Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of special membrane separation materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method for chiral separation of amino acids by using a polypeptide-modified homogeneous pore membrane. Background Art
[0002] Chiral isomers are two compounds with the same molecular formula but different spatial structures, and most chiral compounds exist in the form of racemates. Chiral compounds are widely used in the fields of medicine, clinical practice, pathology, etc. In modern drug development, more than 50% of drugs are chiral molecules, and their different enantiomers have significant differences in pharmacological activity, metabolic action, and toxicity. In order to obtain enantiomerically pure substances, many methods including column chromatography separation, crystallization separation, membrane separation, etc. have been used for chiral separation. The column chromatography separation method for chiral separation can effectively separate most racemic mixtures. However, this method requires a large amount of organic solvents, and the waste liquid treatment cost is high. In addition, the stationary phase used in column chromatography is expensive, resulting in high costs. The crystallization separation method requires the use of a separating agent to separate the racemate from the racemic solution. However, this method is limited by the type of separating agent and has a limited scope of application. In contrast, membrane separation has the advantages of high energy efficiency, small floor area, simple preparation, and continuous operation, and is particularly suitable for large-scale production.
[0003] Solid chiral membranes are usually formed by the combination of chiral sites and separation membranes, and can be directly used for enantioselective separation. Traditional chiral separation membranes are prepared by adding chiral small molecules or chemically linking chiral sites in the membrane. For the former, the unevenness and small number of chiral sites make it difficult to develop on a large scale. For the latter, although chiral sites are anchored through chemical reactions, the chiral recognition sites on the chiral separation membrane are restricted by the macropores themselves, and chiral substances will undergo non-selective permeation through the macropores, making it difficult to achieve efficient separation of chiral substances. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a chiral membrane that can efficiently separate chiral substances. In traditional ultrafiltration membranes, homogeneous pore membranes have the ability of precise separation and high permeability due to their uniform pore size, high porosity, and unique structure (ACS Nano, 2013(7), 1882). Combining a chiral modification layer with a homogeneous pore substrate membrane is expected to break through the limitation of the "Trade-off" effect between chiral selectivity and permeability. The synergistic effect of the physical sieving of the homogeneous pores themselves and the surface chemical recognition of chiral selective sites can form uniformly distributed chemical selective sites by loading chiral recognition molecules (such as cyclodextrin, protein, chiral ligand) on the surface, which can significantly improve the selectivity of enantiomer separation. In addition, the structure of uniform pores reduces concentration polarization and membrane fouling, reduces pollutant adsorption and pore blockage, and enables the membrane to maintain a high permeation flux, thereby reducing operating pressure and energy consumption. And the method of preparing homogeneous pore membranes based on block copolymers has been widely studied in recent years. Among them, the preparation of homogeneous pore membranes by combining the self-assembly characteristics of block copolymers and phase inversion (Journal of Membrane Science, 2024, 695, 122467) makes the large-scale preparation of homogeneous pore membranes possible, which lays a foundation for the commercial application of homogeneous pore membranes. Modifying homogeneous pore membranes with chiral polypeptide layers can not only achieve the uniform preparation of chiral separation layers, but also the polypeptide chains can precisely regulate chiral recognition sites through sequence design (such as amino acid arrangement, secondary structure), and achieve high-selectivity adsorption or rejection of specific enantiomers through hydrogen bonding, π-π interaction, electrostatic interaction, etc. And desorption and reuse can be achieved through mild conditions (such as pH adjustment), thereby reducing the use cost of chiral separation membranes. In addition, polypeptide materials have good biocompatibility, and the chiral separation homogeneous pore membranes formed by immobilization on the membrane can be used for the chiral separation of high-value biological reagents such as amino acids. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a preparation method for modifying a uniform pore membrane with a polypeptide chain and its application in the separation of high-value-added chiral amino acids. This method uses a polystyrene-based block copolymer to prepare a uniform pore membrane through self-assembly and solvent-induced phase separation, introduces active sites by using an amino cross-linking agent, and finally prepares a chiral separation membrane through surface modification with amino acid anhydride. This method can rapidly prepare a chiral separation layer through the polymerization of amino acid anhydride without doping a chiral selector. The preparation reaction conditions of this method are mild, the steps are simple, and the chiral separation layer can be constructed rapidly. Through the sequence design of the polypeptide chain, the chiral recognition sites are precisely regulated, and combined with the characteristics of the uniform pore size, few defects, and high pore density of the uniform pore membrane, the efficient separation of chiral substances is achieved.
[0005] The object of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A preparation method for modifying a uniform pore membrane with a polypeptide chain and its application in the separation of high-value-added chiral amino acids, the method comprising the following steps:
[0007] (1) Dissolve the block copolymer in a mixed solvent of dimethylformamide and dioxane, stir evenly to obtain a casting solution, and prepare a uniform pore membrane through the self-assembly of the block copolymer and solution phase inversion; the block copolymer includes a polystyrene hydrophobic segment and a hydrophilic segment of polytetravinylpyridine or polydivinylpyridine. Subsequently, soak it in a 1% iodomethane-ethanol solution for 12 to 24 hours, and soak it in a 0.1 mol / L sodium hydroxide-ethanol solution for 12 to 24 hours.
