Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular to a method for preparing a nanocomposite for improving the stability of anthocyanins. Background Art

[0002] The poor stability and low bioavailability of anthocyanins are technical problems that need to be solved urgently. The applicant prepared a nanocomposite of anthocyanins, with patent application number 2024118893387, which greatly improved the stability of anthocyanins; however, it is still necessary to further improve its stability and bioavailability. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a nanocomposite that improves the stability of anthocyanins in view of the shortcomings of the prior art. In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0004] The following technical solutions are adopted:

[0005] The steps include: (1) dissolving anthocyanidin in water to obtain anthocyanidin solution;

[0006] (2) dissolving chitosan oligosaccharide in water to obtain a chitosan oligosaccharide solution;

[0007] (3) the anthocyanin solution and the chitosan oligosaccharide solution are uniformly mixed, and a polyphosphate solution is added to obtain a mixed solution;

[0008] (4) centrifuging the mixed solution to obtain a precipitate;

[0009] (5) The precipitate is freeze-dried in vacuum to obtain the nanocomposite.

[0010] Further, (1) anthocyanidin is dissolved in distilled water to obtain an anthocyanidin solution with a concentration of 5-30 mg / mL.

[0011] Further, (2) dissolving chitosan oligosaccharide in distilled water to obtain a chitosan oligosaccharide solution with a concentration of 5-30 mg / mL.

[0012] Furthermore, a polyphosphate solution is slowly added; and / or the polyphosphate is sodium tripolyphosphate.

[0013] Furthermore, the anthocyanin solution is added to the chitosan oligosaccharide solution, mixed evenly, and the stirring speed is 120-800 rpm, and 1-24 mL of 0.01-5 mg / mL sodium tripolyphosphate solution is added dropwise to obtain a mixed solution;

[0014] Furthermore, the degree of polymerization of chitosan oligosaccharide is 2-20. The molecular weight of chitosan oligosaccharide is less than 1000Da. 。

[0015] Furthermore, step (3) is carried out at room temperature in the dark for 0.5-24 hours.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (4), the mixed solution is centrifuged at 6000-20000 rpm for 10-30 minutes, and then water is added and the centrifugation is repeated several times. For example, in step (4), the mixed solution is centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10-30 minutes, and then double distilled water is added and the centrifugation is repeated 3 times.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention relative to the prior art are:

[0018] The stability of the chitosan oligosaccharide-anthocyanidin nanocomposite prepared by the method of the present invention is more significantly improved. The nanoscale complex can effectively prevent the degradation of anthocyanidins in the environment, prolong its shelf life, and make its performance in various applications more stable and reliable. The addition of polyphosphate solution is to allow the positively charged chitosan oligosaccharide and the negatively charged polyphosphate ions to fully and evenly attract each other through electrostatic action, and an ionic cross-linking reaction occurs, thereby forming a stable three-dimensional network structure. LNP (i.e., the complex obtained in this application) has a smaller particle size than RNP (the complex obtained by patent application No. 2024118893387) and is more evenly distributed.

[0038] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments, and the contents mentioned in the implementation modes are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] A method for preparing a chitosan oligosaccharide-anthocyanidin nanocomposite is carried out according to the following steps:

[0041] (1) Dissolve anthocyanins in distilled water at a concentration of 20 mg / mL;

[0042] (2) Dissolve chitosan oligosaccharide in distilled water at a concentration of 10 mg / mL;

[0043] (3) The solutions of step (1) and step (2) were placed in a beaker, mixed evenly, and then 2 mL of 0.5 mg / mL sodium tripolyphosphate solution was added dropwise, and the mixture was stirred at 150 rpm at room temperature for 2 hours;

[0044] (4) The mixed solution was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 30 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, and double distilled water was added and the centrifugation was repeated three times.

[0045] (5) The precipitate in step (4) is vacuum freeze-dried to obtain the nanocomposite.

