Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing an improved Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract. The present invention also relates to a Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract prepared by the improved method for preparing the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract, use of the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract in preparing cosmetics or medicines, and cosmetics or medicines containing the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract. Background Art

[0002] There are 73 species, 2 subspecies and 7 varieties of Rhodiola rosea in the Crassulaceae family recorded in the Flora of China. They are mainly distributed in the high-altitude and pollution-free areas at an altitude of 3500-5000 meters in the northern hemisphere. Among them, Rhodiola rosea is included in the 2020 edition of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia". It has the effects of invigorating qi and activating blood circulation, unblocking meridians and relieving asthma. It can be used to treat symptoms such as qi deficiency and blood stasis, chest pain and heart pain, hemiplegia due to stroke, fatigue and asthma.

[0003] So far, more than 180 compounds have been found in Rhodiola plants, mainly phenoxyethanol, flavonoids, terpenes, lignin aliphatic compounds, etc. The representative chemical components are salidroside and tyrosol, which have strong antioxidant effects and are considered to be the main active ingredients and indicator ingredients in Rhodiola. Polysaccharide is one of the main active ingredients in Rhodiola. In recent years, the research on Rhodiola polysaccharide has gradually increased. Modern pharmacological research shows that Rhodiola polysaccharide has multiple effects such as antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-radiation. It not only has high medicinal value, but also has high application value in cosmetics and health foods.

[0004] However, Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extracts are prone to precipitation during storage and application, which has some adverse effects on their application in cosmetics: first, precipitation may affect the stability and appearance of the product, causing consumers to have doubts about the quality of the product; second, precipitation may also have a negative impact on the uniformity and shelf life of the product, which may limit its use in cosmetic formulations; in addition, the presence of precipitation may affect the biological activity of Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extracts, thereby reducing their efficacy in cosmetics.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple and efficient preparation method that can effectively solve the problem that Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extracts are prone to precipitation during storage and application. At the same time, there is also an urgent need for a Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract that is not prone to precipitation during long-term storage and application, and has reduced cytotoxicity and improved desired cosmetic effects (such as anti-oxidation, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, repair, etc.).

[0125] Effect Example

[0126] Effect Example 1. Determination of polysaccharide content

[0127] Preparation of standard curve: accurately weigh 10mg D(+) anhydrous glucose standard into a 100mL volumetric flask, dissolve and dilute to volume with distilled water. Accurately pipette 0mL, 0.2mL, 0.4mL, 0.6mL, 0.8mL, and 1.0mL of solution into 6 groups of stoppered test tubes, 3 parallel in each group, add distilled water to 2.0mL, and mix. Accurately add 1.0mL of 5% phenol solution respectively, mix, quickly and accurately add 5.0mL of concentrated sulfuric acid, mix, place in a 40℃ water bath for 30min, take out, place in an ice water bath for 5min, take out, measure the absorbance at a wavelength of 490nm by UV-visible spectrophotometry, and draw a standard curve with absorbance as the ordinate and concentration as the abscissa.

[0128] Sample pretreatment: Accurately weigh 10 mg of the extract powder into a 100 mL volumetric flask, fully dissolve it in distilled water and dilute to volume. Determine it according to the above phenol-sulfuric acid method, and calculate the polysaccharide content in the sample solution according to the standard curve.

[0129] The polysaccharide content in the Rhodiola rosea extracts prepared in Examples 1-3 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1-4 was quantitatively determined according to the above method, and the results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0130] Table 1

[0131] Sample No. Polysaccharide content (%) Example 1 63.28 Example 2 65.49 Example 3 66.34 Comparative Example 1 62.42 Comparative Example 2 57.86 Comparative Example 3 56.49 Comparative Example 4 67.82

[0132] It can be seen from the results in Table 1 that Examples 1-3 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1-4 all successfully obtained Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extracts with polysaccharides as the main component.

[0133] Effect Example 2. Yield and Stability

[0134] The prepared Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extracts of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were weighed and prepared into 5% aqueous solutions, and the color and state of the aqueous solutions containing 5% Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extracts were observed. The weight, yield, and color and state of the 5% aqueous solutions of the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extracts prepared by different processes are recorded in Table 2 below.

[0135] Table 2

[0136]

[0137]

[0138] As shown in Table 2, the yield of the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract obtained by the extraction method of the present invention is as high as 8% or more. Compared with the traditional water extraction and alcohol precipitation polysaccharide extraction method, the clarity of the extract in the aqueous solution is greatly improved and the precipitation of the solution after being placed at room temperature for 48 hours is reduced. In contrast to Examples 2, 3 and 4, although the color is improved to a certain extent, multiple alcohol precipitation, flocculation and macroporous resin adsorption purification methods not only fail to improve the clarity of the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract, but also greatly reduce the yield of the extract. Therefore, compared with the method in Comparative Examples 1-4, the extraction method of the present invention significantly improves the yield of the extract while improving the clarity and transparency of the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract and reducing its precipitation.