[0008] (2) Transfer the uniform pore membrane to a mixed solution of an amino cross-linking agent and a catalyst, and use the amino cross-linking agent to undergo an electrophilic substitution reaction with the benzene ring in the block copolymer to uniformly introduce amino active sites on the surface of the uniform pore membrane; the cross-linking agent is a substance that can undergo an electrophilic reaction with the benzene ring, and the conditions for the cross-linking reaction are: reaction time 1 to 6 hours, reaction temperature 20 to 60 °C.
[0009] (3) Wash the cross-linked membrane in an alkaline aqueous solution, and then transfer it to a solution containing N-carboxycyclic anhydride for ring-opening polymerization reaction to obtain a uniform pore membrane modified with a polypeptide on the membrane. The N-carboxycyclic anhydride includes proline anhydride, glutamic acid anhydride, phenylalanine anhydride, etc., and the conditions for the ring-opening polymerization reaction are: reaction time 1 to 20 minutes, reaction temperature 10 to 20 °C, the concentration of N-carboxycyclic anhydride is 10 to 200 mg per milliliter of reaction solvent, and the reaction solvent is an acetonitrile solution containing water.
[0010] Further, the block copolymer is preferably a polystyrene-based block copolymer. Polystyrene-based block copolymer materials are the most commonly used materials for preparing homogeneous pore membranes at present. Using polystyrene as the hydrophobic segment, it has strong incompatibility with the hydrophilic segments P4VP and P2VP, making it easier to achieve microphase separation to form an ordered homogeneous pore structure. At the same time, there is only a benzene ring in polystyrene except for the carbon chain, which is more conducive to the introduction of high-density active sites.
[0011] Further, the content of dioxane in the solvent is 50-90 wt%, and the content of dimethylformamide is 10-50 wt%.
[0012] Further, the crosslinking agent solution is composed of a crosslinking agent and an electrophilic reagent catalyst, and their ratio is: 0.05-0.2 g of the crosslinking agent is dissolved in each milliliter of the catalyst. Preferably, 0.05-0.1 g of the crosslinking agent is dissolved in each milliliter of the catalyst. If the concentration of the crosslinking agent is too low, the degree of crosslinking is low and fewer active sites are introduced.
[0013] Further, the electrophilic reagents include Lewis acids such as aluminum trichloride, zinc chloride, iron trichloride, iron bromide, and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. The electrophilic reagent can accept the unpaired electrons in the crosslinking agent, making the crosslinking agent positively charged and capable of undergoing an electrophilic reaction with the benzene ring.
[0014] Further, in step (2), the crosslinked membrane needs to be placed in an alkaline solution with a pH of 8-10 to activate the amino active sites on the surface of the homogeneous pore membrane and simultaneously wash away the adsorbed electrophilic reagent.
[0015] Further, the N-amino acid anhydride includes amino acid anhydrides such as proline anhydride, glutamic acid anhydride, and phenylalanine anhydride, and its concentration is preferably 10-200 mg per milliliter of solution.
[0016] Further, the separation targets include various natural amino acids, such as natural high-value-added amino acids like phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and glutamic acid.
[0017] A homogeneous pore membrane modified with a polypeptide chain obtained by the above preparation method and its application in separating high-value-added chiral amino acids.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0019] (1) The preparation method of the homogeneous pore membrane modified with a polypeptide chain provided by the present invention and its application in separating high-value-added chiral amino acids are applicable to the modification preparation of all homogeneous pore membranes of block copolymers containing benzene rings. It has obvious advantages such as simple preparation steps, fast preparation speed, and wide application range. It has significant value for expanding new applications of homogeneous pore membranes in chiral separation.
[0020] (2) The preparation method of the polypeptide chain modified uniform pore membrane provided by the present invention and its application in the separation of high - value - added chiral amino acids can precisely regulate the structure and composition of chiral recognition sites through polypeptide sequence design, and achieve efficient and precise separation of chiral substances.
[0021] (3) The preparation method of the polypeptide chain modified uniform pore membrane provided by the present invention and its application in the separation of high - value - added chiral amino acids do not require complex operations during the separation process. The chiral separation target is achieved through concentration driving, pressure driving, or a combination of both, with characteristics such as low power consumption and easy continuous production. Moreover, it can improve its permeability while taking into account selectivity, providing the possibility for large - scale application. Brief Description of the Drawings

After 17 s of volatilization, it was immersed in a coagulation bath for phase inversion to form a membrane. After the solvent exchange was complete, the membrane was taken out to obtain the homogeneous pore membrane. Subsequently, it was soaked in a 1% iodomethane-ethanol solution for 24 h and then in a 0.1 mol / L sodium hydroxide-ethanol solution for 12 h to remove the block copolymer in the pores.

The change in the concentration of L-phenylalanine in the clean water pool was monitored at different times to obtain the diffusion rate of L-phenylalanine through the chiral separation membrane. The same method was used to test the diffusion rate of D-phenylalanine. The chiral separation factor was obtained by statistically analyzing the diffusion rates of different chiral amino acids through the homogeneous pore membrane of the chiral separation layer without much peptide modification.
