Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of compound extraction technology, specifically, it relates to a method for preparing gastrodin and gastrodin aglycone through dual-enzyme catalysis and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] Gastrodia elata contains polyphenolic compounds, polysaccharides, proteins, amino acids, and trace elements. Its chemical components include gastrodin, gastrodin aglycone (p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, barisonoside A, barisonoside B, barisonoside C, barisonoside D, and barisonoside E. Among these, gastrodin and gastrodin aglycone are chemical components that must be tested according to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, with a combined content ≥0.25%. Gastrodin possesses various pharmacological activities, showing significant potential in neuroprotection, anti-epileptic activity, anti-inflammation, antidepressant activity, anti-tumor activity, and blood sugar regulation. Gastrodin aglycone exhibits anti-epileptic, neuroprotective, sedative, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, free radical scavenging, neuroprotective, and tumor cell growth-inhibiting effects. After being absorbed into the bloodstream, gastrodin is broken down into gastrodin aglycone and glucose. Gastrodin and gastrodin aglycone have similar pharmacological effects and share the same main material basis for their pharmacological actions. They are widely used clinically in the treatment of diseases of the nervous, cardiovascular, and immune systems, with no significant toxic side effects.
[0003] Gastrodin has the chemical structure of p-hydroxymethylphenyl β-D-glucopyranoside, consisting of one molecule of β-D-glucopyranoside and one molecule of gastrodinogene linked by a glycosidic bond. Gastrodinogene has the chemical structure of p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, containing a benzene ring (C6H5) with two hydroxyl (-OH) groups. In addition to the two chemical components specified in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, Gastrodia elata also contains several other active components, including barisonoside A, barisonoside B, barisonoside C, barisonoside D, and barisonoside E, which also have high research value. Barisonoside A belongs to the glycoside class of compounds, consisting of one molecule of citric acid replacing three molecules of gastrodin via ester bonds at positions 1, 2, and 3. Barisonoside B consists of one molecule of citric acid replacing two molecules of gastrodin via ester bonds at positions 1 and 2. Barisonoside C has the same molecular formula as Barisonoside B, but differs in that Barisonoside B contains two glucose molecules, while Barisonoside C contains both glucose and rhamnose, and the glycosidic bonds are not entirely identical. Barisonoside D is obtained by esterification of one molecule of citric acid with two molecules of gastrodin. Barisonoside E consists of one molecule of citric acid replacing one molecule of gastrodin via an ester bond at position 1. These Barisonoside compounds are typically formed by the condensation of one molecule of citric acid with multiple gastrodin groups, belonging to the polyphenol or polyphenolic glycoside class of compounds. Barisonoside compounds and gastrodin can interconvert. Based on the fact that the chemical structure of Barison-like substances contains glycosidic bonds and / or ester bonds, these substances are chemically unstable and are easily destroyed and deactivated during processing.
[0004] Currently, gastrodin and gastrodin aglycone are mainly prepared through extraction and separation from traditional Chinese medicinal materials and chemical synthesis. However, both extraction and separation, and chemical synthesis have drawbacks. The extraction and separation of gastrodin and gastrodin from Gastrodia elata often involves decoction or soaking, which frequently uses organic solvents. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also results in long extraction times, low yields, and a large amount of waste liquid with high waste liquid treatment costs. Furthermore, the extracted substances contain not only the effective components but also other ineffective components. As the effective active ingredients, gastrodin and gastrodin aglycone cannot be fully extracted; in some cases, prolonged decoction or soaking can even cause the medicinal effects to dissipate, significantly reducing their efficacy in treating hypertension and protecting blood vessels. This inevitably leads to higher dosages, causing inconvenience for patients and limiting their market application. The chemical synthesis of gastrodin and gastrodin aglycone involves multiple reaction steps, uses toxic and harmful reagents, leaves significant solvent residues, easily generates byproducts, has limited yield, affects the purity of the final product, and is extremely costly.
[0005] Relevant patent documents retrieved:
[0006] This document, published in China (CN102206682A) on October 5, 2011, discloses a method for preparing gastrodin from Gastrodia elata. The method involves first impregnating Gastrodia elata powder with dilute hydrochloric acid, then performing enzymatic hydrolysis using a combination of β-glucosidase, pectinase, and cellulase as a complex enzyme. After drying, the mixture is subjected to supercritical CO2 extraction, followed by dissolution and crystallization using methanol upon heating. This invention has the advantages of simple operation and low energy consumption. However, this technique only yields gastrodin, while the pharmacologically active components in Gastrodia elata include gastrodin as well as gastrodinin.
