A novel spirobenzylisoquinoline
alkaloid anisone C extracted from anise, as well as its preparation method and application, can effectively solve the problem of extracting and preparing the novel spirobenzylisoquinoline
alkaloid anisone C from anise, and realize its application in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and treatment of non-
alcoholic fatty liver disease. Dried anise is extracted with
ethanol by heating and refluxing, followed by acid extraction and alkali
precipitation, and sequentially extracted with
chloroform and n-
butanol to obtain an extract of the corresponding parts. The target extract is mixed with
silica gel, eluted, concentrated under reduced pressure, and identified. Fractions of the same size are combined, loaded onto a column, eluted, mixed with
silica gel, eluted, and fractions with the same
retention time are collected, concentrated, and dried to obtain anisone C. This compound can significantly improve
lipid metabolism disorders and
lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells induced by free fatty acids, while also reducing FFA-induced HepG2
cell damage. It can be prepared into a variety of pharmaceutical dosage forms for convenient and effective clinical use, with broad development and application prospects and significant economic and
social benefits.