[0139] Effect Example 3. Evaluation of Antioxidant Capacity

[0140] 3.1 Experimental methods

[0141] The antioxidant capacity of the sample is evaluated by evaluating the sample's ability to scavenge intracellular reactive oxygen free radicals (ROS). The specific operation scheme is as follows:

[0142] Add 100 μL of 1.5 × 10 5 HaCaT cells of 100 μg / mL were incubated in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 overnight. The culture medium was removed, and the samples of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were added to the drug administration group at a concentration of 200 μg / mL, 100 μg / mL, 50 μg / mL, and 20 μg / mL in DMEM containing 10% FBS, and the blank group and model group were added to DMEM containing 10% FBS. The positive control group was added to epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) at a concentration of 20 μg / mL in DMEM containing 10% FBS. After being placed in the incubator for 16 hours, 100 μL of DMEM containing 20 μM DCFH-DA solution and 5 μg / mL Hoechst was added to each well and placed in the incubator for 20 minutes. PBS was rinsed once, and 100 μL of H2O2 (100 μM) prepared in PBS was added to each well except the blank group, and placed in the incubator for 20 minutes. Intracellular ROS can oxidize non-fluorescent DCFH to generate fluorescent DCF, and the intensity of fluorescence is proportional to the level of ROS. Hoechst is used to stain cell nuclei and detect living cells to determine the safe concentration of the sample.

[0143] 3.2 Experimental Results

[0144] The experimental results of Hoechst staining cell nuclei to detect living cells are as follows Figure 1As shown, Examples 1-3 did not show obvious cytotoxic effects at concentrations of 20 μg / mL to 200 μg / mL, while Comparative Examples 1-4 showed obvious cytotoxic effects at 100 μg / mL and 200 μg / mL. Therefore, compared with Comparative Examples 1-4, Examples 1-3 significantly reduced the cytotoxicity and irritation to human keratinocytes, thereby improving the safety of the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract. At safe concentrations of 50 μg / mL and 20 μg / mL, Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were compared to see the inhibitory effects on the production of ROS by HaCaT cells induced by H2O2. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Examples 1-3 showed strong inhibitory effects on the production of ROS by HaCaT cells induced by H2O2 at concentrations of 50 μg / mL and 20 μg / mL. Except for Comparative Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 4, which showed weak inhibitory effects on the production of ROS by HaCaT cells induced by H2O2 at a concentration of 50 μg / mL, Comparative Examples 2 and 3 at concentrations of 50 μg / mL and 20 μg / mL, and Comparative Examples 1 and 4 at a concentration of 20 μg / mL did not show inhibitory effects on ROS. The above results show that, compared with Comparative Examples 1-4, Examples 1-3 significantly improved the inhibitory effect on the production of ROS by HaCaT cells induced by H2O2, while significantly reducing the irritation and toxicity to HaCaT cells.

[0145] Effect Example 4. Evaluation of anti-inflammatory ability

[0146] 4.1 Experimental methods

[0147] The anti-inflammatory ability of the samples was evaluated by evaluating the inhibitory effect of the samples on the IL-6 factor secreted in RAW264.7 cells. The specific operation scheme is as follows:

[0148] Add 100 μL of 2.5×10 5 RAW264.7 cells of 100 μg / mL, 50 μg / mL, 20 μg / mL samples of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 prepared with DMEM containing 10% FBS and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at a final concentration of 1 μg / mL were added to the administration group, DMEM containing 10% FBS was added to the blank group, and LPS at a final concentration of 1 μg / mL was added to the model group, and culture was continued for 24 hours. After the culture was completed, the cell supernatant was collected, and the pro-inflammatory factor IL-6 was detected using the Mouse IL-6 ELISA kit. 100 μL of 10% CCK-8 solution was added to the cells in the well plate, and the cells were placed in a cell culture incubator for 30 minutes. The light absorption value was detected at OD 450nm of the microplate reader, and the effect of the sample to be tested on the cell viability was calculated.