[0007] This document, published in China (CN101531689B) on April 27, 2011, discloses a method for bio-enzymatic extraction of gastrodin. The method includes the following steps: pulverizing dried gastrodia elata, sieving it, adjusting the pH of the system, mixing it with a complex enzyme, adding alcohol, filtering, concentrating, and drying to obtain the final product. The complex enzyme comprises plant cell wall-breaking enzyme, amylase, pectinase, and protease. This extraction method is simple, lowers the extraction system temperature, reduces heating energy consumption and environmental pollution, and preserves some heat-volatile small-molecule pharmacologically active components, resulting in a more complete efficacy of gastrodin. However, this technique uses four enzymes, which obviously increases the extraction cost. Furthermore, the pharmacologically active components in gastrodia elata include gastrodin aglycone in addition to gastrodin.
[0008] Currently, there is a lack of a technical method that can simultaneously increase the content of gastrodin and gastrodin.
[0009] The prior art represented by the aforementioned documents has at least the following unresolved technical problems or defects: 1. Existing bio-enzymatic extraction methods for gastrodin use, which employ complex enzymes (plant cell wall-breaking enzymes, amylase, pectinase, and protease) to specifically degrade impurities such as starch, pectin, and protein in gastrodia, have different effective components and yields depending on the extraction method, resulting in insufficient versatility.
[0010] 2. Direct extraction with alcohol after enzymatic hydrolysis did not take into account the impact of residual enzyme proteins, polysaccharides and other impurities in the hydrolysate on the dissolution efficiency of gastrodin. This may result in some gastrodin encapsulated in the residue not being fully released, and there is still room for improvement in the extraction rate.
[0011] 3. Multiple heating and crystallization processes with methanol are required to improve product purity, but this also leads to a loss in product yield.
[0012] Other content that is useful for understanding, searching, and examining this invention: This technology overcomes the shortcomings of chemical synthesis, which involves separate preparation and organic solvent extraction. It directly decomposes barisoniside compounds from Gastrodia elata into gastrodin and gastrodin, thereby increasing the content of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Summary of the Invention

[0164] Example 1: Characterization of Immobilized Enzyme Performance 1. Experimental Methods: Take Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride, Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase and Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase prepared in Example 1. 4、 Fe2O3, Fe2O3@polyvinyl alcohol@cellulase were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
[0165] 2. Experimental Results: from Figure 2 As can be seen, both Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride appear as irregular spheres under transmission electron microscopy, with each nanoparticle measuring approximately 20-30 nm in size. In the electron micrograph of Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride, a light gray "shell" is clearly visible encasing the darker particles; the black particles are Fe3O4, and this "shell" is a polydopamine layer with adhesive properties formed by dopamine on the surface of Fe3O4 under weak alkaline and air conditions. Under the influence of this polydopamine layer, the Fe3O4 particles become more compact. Figure 2 As can be seen from C, after immobilizing the lipase, the particles became more compact, without changing the shape of the particles.
[0166] Similar to Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase, after adsorption and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, Fe2O3 (such as...) Figure 2 The D) particles form a solidified complex of about 1 μm, similar to gel clusters, with polyvinyl alcohol and cellulase (e.g. Figure 2 (E), this microgel cluster structure makes the immobilized cellulose more flexible.
[0167] Particle size analysis of the immobilized enzymes revealed that the average particle size of Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride and Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase increased significantly after dopamine was loaded onto the Fe3O4 particles, reaching 24.73±3.57 nm, which is significantly larger than the 18.65±1.41 nm of Fe3O4. This indicates the formation of a polydopamine layer with a thickness of approximately 3.04 nm on the Fe3O4 surface. Furthermore, when enzyme was further loaded onto the Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride particles, the average particle size of Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase reached 32.95±4.41 nm, indicating successful immobilization of the lipase on the nanocarrier with a thickness of approximately 4.11 nm.
[0168] A comparison of the particle sizes of Fe2O3 and Fe2O3@polyvinyl alcohol@cellulase revealed that when polyvinyl alcohol and cellulase were loaded onto Fe2O3 particles, the average particle size of Fe2O3@polyvinyl alcohol@cellulase increased significantly to about 1 μm, which is significantly larger than the 14.32±1.54 nm of Fe2O3. This indicates that a very large gel layer was formed on the surface of Fe2O3.
