Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sodium hyaluronate synthesis, and in particular to a synthesis method and application of acetylated sodium hyaluronate. Background Art

[0002] Acetylated sodium hyaluronate (AcHA) is obtained by acetylation of the natural moisturizing factor sodium hyaluronate (HA). Due to the introduction of a large number of acetyl groups, the lipophilicity of acetylated hyaluronate is greatly improved, so it is more efficient in moisturizing, repairing the skin barrier and increasing skin elasticity than traditional sodium hyaluronate. It can play a biologically active role in double moisturizing, repairing the keratin barrier, and improving skin elasticity, thereby improving dry and rough skin conditions, making the skin soft and elastic, and then promoting the proliferation of epidermal cells, deeply repairing damaged epidermal cells, enhancing the barrier function of the epidermal stratum corneum, and improving the skin's natural resistance.

[0003] Among them, from the structure of AcHA, there are four hydroxyl hydrogens on each disaccharide unit that can be replaced by acetyl groups, so the degree of substitution for a disaccharide structure ranges from 0 to 4, and the degree of substitution will affect the hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of HA. The purpose of acetylation modification is to improve the lipophilicity while maintaining the hydrophilicity of HA, so the degree of substitution that achieves a balance between the hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of HA is the most suitable.

[0004] Among the preparation methods of acetylated sodium hyaluronate in the prior art, one is to use acetic acid / acetic anhydride as a solvent and to prepare it by catalysis of concentrated sulfuric acid. Using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst is highly dangerous. Another is to use hyaluronate and acetyl chloride to react in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and the product can be separated and purified and then salted with alkali to obtain the acetylated sodium hyaluronate product. This method does not use concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst, but acetyl chloride participates in the reaction. Acetyl chloride is highly corrosive and is easy to wear out equipment during process production. And when the pH needs to be adjusted during post-process treatment, the ester group is easily hydrolyzed in an alkaline environment, resulting in a decrease in the degree of acetyl substitution, and peroxide decolorization also brings great risks. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application provides a synthesis method and application of acetylated sodium hyaluronate, which increases the degree of esterification substitution by a step-by-step method, reduces the use of anhydrous ethanol and the hydrolysis of ester groups under high pH in post-treatment, and reduces the use of concentrated sulfuric acid or acetyl chloride, making the reaction safe during quenching; at the same time, the acetylated sodium hyaluronate provided by the present application has a high degree of acetylation, and can be more efficient in moisturizing than traditional sodium hyaluronate in application, and has better effects in repairing the skin barrier and increasing skin elasticity.

[0048] Comparative Example

[0049] Comparative Example 1

[0050] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that, in the synthesis process of the acetylated sodium hyaluronate product, acetic acid / acetic anhydride is used as a solvent, and then concentrated sulfuric acid is used as a catalytic step to obtain the product.

[0051] Comparative Example 2

[0052] The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 2 is that hyaluronate and acetyl chloride are reacted in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and the product is separated and purified and then salted with alkali to prepare acetylated sodium hyaluronate.

[0053] Performance testing

[0054] In order to further study the effects of various components and preparation parameters on acetylated sodium hyaluronate, the present application further carried out the following examples for verification.

[0055] 1. Acetylation substitution degree detection: This application uses liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to detect the acetylation site, and the following acetylation substitution degree is obtained by calculation.

[0056] 2. Viscosity test of acetylated sodium hyaluronate: This application is determined according to the general rules in the "Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China" in the YY / T1571-2017 standard, and an Ubbelohde capillary viscometer is used. The temperature field of the automatic viscometer is set to 25.00°C and stabilized, then 12-15 ml of 0.2 mol / L sodium chloride is added, and then the sodium hyaluronate solution samples in the examples and comparative examples are added, and the specific formula in the software is started to calculate the viscosity.

[0057] 3. Yield calculation: The yield in this application is based on the amount of target product (acetylated sodium hyaluronate) produced / theoretical amount of target product produced × 100% = amount of raw materials used to produce the target product / amount of raw materials fed × 100%, and is calculated to obtain the following table.

[0058] Table 2, Performance test table of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0059] Test batch <![CDATA[Degree of acetylation / ω DS > Intrinsic viscosity dl / g Yield % Example 1 2.6 0.78 90 Example 2 2.8 0.81 89 Example 3 2.8 0.90 92 Comparative Example 1 2.7 0.72 84 Comparative Example 2 2.1 0.55 88

[0060] According to the data analysis of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the two-step method of the present application is compared with the method of using acetic acid / acetic anhydride as solvent and concentrated sulfuric acid as one-step catalysis in Comparative Example 1. The difference in the acetylation substitution degree between the two is not large, so the difference in the value of the intrinsic viscosity is not large, but the yield is not as good as that of Example 1. This is because the use of concentrated sulfuric acid or acetyl chloride is reduced, which can avoid reaction quenching and reduce the yield of acetylated sodium hyaluronate during the operation.

[0061] In addition, the analysis between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 shows that the two-step method of the present application avoids the use of strong alkaline reagents during post-treatment, can avoid the hydrolysis of the ester group, and retains the degree of substitution of the acetyl group to the maximum extent. Therefore, the degree of substitution of Example 1 is greater than that of Comparative Example 2, and the value of its intrinsic viscosity is also greater than that of Comparative Example 2. At the same time, in the comparison of the yields of the two, the two-step method can make the reaction more complete, so the yield can be improved.

