Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of material extraction technology, and relates to a method for simultaneously extracting PDRN and active ingredients from plants, algae or fungi, as well as its products and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRNs), as nucleic acid substances with excellent anti-inflammatory and tissue repair activities, have been widely used in cosmetics, biomedicine, and other fields. Studies have shown that PDRNs can exert significant anti-inflammatory effects by binding to adenosine A2A receptors and promote fibroblast proliferation and angiogenesis, thereby accelerating tissue repair and regeneration. Based on their excellent bioactivity, PDRNs have been widely applied in tissue engineering, wound healing, skin anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory repair in biomedicine and high-end cosmetics.
[0003] Currently, commercial PDRN production primarily relies on extraction from animals (such as salmon testes). However, animal-derived PDRNs present potential risks of viral contamination, interspecies pathogen transmission, and ethical controversies, limiting their widespread application in cosmetics. Therefore, the development of safe, sustainable, and ethically sound plant- or fungal-derived PDRNs has garnered significant attention. However, the complex structures of plant and fungal cells, particularly the dense cell walls and the abundance of interfering components such as polysaccharides, polyphenols, and pigments within the cells, make PDRN extraction and purification challenging. More importantly, existing plant / fungal PDRN extraction processes typically employ harsh chemical or enzymatic conditions, easily leading to the degradation or loss of small-molecule active ingredients such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides within the cells. This prevents the simultaneous retention and co-extraction of nucleic acids and these small-molecule active substances, resulting in a waste of biological resources and limiting the development of products with multiple therapeutic effects.
[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to provide a method for simultaneously extracting PDRN and active ingredients. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for simultaneously extracting PDRN and active ingredients from plants, algae or fungi, as well as its products and applications.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention employs the following technical solution:
[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for simultaneously extracting PDRN from plants, algae, or fungi and active ingredients, the method comprising:
[0008] (1) Mix the sample with an enzyme-containing aqueous solution for enzymatic hydrolysis to obtain the enzymatic hydrolysate;
[0009] (2) After sonicating the enzyme hydrolysate, it is mixed with the extraction buffer to extract the solution.
[0010] (3) After filtering the extract, centrifuge it and then ultrafilter the supernatant to obtain the final product;
[0011] The sample includes at least one of plants, algae, or fungi;
[0012] The extraction buffer comprises trehalose, L-cysteine, ascorbic acid, sodium citrate, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, NaCl, Tris-HCl buffer, and disodium EDTA, with water as the solvent.
[0013] This invention specifically relates to a method for co-extracting PDRN and active ingredients from plants, algae, or fungi with soothing and anti-inflammatory effects, and its application, which solves the technical problem that active ingredients cannot be preserved during existing plant PDRN extraction.
[0014] The extraction buffer used in this invention does not contain toxic reagents such as β-mercaptoethanol, chloroform, and phenol, and meets the safety requirements for cosmetic raw materials. This buffer is also suitable for the flowers, stems, leaves, roots of plants and large fungi, and can simultaneously extract PDRN and other plant active ingredients such as polysaccharides, polyphenols, and flavonoids. During the extraction process, browning and oxidation are inhibited, resulting in a clear and highly stable cosmetic raw material solution.
[0015] The addition of Tris-HCl buffer helps maintain the stability of the extraction system, ensures sufficient cell lysis, and prevents the degradation of nucleic acid structures; the addition of EDTA-disodium helps chelate metal ions, inhibit nucleases, and reduce metal-catalyzed polyphenol oxidative browning; the high-salt environment promotes nucleic acid dissolution, protein and polysaccharide precipitation, and reduces interference; hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), as a cationic surfactant, efficiently lyses plant / fungal cell walls and solubilizes polyphenols, flavonoids, and lipid-soluble components; polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) strongly complexes polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins. The extract contains pigments; it removes polysaccharide adhesion and prevents irreversible binding of polyphenols to nucleic acids, while chelating but not precipitating polyphenols, thus retaining them in the extract; trehalose acts as a bioprotective agent, stabilizing nucleic acids, proteins, and polyphenols; L-cysteine is a strong reducing agent, inhibiting polyphenol oxidative browning and protecting flavonoids and anthocyanins from destruction; ascorbic acid has antioxidant and anti-browning effects, assisting in color protection and brightening, and can form a dual antioxidant system with L-cysteine; sodium citrate assists in chelating metal ions, regulating the osmotic pressure of the system, enhancing the stability of the system, and ensuring that the extract does not change color during long-term storage.

