The invention discloses an
oxymatrine-
caffeic acid co-
crystal and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
natural product co-
crystallization, the molecular formula of
oxymatrine-
caffeic acid is C15H25N2O2.C9H7O4. 3H2O, the
crystal structure belongs to a monoclinic
system, the preparation method of the
oxymatrine-
caffeic acid co-
crystal comprises the following steps: respectively weighing oxymatrine and caffeic acid according to a
molar ratio, and adding the oxymatrine and the caffeic acid into a reaction kettle; and mixing the two components, and placing the mixture in a
glass container. And then, adding a proper amount of
solvent into the container, filtering the obtained oxymatrine-caffeic acid
mixed solution, standing, volatilizing and crystallizing to obtain the oxymatrine-caffeic acid eutectic. The oxymatrine-caffeic acid eutectic prepared by the invention can effectively improve the
dissolution performance of an insoluble
natural product caffeic acid and improve the
bioavailability of the caffeic acid. The preparation method is simple and easy for industrial development and production, and has a good application prospect.
