The invention discloses a
quercetin derivative chemically modified by dodecanoyl
chloride and a synthesis method thereof, belonging to the field of pharmaceutical synthesis. The method comprises the following steps of: adding raw materials namely
quercetin and dodecanoyl
chloride into a
solvent, adding a proper amount of catalyst and
acidity regulator, reacting for 8-10 hours under the condition of
ice water bath to
room temperature, adjusting the pH value to 6-7 with acid after the reaction is finished, adding water, extracting with
ethyl acetate, separating liquid, and continuously extracting a
water layer with
ethyl acetate for 2-3 times. Combine
ethyl acetate layers, adde water absorbing agent, overnight, suction filtering, distil to remove ethyl acetate to obtain crude product, purifying with 200-300 mesh
silica gel column chromatography, preparing
liquid phase, and purifying again to obtain
quercetin derivative with high purity. The quercetin derivative obtained by the inventioncarries out
chemical modification on natural quercetin, and is favorable for improving water
solubility and
fat solubility and improving
bioavailability through
substitution reaction at the 4'-OH hydroxyl position. The quercetin derivative can be used for treating diseases such as hypertension,
myocardial ischemia and
cancer.