[0149] 4.2 Experimental Results

[0150] According to the RAW264.7 cell viability test results, Figure 3 As shown, Examples 1-3 did not show obvious cytotoxic effects at concentrations of 100 μg / mL to 20 μg / mL, while Comparative Examples 1-4 showed a certain inhibitory effect on cell viability at a concentration of 100 μg / mL. Therefore, safe concentrations of 50 μg / mL and 20 μg / mL were selected to study the inhibitory effect on LPS-induced secretion of inflammatory factor IL-6 by RAW264.7 cells. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 The results show that, compared with comparative examples 1-4, examples 1-3 have a stronger inhibitory effect on LPS-induced IL-6 secretion by RAW264.7 cells at concentrations of 50 μg / mL and 20 μg / mL, and have a certain dose-effect relationship, indicating that the stimulating effect of the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract of examples 1-3 on RAW264.7 cells is significantly lower than that of the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract obtained in comparative examples 1-4, and has a stronger anti-inflammatory effect.

[0151] Effect Example 5. Evaluation of anti-aging ability

[0152] 5.1 Experimental Methods

[0153] The anti-aging ability of the samples was evaluated based on the expression level of type III collagen gene in the photoaging model of HFF-1 cells induced by UVA. The specific operation plan is as follows:

[0154] HFF-1 cells were cultured at 1×10 5 The cells were seeded into 24-well plates at a density of 100 cells / mL. After the cells adhered to the plate the next day, 8 J / cm 2 UVA irradiation treatment, the drug-treated group was prepared with DMEM complete medium at a concentration of 50 μg / mL of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4, the blank control group was not subjected to UVA irradiation treatment, and the model control group was only irradiated without drug administration. After continuous culture for 16 hours, the cells were lysed and the total cell RNA was collected. RNA was extracted and purified using the SteadyPure Universal RNA Extraction Kit, and RT-qPCR reaction was performed after reverse transcription to obtain cDNA to detect type III collagen gene expression.

[0155] 5.2 Experimental Results

[0156] The effects of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 on the UVA-induced HFF-1 cell photoaging model were as follows: Figure 5 As shown by Figure 5The results show that UVA irradiation can significantly inhibit the expression of type III collagen gene in HFF-1 fibroblasts. Compared with the model group, the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract of Examples 1-3 at a concentration of 50 μg / mL can significantly improve the decrease in type III collagen gene expression caused by UVA, indicating that the polysaccharide extract of Examples 1-3 has a significantly stronger promoting effect on type III collagen gene expression than that of Comparative Examples 1-4, indicating that the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract obtained by the process of Examples 1-3 has significant advantages in anti-photoaging and anti-aging.

[0157] Effect Example 6. Evaluation of Anti-photodamage and Skin Repair Ability

[0158] 6.1 Experimental methods

[0159] CLDN1 (Claudin-1) is a transmembrane protein that makes up the tight junctions of the epidermis. Tight junctions are composed of adjacent cell membranes and play an important role in maintaining the permeability barrier and cell polarity. They are considered to be the main control factor of the skin barrier. Therefore, CLDN1 is related to regulating the permeability of the skin barrier structure and helps maintain normal skin barrier function.

[0160] The ability of the samples to resist light damage and repair skin was evaluated based on the CLDN1 gene expression level of HaCaT cells induced by UVA. The specific operation plan is as follows:

[0161] HaCaT cells were cultured at 2×10 5 The cells were seeded into 24-well plates at a density of 100 cells / mL. After the cells adhered to the wall the next day, 0.2 J / cm 2 UVA irradiation treatment, the drug administration group was prepared with DMEM complete medium at a concentration of 50 μg / mL Example 1-3 and Comparative Example 1-4, the blank control group was not subjected to UVA irradiation treatment, and the model control group was only irradiated without drug administration. After continuous culture for 24 hours, the cells were lysed and the total cell RNA was collected. RNA was extracted and purified using RNA Easy Fast Tissue / Cell Kit, and RT-qPCR reaction was performed after reverse transcription to detect CLDN1 gene expression.

[0162] 6.2 Experimental Results

[0163] The effects of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 on the UVA-induced HaCaT cell model are shown in the following table. Figure 6 As shown by Figure 6The results show that UVA irradiation can significantly inhibit the expression of CLDN1 gene in HaCaT cells. Compared with the model group, the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract of Examples 1-3 at a concentration of 50 μg / mL can significantly improve the decrease in the CLDN1 gene level in HaCaT cells caused by UVA, and its promoting effect on CLDN1 gene expression is significantly better than the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract obtained in Comparative Examples 1-4, indicating that the Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide extract obtained by the process of Examples 1-3 has significant advantages in the direction of anti-photodamage and repair, and the present invention is the first to discover the advantages of Rhodiola rosea polysaccharide in the direction of skin repair.
