Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of eutectic technology, and in particular to a ginsenoside and mannitol eutectic, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Ginsenosides are active ingredients extracted from ginseng, a plant in the Araliaceae family. Based on their chemical structure and aglycone type, they are mainly divided into the following three categories:

[0003] (1) Dammarane-type saponins: including ginsenoside diol group (PDT), represented by Rb1, Rb2, Rc and Rd, mainly distributed in ginseng roots, with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular protection and blood sugar and lipid regulation effects. It also includes ginsenoside triol group (PrT), represented by Rg1, Rg2 and Re, with higher content, with immune regulation, anti-fatigue, cognitive function improvement and DNA / RNA synthesis promotion effects.

[0004] (2) Oleanane saponins: including Ro, Rh3, etc., are widely distributed in nature, but there is relatively little research. They mainly have the effects of regulating immunity, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and improving sleep quality.

[0005] (3) Rare saponins: mostly metabolic transformation products, such as Rh1, Rh2, Rk1, aPPD, etc., which have anti-tumor, neuroprotective and metabolic regulation effects.

[0006] However, most ginsenosides have poor water solubility and low bioavailability, making them difficult for the human body to absorb effectively, which limits their application in oral medications and cosmetics.

[0007] Mannitol, also known as wood molasses alcohol, is a white crystalline solid belonging to the hexanediol class of sugar alcohols. Its molecular structure contains six hydroxyl groups (-OH), giving it strong hygroscopic and polyol properties. As a natural or synthetic compound, it is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and cosmetic fields due to its good moisturizing, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, soothing, mild, hypoallergenic, penetrating, and cardiovascular protective effects. Summary of the Invention

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the grain sizes corresponding to the characteristic diffraction peaks of 13.80°, 17.45°, 18.90°, 20.03°, 20.60°, 21.41°, 21.54°, 28.30°, 34.13°, and 44.08° are respectively...

[0013] As a preferred option, the infrared spectrum of the cocrystal of ginsenosides and mannitol is at least at 3275.55 cm⁻¹. -1 2938.19cm -1 1457.46cm -1 1429.13cm -1 1371.89cm -1 1315.44cm -1 1260.99cm -1 1195.47cm -11076.22cm -1 1040.18cm -1 1018.33cm -1 951.34cm -1 926.81cm -1 882.12cm -1 714.11cm -1 653.03cm -1 628.01cm -1 519.35cm -1 494.64cm -1 476.55cm -1 A characteristic peak is present at this location, with a range of ±0.2 cm. -1 Error tolerance.

[0014] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a co-crystal of ginsenosides and mannitol, comprising the following steps:

[0015] S1. Weigh out mannitol and pure water according to the ratio, and stir to dissolve mannitol in pure water to form a mannitol solution.

[0016] S2. Weigh out ginsenosides and ethanol according to the ratio, and stir until the ginsenosides are completely dissolved to form a ginsenoside solution.

[0017] S3. Add the ginsenoside solution dropwise to the mannitol solution and stir until well mixed;

[0018] S4. Take out the solution from step S3 and homogenize it in a high-pressure homogenizer at a pressure of 800-1200 bar; or take out the solution from step S3 and react it in a reaction vessel for 0.5-1 h at a pressure of 10-15 MPa and a temperature of 30-40 °C; or take out the solution from step S3 and sonicate it in an ultrasonic instrument for 2-4 h.

[0019] S5. Take out the reaction solution from S4 and let it stand and crystallize.

[0020] S6. Filter, dry, and grind the crystals from S5 into fine powder.

[0021] As a preferred option, the mass ratio of mannitol, ginsenosides, ethanol, and pure water is 2:1:4:3.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, in step S2, the mixture is stirred in a heat-collecting constant-temperature magnetic stirrer at a temperature of 30℃~50℃, a speed of 150~250r / min, and a stirring time of 1~2h.

[0023] As a preferred option, in step S6, the product is dried in an oven at 30–50°C.

[0024] A final aspect of the invention also provides the application of ginsenoside and mannitol cocrystals in cosmetics, food, health products, and pharmaceuticals.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0026] (1) The ginsenoside and mannitol co-crystal successfully prepared by the present invention rearranges the molecular structure through non-covalent bonds such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. This arrangement not only optimizes the physicochemical properties of the co-crystal, but also significantly reduces its irritation to the skin. Therefore, in cosmetic applications, the co-crystal can effectively reduce the occurrence of allergic discomfort symptoms such as skin redness, swelling and itching, and greatly improve the safety of cosmetic products.

[0027] (2) The ginsenoside and mannitol co-crystal obtained by the present invention has excellent transdermal absorption performance, thereby effectively improving the problem that ginsenoside itself has poor absorption and is difficult to be effectively utilized by the skin. The co-crystal can penetrate the skin barrier more efficiently and be fully absorbed and utilized by the human skin, so that the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other multiple effects of ginsenoside can be fully exerted.

[0028] (3) In addition, the ginsenoside and mannitol co-crystal prepared by the present invention also has significant advantages in terms of stability. Compared with single ginsenoside, the stability of the co-crystal is significantly improved. This characteristic makes the co-crystal more reliable in the application of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, health products and other fields. Whether in production, storage or use, the co-crystal can maintain the effectiveness of the active ingredients for a long time, thereby extending the shelf life and effect of the product.

[0095]

[0096] The ginsenosides and mannitol cocrystals obtained in Example 1, as well as the raw materials, were subjected to DSC analysis. The test parameters were as follows: temperature 50–400 °C, heating rate 10.0 °C / min, Ar 20.0 mL / min. The results are as follows. Figures 2-4 As shown in the figure, the temperature corresponding to the peak value is the temperature inside the instrument's high-temperature furnace. Since the sample temperature is lower than the furnace temperature at the same time, the sample temperature is analyzed by software as follows:

[0126] Sampling and testing after 4 hours:

[0127] ① Weigh the total weight of the supply solution in the supply tank (place it in a 25mL beaker or centrifuge tube; the gross weight of the supply tank needs to be weighed in advance), rinse with 50% methanol, and bring the volume to 10mL. Sonicate for 20 minutes and shake well, then filter and degas using ultrasonication.
