Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of podophyllotoxin, and more particularly to a method for reducing the concentration of organic solvents and the risk of flammability and explosion during the drying process of podophyllotoxin. Background Art

[0002] Podophyllotoxin is a substance isolated from podophyllum plants with anticancer and insecticidal activity. It is widely used in the treatment of malignant tumors, skin proliferative diseases and the development of botanical insecticides. Foreign researchers have extracted and isolated podophyllotoxin from Podophyllum peltata in America and Podophyllum in India. In China, Podophyllum peltata, Podophyllum peltata and Podophyllum occidentalis are commonly used plant resources for extracting podophyllotoxin.

[0003] At present, some existing extraction and separation processes of podophyllotoxin include CO2 supercritical extraction, methanol reflux-water-chloroform purification and solvent crystallization-chromatography. However, some existing podophyllotoxins are directly heated up rapidly when drying. Since podophyllotoxin contains some organic solvents, when podophyllotoxin is heated up rapidly, the organic solvents are easily vaporized quickly, causing the organic solvent to become flammable and explosive. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for reducing the organic solvent concentration and the flammability and explosion risk during the drying process of podophyllotoxin.

Extract samples: Take different types of powder samples, put them into containers with the sample names, add the same amount of ethanol into each sample container, shake and extract in a 40°C water bath for 30 minutes, centrifuge for 10 minutes, and take the supernatant for later use; S3, the combined extracts were concentrated to obtain an extract, and the extract was ultrasonically extracted twice with 3-4 times the amount of ethyl acetate, each extraction time was 1.5 hours, and the filtrate was concentrated to 1 / 6 of the original volume, allowed to stand for crystallization, and filtered to obtain a crude product; S4, dissolve the above crude product in 300 ml of anhydrous methanol, add 3 g of activated carbon, reflux for 1 h, filter, add 2 L of chloroform to the filtrate, centrifuge, concentrate the organic layer, and allow to crystallize; S5, add 200-350ml of anhydrous methanol to the crystals for reflux dissolution, concentrate, cool and crystallize, repeat 3 times, filter out the crystals, and dry to obtain podophyllotoxin; S6. Detection: prepare a TCL plate, evenly apply a silica gel layer on the TCL plate, take an appropriate amount of supernatant, and evenly sprinkle it on the TCL plate with a capillary; S7, Development: Place the TCL plate vertically in the chromatographic tank, add an appropriate amount of mobile phase solution into the tank until the liquid level exceeds the height of the silica gel layer; S8. Seal the chromatographic tank: Seal with appropriate materials to prevent solvent volatilization; S9. Carry out chromatography at a suitable temperature, so that the mobile phase gradually rises and penetrates into the silica gel layer. At a suitable position, observe the spot on the chromatographic plate and take it out quickly; S10. Determination: Soak the chromatographic plate in a color developer to develop spots, and determine the content of podophyllotoxin by measuring the size and color of the spots.
