Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and particularly to α-ketoglutarate of nicotinamide riboside, its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] As an important derivative of vitamin B3, nicotinamide riboside (NR) has attracted much attention in recent years due to its significant role in regulating cell metabolism and anti-aging fields. NR participates in various physiological processes by being converted into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ), including energy metabolism, DNA repair and antioxidant stress, etc. Research shows that supplementing NR can effectively increase the level of NAD + in the body, thereby improving metabolism-related dysfunction, neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular diseases associated with aging. However, the chemical stability of NR is poor, it is easy to absorb moisture and degrade, and this defect severely limits its long-term storage and practical application as a drug or nutritional supplement.

[0003] In addition, in the field of preparation and purification of NR, existing processes mostly adopt conventional crystallization or chromatographic separation techniques, but there are problems such as insufficient purity, complex operation or high cost. Strong acidic cation exchange resin has been widely used in the purification of bioactive substances due to its high-efficiency selective adsorption ability, however, its specific application in the purification of NR derivatives still lacks systematic research. Existing purification processes of NR salts are difficult to meet the dual requirements of high purity (>99%) and high stability at the same time, resulting in uneven product quality.

[0004] Existing patent CN11454311A provides a class of organic salts of nicotinamide riboside and their compositions, which are formed by salifying nicotinamide riboside with citric acid or malic acid. The decomposition rate of the organic salt of nicotinamide riboside at 2-8°C for 6 months is 0.99% - 1.44%, and there is still room for further improvement. Secondly, the organic salt of nicotinamide riboside prepared in this patent has not been purified and cannot be directly applied to production. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] 1. The invention uses strongly acidic cation exchange resin for the purification of crude products. Cation exchange resin can selectively adsorb and purify target molecules according to the charge characteristics of molecules, thereby improving the selectivity and efficiency of purification. Through the purification process of cation exchange resin, impurities can be effectively removed, and high-purity products can be obtained. The operation of cation exchange resin is simple and easy to control, and the purification process can be optimized by adjusting the elution conditions. Cation exchange resin has the characteristics of stable chemical properties and strong rigidity, and can be operated under high pH conditions. Cation exchange resin can be reused, and its exchange capacity can be restored through appropriate cleaning and regeneration processes, reducing production costs. Compared with some traditional purification methods, the purification process using cation exchange resin produces less waste and has less impact on the environment. The quality and performance of the products purified by cation exchange resin are usually more stable.

[0025] 2. The invention forms a salt of α-ketoglutaric acid and nicotinamide riboside at a molar ratio of 1:1, which not only significantly improves the stability of nicotinamide riboside, but also its anti-aging effect is significantly higher than that of single nicotinamide riboside and α-ketoglutaric acid, as well as the physical mixture of nicotinamide riboside and α-ketoglutaric acid.

[0079] Mouse survival period test (as shown in Figure 1 shown):

[0080] To evaluate the anti-aging effect of nicotinamide riboside α-ketoglutarate, C57 / BL male aged mice, 18 months old, were purchased from the Animal Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University. There were 15 mice in each of the four groups (nicotinamide riboside chloride, α-ketoglutaric acid, Example 1, physical mixture group (1:1)). They were raised under standard experimental conditions, with free access to food and water, and a light cycle of 12 / 12 hours. Intragastric administration was carried out at 10 am every day at a dose of 300 mg / kg / d (calculated based on the final product), lasting for 180 days from the start of the experiment or until the natural death of the mice, and the number of surviving individuals was recorded. This experiment has obtained the approval of the Animal Ethics Committee of Sichuan University, and the relevant regulations on the welfare of laboratory animals in the country were followed during the experimental process. The results showed that Example 1 could help extend the lifespan of mice compared with nicotinamide riboside chloride, α-ketoglutaric acid, and the physical mixture group.