[0169] To further determine whether the enzyme successfully attached to the carrier, XPS was used to analyze the surface elements of Fe3O4, Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride, and Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase. Figures 4-6 The XPS analysis chromatograms show Fe3O4, Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride, and Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase, respectively. Figure 4 As can be seen, the Fe3O4 surface contains three main characteristic peaks: C1s at 282.00 eV, O1s at 527.00 eV, and Fe2p at 708.00 eV. The peak area of C1s is 1033.36, that of O1s is 2583.83, and that of Fe2p is 4199.83. The presence of the characteristic C peaks on the Fe3O4 surface may be due to exposure to air during preparation or storage. Carbon in the air (such as CO2, hydrocarbon molecules, etc.) can be adsorbed onto the sample surface, resulting in the presence of carbon signals.
[0170] from Figure 5As can be seen, the characteristic peaks of Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride include the addition of nitrogen (N) and the N1s peak with a bond energy of 397.00 eV, which is due to the introduction of the amino group (-NH2) in dopamine hydrochloride. Furthermore, the peak area of C1s increases significantly to 2351.30, because the dopamine hydrochloride molecule contains eight carbon atoms forming a benzene ring structure and an alcohol group. The peak area of O1s does not increase due to the presence of the hydroxyl group (-OH) in dopamine hydrochloride, and the peak area of Fe2p also decreases significantly. This is because the "shell" structure formed on the Fe3O4 surface reduces the signals of O and Fe to some extent. This indicates that dopamine successfully attaches to the Fe3O4 surface. Compared to Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride, the XPS diagram of Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase shows no increase in the number of peaks, but the peak area of the N1s peak increases, precisely because lipase is the sole source of the increased N peak signal. The changes in element type and content are direct evidence of successful modification and immobilization, indicating that the lipase was successfully immobilized on the surface of Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride.
[0171] To further clarify the changes in chemical bonds and functional groups of the carrier and enzyme before and after immobilization, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize Fe3O4, Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride, and Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase. Observations revealed that all three curves were at 573 cm⁻¹. -1 A strong absorption peak appeared at the wavenumber, mainly due to the Fe-O functional groups. Fe3O4 showed an absorption peak at 1640 cm⁻¹. -1 The peak at the wavenumber is mainly due to the vibration of hydroxyl groups adsorbed in water on the Fe3O4 surface. The peak at 1640 cm⁻¹ for Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride is also significant. -1 The peak at the wavenumber is significantly larger than that of Fe3O4, which is due to the stretching vibration peak of the -COOH group in dopamine. The hydroxyl groups adsorbed on the Fe-O surface react with the hydroxyl groups of catechol in dopamine hydrochloride to form an ester. Compared to Fe3O4, Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride shows a higher peak at 795 cm⁻¹. -1 The peak at the wavenumber corresponds to the out-of-plane deformation vibration peak of the CH group of the benzene ring, at 1040 cm⁻¹. -1 The peak at wavenumber is caused by the CN functional group in lipase, at 1270 cm⁻¹. -1 The peak at wavenumber is caused by the stretching vibration of the phenolic hydroxyl group in the lipase, at 1510 cm⁻¹. -1 The peaks at the wavenumber are caused by the C=C in the benzene ring of dopamine hydrochloride. The appearance of these three peaks proves that dopamine has successfully attached to the surface of Fe3O4. Compared to Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase, no new peaks were generated in Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase, but the peak at 1510 cm⁻¹... -1 C=C peak at wavenumber, 1270 cm⁻¹ -1The hydroxyl peak at wavenumber and at 1040 cm⁻¹ -1 The peak area of CN peaks at different wavenumbers is significantly increased, especially at 1040 cm⁻¹. -1 The increase in peak area of CN peak at wavenumber is particularly significant, and lipase is the only source of this peak during the immobilization process, indicating that lipase has been successfully immobilized on Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride.
[0172] Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy characterization of Fe2O3@polyvinyl alcohol and Fe2O3@polyvinyl alcohol@cellulase revealed that, due to the presence of citric acid, at 1673 cm⁻¹... -1 A C=O stretching vibration peak appears at 3350 cm⁻¹. After the addition of cellulase, the C=O stretching vibration peak becomes sharper due to the influence of the amide group. This is also due to the influence of the NH bond in the cellulase. -1 The absorption peak of the -OH stretching vibration at the site is broader and its intensity is weaker. This indicates that the colloid formed by Fe2O3 and polyvinyl alcohol after repeated freeze-thaw cycles successfully immobilized the cellulase.