[0062] In addition, refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present application performs infrared spectroscopy analysis on Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 2. Among them, Figure 1-3 is the infrared spectrum of acetylated sodium hyaluronate in Example 1-3; Figure 4It is the infrared spectrum of acetylated sodium hyaluronate in Comparative Example 2. It can be seen from the infrared spectrum of sodium hyaluronate that there is a strong absorption near 3400 wavenumbers, which is the hydroxyl absorption peak; the acetylated sodium hyaluronate obtained in Examples 1-3 has only weak or almost no absorption at this wavenumber, which indicates that there is almost no hydroxyl group; while Comparative Example 2 still has absorption at this wave peak, and its acetylation substitution is slightly lower than that in Example 1. In addition, the infrared spectra of the acetylated sodium hyaluronate in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 have a strong absorption peak near 1740 wavenumbers, which is the carbonyl absorption peak of the acetyl group. Through the analysis between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be obtained that the synthesis method of Example 1 of the present application can improve the acetylation degree of acetylated sodium hyaluronate.

[0063] In addition, according to the analysis between Example 1 and Example 3, it can be obtained through the performance test data analysis that Example 3 is the optimal example, wherein the acetylation substitution degree of Example 3 is greater than that of Example 1-2, and at the same time, its intrinsic viscosity and yield are also greater than those of Example 1-2.

[0064] Embodiment 4-6

[0065] The difference between Example 4-6 and Example 3 is that in step S1, during the preparation of reaction solution A, the temperature and time of adding sodium hyaluronate to acetic acid are different; and the temperature and time of the reaction after adding acetic anhydride are different, and the data are organized into the following table.

[0066] Table 3. Reaction conditions in Examples 3-6

[0067]

[0068] Performance testing

[0069] In order to further study the effects of various components and preparation parameters on acetylated sodium hyaluronate, the present application further carried out the same example verification as above.

[0070] Table 4. Performance test table of Examples 3-6

[0071] Test batch <![CDATA[Degree of acetylation / ω DS > Intrinsic viscosity dl / g Yield % Example 3 2.8 0.90 92 Example 4 2.7 0.85 90 Example 5 2.9 0.91 93 Example 6 2.7 0.90 91

[0072] According to the data analysis of Examples 3-6, the reaction temperature and reaction time of S1 in the one-step esterification reaction process will affect the acetylation substitution degree and yield of acetylated sodium hyaluronate. The present application has obtained through experiments that Example 5 is the optimal embodiment, wherein the reaction conditions in step S1 are to react sodium hyaluronate and acetic acid at a temperature of 60°C for 2 hours, and after cooling it to 0°C, acetic anhydride is added dropwise, and then kept at 60°C for 12 hours.

[0073] Embodiment 7-8

[0074] The difference between Example 7-8 and Example 5 is that in the two-step esterification process of S3, the ratio of acetylated hyaluronic acid to the mixed solution (DMF / acetic acid / acetic anhydride) is different.

[0075] Examples 9-10

[0076] The difference between Examples 9-10 and Example 5 is that in the two-step esterification process of S3, the reaction temperature and reaction time of the acetylated hyaluronic acid and the mixed solution (DMF / acetic acid / acetic anhydride) are different.

[0078]

[0079] Performance testing

[0080] In order to further study the effects of various components and preparation parameters on acetylated sodium hyaluronate, the present application further carried out the same example verification as above.

[0081] Table 6, Performance test table of Examples 5 and 7-10

[0082] Test batch <![CDATA[Degree of acetylation / ω DS > Intrinsic viscosity dl / g Yield % Example 5 2.9 0.91 93 Example 7 2.9 0.92 94 Example 8 2.8 0.91 93 Example 9 2.7 0.90 92 Example 10 2.7 0.89 93

[0083] According to the data analysis of Example 5 and Examples 7-10, when the ratio of acetylated hyaluronic acid to the mixed solution (DMF / acetic acid / acetic anhydride) is 1:10, it has a higher degree of acetylation substitution and yield. And the mixed solution satisfies the ratio of DMF: acetic acid: acetic anhydride of 20:1:0.5. In addition, by analyzing Implementation 9-10 and Example 5, during the two-step esterification reaction, as the reaction temperature and reaction time advance, by-products will be produced, which will reduce the degree of acetylation and the yield will also decrease accordingly.

[0084] In summary, among embodiments 1-10, embodiment 7 is the best embodiment.

[0085] The present application also provides an application of acetylated sodium hyaluronate. The acetylated sodium hyaluronate in the present application is suitable for use in facial masks and essence products. Since the acetylated sodium hyaluronate in the present application has a higher degree of acetylation, it can be used more efficiently than traditional sodium hyaluronate in terms of moisturizing, repairing the skin barrier and increasing skin elasticity.

[0086] And due to its high degree of acetylation, it can be compounded with inorganic oxygen-containing salt oligomer materials. The inorganic oxygen-containing salt oligomer materials in the present application include one or more of calcium phosphate oligomers and calcium carbonate oligomers. Specifically, the present application compounds calcium phosphate oligomers with acetylated sodium hyaluronate through polyvinyl alcohol and sodium alginate to form an organic-inorganic hybrid material with a continuous structure and high mechanical properties.

[0087] Due to the small size of oligomers (about 1nm) and high specific surface area, the contact area between inorganic units and organic matrices can be increased; and due to the high degree of acetylation on acetylated sodium hyaluronate, the defects of the organic-inorganic composite interface are reduced, which can improve the loading effect of the essence on the mask. More acetylated sodium hyaluronate per unit area of ​​the mask can help to exert biologically active functions such as moisturizing effect, repairing keratin barrier, and improving skin elasticity; thereby improving dry and rough skin, making the skin soft and elastic, and then promoting epidermal cell proliferation, deeply repairing damaged epidermal cells, enhancing the barrier function of the epidermal stratum corneum, and improving the skin's natural resistance.