[0046] The concentration ratio of the anthocyanin solution in step (1) to the chitosan oligosaccharide solution in step (2) is 2:1.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] The difference between this embodiment and Example 1 is that the concentration ratio of the anthocyanidin solution in step (1) to the chitosan oligosaccharide solution in step (2) is 1:2, that is, 10 mg / mL and 20 mg / mL respectively. The other steps and parameters are the same as those in Example 1.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] The present embodiment is different from Example 1 in that the concentration ratio of the anthocyanidin solution in step (1) to the chitosan oligosaccharide solution in step (2) is 1:1, i.e., 15 mg / mL and 15 mg / mL, respectively. The other steps and parameters are the same as those in Example 1.

[0051] Table 1

[0052]

[0053] As can be seen from Table 1 (the COS / PCA / RNP data in this table are the same as those in Patent 2024118893387 and are listed again for reference), the zeta potential of chitosan oligosaccharide is positive (11.27±1.56mV), and the potential of anthocyanin is also relatively high, which is positive (21.80±0.21). However, after the chitosan oligosaccharide-anthocyanin nanocomposite is constructed, the zeta potential becomes negative, indicating that after the chitosan oligosaccharide and anthocyanin are cross-linked by sodium tripolyphosphate, the surface charge properties of anthocyanin are changed, making it more negatively charged. The enhancement of negative charge contributes to the stability of nanoparticles in vivo and reduces nonspecific interactions with charged biological molecules, thereby improving bioavailability and targeting. Secondly, from the perspective of particle size, the average particle size distribution of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) is 72.25±0.55nm, which is a relatively small value, indicating that the chitosan oligosaccharide has a smaller particle size and may have better solubility and bioavailability. The average particle size distribution of anthocyanin (PCA) is 305.50±0.77nm, which is larger than chitosan oligosaccharide but still within the nanometer range. The average particle size distribution of LNP (ion crosslinking method) is 103.6±3.14nm, which significantly reduces the particle size of the complex compared to RNP, which is conducive to its digestion and absorption by organisms.

[0054] Table 2

[0055]

[0056] As shown in Table 2, the chitosan oligosaccharide-anthocyanidin nanocomposite obtained in Example 2 has a detailed list of the antioxidant properties of anthocyanidin, chitosan oligosaccharide and chitosan oligosaccharide-anthocyanidin nanocomposite against different free radicals such as ABTS, DPPH and ·OH. Anthocyanidin exhibits a very strong antioxidant capacity, and its IC 50 The values ​​were 0.08mg / mL, 0.16mg / mL and 0.05mg / mL respectively, especially the inhibitory effect on OH free radicals. In contrast, the antioxidant capacity of chitosan oligosaccharide was slightly inferior, and its IC 50 The values ​​were 0.21 mg / mL, 0.26 mg / mL and 0.11 mg / mL respectively. IC values ​​of chitosan oligosaccharide-anthocyanidin nanocomplexes for ABTS, DPPH and ·OH 50The values ​​were 0.03 mg / mL, 0.04 mg / mL and 0.05 mg / mL, respectively. Especially in terms of inhibiting ABTS free radicals, the chitosan oligosaccharide-anthocyanidin nanocomplex also showed a considerable effect. In addition, it is also better than RNP. In summary, the preparation process and technology of the chitosan oligosaccharide-anthocyanidin nanocomplex prepared in this study are innovative. Anthocyanidins are encapsulated in chitosan oligosaccharides by a specific method to form stable nanoparticles, which show good application prospects in the field of antioxidants.

[0057] Depend on Figure 9-19 It can be seen that the chitosan oligosaccharide-anthocyanidin nanocomposite obtained by the technical solution of the present application has better stability, can effectively prevent the degradation of anthocyanidin in the environment, and prolong its shelf life. Figure 5 It can be seen that the chitosan oligosaccharide-anthocyanin nanocomposite was successfully compounded. However, when the degree of polymerization of chitosan oligosaccharide was high, a good compound could not be formed.

[0062] (3) adding the anthocyanin solution to the chitosan oligosaccharide solution, adding 1 mL of a 5 mg / mL sodium tripolyphosphate solution dropwise while stirring at a rotation speed of 120 rpm to obtain a mixed solution;

[0066] In step (4), the mixed solution was centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 30 minutes, and then water was added and the centrifugation was repeated several times.