[0173] To clarify whether the immobilization of dopamine onto Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles affected the crystal structure of Fe3O4, XRD analysis was performed on Fe3O4, Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride, and Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase. The XRD pattern of Fe3O4 showed a series of characteristic diffraction peaks consistent with its crystal structure. Six diffraction peaks appeared at 2θ=30.2°(220), 2θ=35.4°(311), 2θ=43.3°(400), 2θ=53.5°(422), 2θ=57.5°(511), and 2θ=62.9°(440). Dopamine hydrochloride is an organic compound with a relatively large molecular weight; its X-ray diffraction peaks were not obvious because organic compounds typically exhibit weak signals in X-ray diffraction patterns. Dopamine hydrochloride can have a certain impact on the crystal structure of Fe3O4 particles, causing slight changes in the position or intensity of some peaks. Careful observation is needed to determine the effect. Figure 11 In step B, a weak diffraction peak was observed at 2θ = 21.1°, while the other peaks remained unchanged, indicating that dopamine hydrochloride successfully adhered to Fe3O4 without affecting its structure. Further introduction of lipase revealed no significant difference between the XRD patterns of Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase and Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride, suggesting that enzyme immobilization did not significantly affect the Fe3O4 structure.
[0174] Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of immobilized enzymes showed that Fe3O4, a magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle, typically exhibits high thermal stability. The TGA curves of Fe3O4 remained stable across low, medium, and high temperature ranges with almost no mass loss, demonstrating extremely high stability and maintaining 98.1% of its original mass. Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride underwent slow pyrolysis and degradation in the medium temperature range (100-350℃), potentially disrupting its benzene ring structure and resulting in a slight mass loss, maintaining 93.5% of its original mass. In the medium temperature range (100-350℃), the presence of lipase caused partial protein pyrolysis and denaturation, releasing water and light organic matter. Similarly, dopamine hydrochloride also underwent transformation, ultimately maintaining 87.4% of its original mass. Ordinary dopamine retained only 5.4% of its original mass. The dehydration of dopamine mainly occurs in three stages: the first stage at low temperatures (<100℃), where dopamine hydrochloride loses its own free water, resulting in a mass loss of 11.1%; the second stage occurs in the intermediate temperature range (150℃-350℃), where the benzene ring and other organic structures transform; finally, at temperatures above 350℃, degradation and carbonization form stable residues. Analysis of the mass loss of each sample revealed that the lipase immobilization products exhibited good thermal stability. Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride lost 4.6% more mass than Fe3O4, and Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride@lipase lost 6.1% more mass than Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride. Since no other substances were introduced during the preparation of these two nanoparticles, this indicates that dopamine and lipase were successfully immobilized on the Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@dopamine hydrochloride nanoparticles, respectively.
[0175] Similarly, Fe2O3, as a stable metal oxide, showed almost no significant mass loss in the TGA curve. In the Fe2O3@polyvinyl alcohol@cellulase mixture, the addition of Fe2O3 improved the overall thermal stability of the polymer, shifting the pyrolysis temperature to higher temperatures. Fe2O3 also inhibited polymer pyrolysis, and the mass loss in the TGA curve was concentrated in water evaporation (below approximately 100℃). However, thermogravimetric analysis of polyvinyl alcohol showed water evaporation (<100℃); PVA decomposed (200-400℃), producing small molecule compounds (ethanol, vinyl alcohol, etc.), but the process was unstable, accompanied by chain breakage and the release of volatile small molecules; complete pyrolysis (>400℃) yielded inorganic residues (such as carbon black). Analysis of the mass loss of each sample revealed that the immobilized cellulase product exhibited good thermal stability, and the cellulase was successfully immobilized in the polyvinyl colloid and Fe2O3 complex.

[0178] 2. Experimental Results The standard curves for the six Gastrodia elata standards are shown in Table 3 below: Table 3 Standard curves for Gastrodia elata standard samples
[0179] 2. Experimental Results According to Table 4 below, the yields of baicalin and gastrodin are significantly higher than those of Comparative Examples 1 and 6 (1.3%), indicating that the synergistic effect of specific immobilized cellulase and lipase is key to the efficient conversion of baicalin to gastrodin and gastrodin. Example 1 achieved a yield of 1.5%, representing the optimal yield group. Its core advantage lies in the specific ratio of freeze-dried Gastrodia elata extract, immobilized cellulase, and immobilized lipase. The dual enzymes synergistically and precisely break the glycosidic and ester bonds of baicalin, achieving efficient conversion. Furthermore, the high stability of the immobilized enzyme further ensures catalytic efficiency, ultimately achieving the highest yield.