[0159] Extract component analysis results
[0160] Test method:
[0161] PDRN content detection method:
[0162] A highly specific double-stranded DNA fluorescent dye (PicoGreen) is used. This dye exhibits extremely weak fluorescence in its free state, binding specifically only to the minor groove of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). After binding, the fluorescence intensity is significantly enhanced (enhancement factor >1000-fold), and the fluorescence intensity shows a strong linear positive correlation with the double-stranded DNA content. A fluorescence intensity-nucleic acid content standard curve is established using standards of known concentrations. By measuring the fluorescence signal of the sample and substituting it into the curve, the nucleic acid (PDRN) content can be accurately calculated. This method is unaffected by impurities such as proteins, polysaccharides, pigments, and salt ions, and is suitable for the quantitative detection of low concentrations and small fragments of nucleic acids in complex biological matrices.
[0163] Prepare working solutions according to the number of samples to be tested, using a detection buffer:fluorescent dye ratio of 199:1 (volume ratio). Vortex to mix and allow to stand in the dark for later use. Prepare three reaction systems (2 standards + 1 sample) for each sample to be tested. Prepare working solutions fresh each time. Take three 0.2 mL PCR tubes without nuclease and label them as Standard 1, Standard 2, and the sample to be tested, respectively. Add the samples according to the following systems: Standard 1: 190 μL working solution + 10 μL Standard #1; Standard 2: 190 μL working solution + 10 μL Standard #2; Sample to be tested: 198 μL working solution + 2 μL nucleic acid sample. Vortex to mix after adding the samples, and briefly centrifuge to ensure the liquid settles at the bottom of the tube. Incubate the PCR tubes at room temperature (20-25℃) in the dark for 2 minutes to avoid fluorescence dye attenuation caused by light. Strictly control the incubation time; excessive incubation can affect detection stability.
[0164] Turn on the Qubit 3.0 fluorescence quantitative analyzer and select the "dsDNA HS" detection mode; add standard 1 and standard 2 sequentially. The instrument will automatically read the fluorescence signal and establish a linear standard curve (R²). 2 ≥0.99 is considered valid); place the sample to be tested in the instrument, and the instrument will directly read the sample nucleic acid concentration (unit: ng / μL); if the sample concentration exceeds the linear range of the kit (0-100 ng / μL), dilute with nuclease-free pure water and retest. The final concentration = detection value × dilution factor. Final nucleic acid extraction amount (mg) = nucleic acid concentration (ng / μL) × 10g total volume obtained from sample extraction (mL) × 10 -3 The PDRN extraction amounts in Table 1 are the nucleic acid amounts extracted from 10g of plants, fungi, or algae.

After deproteinization, centrifuge the extract and dilute the supernatant to a final volume to obtain the test solution. Separately, prepare a series of reference solutions by adding water to glucose reference standard. Accurately measure the test solution and reference solutions separately, add 5% phenol solution, quickly add concentrated sulfuric acid, shake well, allow to stand for color development, cool to room temperature, and measure the absorbance at 490 nm. Using the corresponding reagent as a blank, calculate the total polysaccharide content (calculated as glucose) in the sample according to the standard curve method.

[0178]
[0179] Different plants contain different types and amounts of active ingredients, including PDRN, flavonoids, polyphenols, polysaccharides, saponins, and amino acids. This invention tested the content of PDRN, flavonoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides in the extract, and the results are shown in Table 1. The method described can simultaneously achieve good extraction effects on PDRN, flavonoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides. The composition of the extract has the most significant impact on the extraction effect of PDRN and polyphenols. The absence of any one of CTAB, PVP, trehalose, L-cysteine, and ascorbic acid will significantly reduce the PDRN content in the extract. Enzymatic hydrolysis and ultrasound have a certain synergistic effect on PDRN extraction. The electrophoresis results of Examples 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and Comparative Examples 6-7 are shown below. Figure 1 As shown.

