Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a tyrosinase inhibitor. Background Art

[0002] Flavonoids play an important role in human health care. The most abundant flavonoid in citrus peel is hesperidin, which has biological and pharmacological properties such as anti-inflammatory, lipid-lowering, antioxidant and anti-cancer. Because hesperidin contains rutinoside, the structure of this glycoside will reduce the liposolubility of flavonoids, making it difficult for them to penetrate biological cell membranes to play physiological roles. And due to the suitable spatial configuration of hesperidin and the presence of a large Π-bond conjugated system, chemical modification methods are commonly used to improve its solubility and bioavailability.

[0003] There is a published literature (Chen Jianqiu, Yang Ke, Hu Zhijun. Study on the derivatization modification and free radical scavenging of hesperidin [J]. Journal of Anhui Agricultural Sciences, 2009, 37(30): 14544-14546) showing that the methylation modification of hesperidin generally involves dissolving hesperidin in sodium hydroxide solution to form hesperidin chalcone, and then obtaining it through methylation with dimethyl carbonate. Under alkaline conditions, the γ-pyrone ring in the hesperidin molecule opens to form hesperidin chalcone, which has unstable properties and forms hesperidin again after acidification. Therefore, the methylation product of hesperidin is a mixture composed of various flavanone and chalcone compounds, and their methylation degrees are also different. In the previous research of the inventors, various flavanone and chalcone derivatives of hesperidin modification were isolated from this mixture.

[0004] Tyrosinase (tyrosinase, EC1.14.18.1) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of melanin in animals and plants. Its expression activity determines the speed and quantity of melanin production. Only by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase can the formation of melanin be reduced to achieve the whitening effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a preparation method and application of a tyrosinase inhibitor. The method provided by the present invention can simply prepare a tyrosinase inhibitor product with a fixed proportion range of main components (the ratio of 3’,5-dimethylhesperidin to 3’-methylhesperidin is in the range of 0.8:1 to 1.25:1), and under the condition of this component ratio range, the two components can have a synergistic effect, and the product can exhibit a tyrosinase inhibitory effect significantly superior to that of any one of its monomer components.

[0006] The following technical scheme is adopted:

[0007] An application of 3’,5-dimethylhesperidin for preparing a preparation for preventing or treating skin hyperpigmentation.

[0008] Specifically, the types of the preparations include, but are not limited to, drugs, health products, functional foods, cosmetics, etc.

[0009] The structural formula of 3’,5-dimethylhesperidin is as follows:

[0014] The structural formula of 3’-methylhesperidin is as follows:

[0016] The inventor found that by applying the compositions of each hesperidin modified derivative and their combinations to tyrosinase, among them, both 3’,5-dimethylhesperidin and 3’-methylhesperidin have a certain tyrosinase inhibitory effect, and the two can have a synergistic effect when used in combination. At the same time, the effect of the combination of the two changes with the change of the ratio of the two in the mixture. When the ratio of 3’,5-dimethylhesperidin to 3’-methylhesperidin is in the range of 0.8:1 to 1.25:1, it has a better tyrosinase inhibitory effect than the single use of the monomer. On this basis, a preparation method for preparing a tyrosinase inhibitor product conforming to the above ratio range from a hesperidin derivatization reaction system was developed.
