, alkali leaching and acid precipitation, etc. Among them, the thermal extraction method has a simple process, but the product has many impurities, low purity, and low yield. The process production cycle is long, the damage to heat-sensitive components is great, the extraction rate is low, and the solvent residue is serious. The recovery rate of alkali leaching and acid precipitation is low, only about 20%. In view of the above shortcomings, an extraction method that can effectively solve the low yield, low extraction rate and poor water solubility of hesperidin is urgently needed in the industry. Summary of the invention

[0005] Since hesperidin has very poor water solubility, it leads to low bioavailability. The present invention aims to solve this problem. It has been found that hesperidin is insoluble in water and CuCl2 is insoluble in pure methanol. Therefore, hesperidin and Cu(II) are made into a complex in 70% methanol at a ratio of 2:1. The relative stability constant lgK of the complex is 8.05, which solves the solubility problem of hesperidin and improves bioavailability. In addition, H + Therefore, in the system where Cu(Ⅱ) catalyzes the decomposition of hydroperoxide to produce free radicals, hesperidin mainly prevents hydroperoxide from decomposing into free radicals by chelating Cu(Ⅱ), and the solubility of hesperidin-copper complex in water is 1800μg / mL, which is about 100 times the solubility of original hesperidin. The biological effect of hesperidin is greatly enhanced.

[0006] Since the preparation of hesperidin is difficult and costly, the present invention makes improvements thereon. The present invention uses a hesperidin-copper complex to achieve the effect of promoting the biological performance and health of livestock and poultry. The preparation process of the hesperidin-copper complex is relatively simple and low in cost, and the equipment and reaction conditions are relatively low. The preparation process of the hesperidin-copper complex: hesperidin and copper are dissolved in 70% methanol in a ratio of 2:1, placed in a 45°C water bath for 45 minutes, and the pH is adjusted to 8.5 with NaOH. Let it stand overnight, then use a rotary evaporator to concentrate the solution, and finally dry it to obtain the complex.

[0007] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] The present invention first discloses a method for preparing a hesperidin-copper complex, comprising:

[0009] (1) dissolving copper chloride dihydrate and hesperidin solid in methanol to obtain a 0.004 mol / L methanol mixed solution of hesperidin and copper chloride; copper chloride dihydrate and hesperidin solid were purchased from Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Yuanye Biotechnology Co., Ltd., respectively;

[0010] (2) adding sodium hydroxide dropwise to a methanol mixed solution of hesperidin and copper chloride to adjust the pH of the mixed solution to alkaline, and then placing the mixed solution in a constant temperature water bath to obtain a methanol solution of hesperidin-copper complex;

[0011] (3) incubating the methanol solution of hesperidin-copper complex at room temperature for 24 hours, and concentrating the solution by evaporation using a rotary evaporator to obtain a concentrated solution;

[0012] (4) heating and drying the concentrated solution in a constant temperature oven to obtain a solid finished product of hesperidin-copper complex.

[0013] Furthermore, in step (1), the methanol concentration is 70%; and the molar ratio of the copper chloride dihydrate to the hesperidin solid is 1:2.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (2), the pH is adjusted to 8.5; the temperature of the constant temperature water bath is 48° C., and the water bath time is 1 hour.

[0015] Furthermore, in step (3), the water bath temperature of the rotary evaporator is 55° C., and the rotation speed is 35 r / min; the evaporation is concentrated to 1 / 5 of the original volume.

[0016] Furthermore, the temperature of the constant temperature oven in step (4) does not exceed 65°C.

[0017] Furthermore, the temperature of the constant temperature oven is 50°C.

[0018] The invention also discloses a hesperidin-copper complex prepared according to any one of the above preparation methods.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] The method for preparing the hesperidin-copper complex of the present invention. Hesperidin is coordinated with Cu(Ⅱ) in an alkaline 70% methanol at a ratio of 2:1, which solves the problem of low solubility of hesperidin in water and insolubility of CuCl2 in pure methanol. The relative stability constant lgK of the obtained complex is 8.05. In an alkaline environment, hesperidin can destroy the -OH in the molecule to form hydrogen bonds or covalent bonds, causing the charge to disappear, reducing intermolecular repulsion, narrowing the intermolecular distance, and increasing the packing density, thereby improving the chelating ability with Cu(Ⅱ). However, if the concentration of the alkali solution is too high, it will destroy the glycosidic bond or the flavonoid nucleus, resulting in the loss of hesperidin, and will also cause Cu 2+ Precipitation, so this method uses NaOH to adjust the solution concentration to 8.5 to avoid the above problems and ensure the chelating ability of hesperidin and Cu (Ⅱ). At the same time, this method is in a water bath at 45°C for 1h, which not only accelerates the reaction rate but also does not affect the coordination ability of hesperidin. The complex solution is concentrated by rotary evaporation and oven dried to remove the toxic methanol solution to obtain hesperidin-copper complex crystals, which have high safety and are expected to become a new type of drug for the prevention and treatment of diseases.

[0021] Through research, it was found that on the one hand, copper complexes themselves have antibacterial and superoxide scavenging activities, and also have therapeutic effects on some diseases. Hesperidin combined with them can greatly improve metabolism, maintain growth performance, etc. On the other hand, H + . In the reaction system where Cu(Ⅱ) catalyzes the decomposition of hydroperoxide into free radicals, hesperidin is added to complex Cu(Ⅱ), and the purity of the hesperidin-copper complex is detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The purity test results show that the purity reaches 83.36%. At the same time, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is used to perform infrared testing on hesperidin-copper. The results show that the strong bands where the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups in hesperidin are located are replaced by new wide bands in the hesperidin-copper complex. The antibacterial activity test using the hesperidin-copper complex shows that the diameter of the antibacterial zone produced by the hesperidin-copper complex on bacteria is 25.2 mm. These facts indicate that hesperidin can form a complex with copper through the carbonyl group and its adjacent hydroxyl group, which can inhibit the decomposition of hydroperoxide and enhance the antioxidant and antibacterial abilities of hesperidin.