[0181] Soothing efficacy test
[0182] Test method:
[0183] Hyaluronidase was dissolved in 0.4% BSA solution to prepare a 0.5 U / mL enzyme working solution. Hyaluronic acid (HA) substrate was diluted with purified water to 0.5 mg / mL. 50 μL of the test sample, 50 μL of the hyaluronidase working solution, and 100 μL of the hyaluronic acid (HA) substrate were added to establish a sample group, a blank control group, and a positive control group, with three replicates for each group. After pre-incubation at 37℃ for 30 min, 50 μL of 0.1 mol / L NaOH solution was added to terminate the reaction. 50 μL of 0.2 mol / L acetylacetone was added and the mixture was boiled in a water bath for 15 min. After cooling, 150 μL of DMAB (p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde) chromogenic reagent was added, and the mixture was shaken well. The mixture was then incubated at 37℃ for 20 min for color development. The absorbance was measured at 528 nm using a microplate reader. The inhibition rate of hyaluronidase was calculated using the following formula.
[0184] Inhibition rate (%) = [1 - (Absorbance of sample group / Absorbance of blank control group)] × 100%
[0185] Sample group: Dilute with pure water to a sample concentration of 3%;
[0186] Positive control (epigallocatechin gallate, purity >98%): diluted with water to a positive control concentration of 1 mg / mL;
[0187] Blank control: pure water.
[0188] This method directly assesses the potential for soothing and repairing efficacy by quantifying the sample's ability to inhibit HA decomposition. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0193] Anti-inflammatory effect test
[0194] Test method:
[0195] This study used immortalized human keratinocytes (HaCaT) as the research subject and constructed an in vitro model related to skin inflammation using LPS stimulation. Under the inflammatory conditions induced by LPS at a concentration of 2 μg / mL, cell supernatants from the sample group, blank control group, LPS-induced group, and positive control group were collected, and the secretion of key inflammatory factors (TNF-α) was quantitatively analyzed using an ELISA kit. Using a 96-well ELISA plate pre-coated with anti-human TNF-α monoclonal antibody as the solid-phase carrier, the following were prepared: biotinylated anti-human TNF-α detection antibody, HRP-labeled streptavidin, PBS-Tween 20 concentrated washing buffer, sample dilution buffer, TMB chromogenic solution, and 2 M H2SO4 stop solution. The specific procedure was as follows: 50 μL of standard or test sample was added to each well, and the plate was incubated at 37°C in the dark for 60 min. The plate was then washed five times with 350 μL / well washing buffer and patted dry. 100 μL of biotinylated detection antibody working solution was added, and the plate was incubated at 37°C in the dark for 30 min. After washing, 100 μL of HRP-streptavidin working solution was added, and the plate was incubated at 37°C in the dark for 30 min. After washing again, 100 μL of TMB chromogenic solution was added, and the plate was incubated at 37°C in the dark for 10 min. 50 μL of stop solution was added and mixed thoroughly. The absorbance was measured at 450 nm using an ELISA reader within 15 min, and the inhibition rate of TNF-α was calculated.
[0196] TNF-α inhibition rate (%) = (Absorbance of LPS group - Absorbance of sample group) / (Absorbance of sample group - Absorbance of blank group) × 100%
[0197] The positive control group received 1 mg / mL dexamethasone.
[0198] By comparing factor expression levels among groups, the anti-inflammatory potential of samples in skin-related cell models was systematically evaluated.

[0200]
[0201] The inhibitory effects of TNF-α are shown in Table 3. The combination of rose extract, astragalus root extract, tea extract and black truffle extract showed the best inhibitory effect on TNF-α, which was close to that of the positive control. Furthermore, rose extract, astragalus root extract, tea extract and black truffle extract had a certain synergistic effect on the above effects.
