Publication number is the extracting method that report has pair Radix Astragali saponin in the Chinese patent literature of CN1557329A, what adopt is the aqueous extract of producing the raw material crude drug Radix Astragali earlier in the conventional decocting mode of boiling, filtrate is 0.02~0.03 μ m through macroporous resin commonly used as average pore size, specific surface area 〉=400m
2The macroporous adsorbent resin of models such as the D-201 of/g, AB-8, DM-301 carries out adsorption treatment, adsorption and enrichment saponin constituent wherein.After water and the remove impurity of aquiferous ethanol solution washing, alcoholic solution desorbing eluting with 60%~95%, remove the eluent water dissolution behind the ethanol, with n-butanol extraction Radix Astragali total saponins wherein, and with sodium hydroxide/potassium, sodium carbonate, the soda lye wash n-butanol extraction of pH such as saturated limewater or ammonia 〉=10 is molten, remove reuse acetone backflow defat behind the n-butyl alcohol, can obtain the Radix Astragali saponin of Astragaloside content 〉=20% (weight) after the separation, and can be by " pharmaceutical analysis magazine " 1999,19 (6): 403~405 and " Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal " 2002,37 (4): 298~300 report, with high performance liquid chromatography and evaporative light scattering detector, promptly the HPLC-ELSD method is measured the Astragaloside content in the resulting Radix Astragali saponin extract.The result of the test demonstration, simple low with the rate of transform of water extraction Radix Astragali saponin, and the gained Radix Astragali saponin all can not meet the requirement of injectable drug on many indexs such as clarity, tannin.
Summary of the invention
At above-mentioned situation, the present invention will provide a kind of preparation method of Radix Astragali saponin of injection, make it can remove a large amount of phenol, acidic materials and tannin etc., can keep the stable of Radix Astragali saponin again, satisfy the required performance indications of using for injection of Radix Astragali saponin, guarantee the safety of its use.
The preparation method of astragalus root saponin of the present invention is to be 40%~95% with medicine material Radix Astragali volumetric concentration, is more preferably the aquiferous ethanol reflux, extract, with 60%~80%.Result of the test shows that it is low excessively to extract used concentration of alcohol, and the water-solubility impurity in the extract is too much; Then can increase the oil-soluble impurities in the extract when concentration of alcohol is too high again too much.Compare with the water extraction mode of routine, extract Radix Astragali saponin with 40~95% ethanol circulating refluxs, the rate of transform of Radix Astragali saponin is higher, and the rate of transform can reach more than 92%, and only be 71% with the rate of transform of water extraction mode merely, the two exists notable difference (P<0.01).
Reflux extracting liquid is removed ethanol, adds alcohol volume content to 40%~95% of ethanol to mixed solution again, is more preferably to reach 70%~90% to ethanol content and precipitate and filter.Result of the test shows, filtrate is adjusted to pH 6.0~11.0 after, can remove tannin effectively, the scope that wherein preferably is adjusted to pH 8.0~10.0 is carried out sedimentation and filtration.After filtrate is adjusted to pH 6.0~8.0, it by crude drug/water weight ratio 0.5~3/1 amount, wherein being more preferably by crude drug/water is after 1~2/1 amount adds water and mixes, keeping uncongealable cryogenic conditions, wherein preferably to precipitate after-filtration under 0 ℃~10 ℃ conditions.Filtrate is used macroporous adsorbent resin commonly used in the pharmaceutical manufacturing, as average pore size is 0.02~0.03 μ m, the macroporous adsorbent resin of the D-101 commonly used of specific surface area 〉=400m2/g, Diaion HP-20, D-201, models such as AB-8, DM-301 carries out adsorption treatment, and reuse concentration is 50%~90% aquiferous ethanol desorption eluting and collects.Result of the test shows that used concentration of alcohol is low excessively during eluting, can be mixed with too much water-solubility impurity in the eluent; The too high amount that then may increase oil-soluble impurities in the eluent of concentration of alcohol.With after removing desorption concentrated solution behind the ethanol and regulating pH to 9.0~13.0, with through water saturated n-butanol extraction, extracting solution is removed at least a precipitate and separate precipitate that carries out in the acetone and ether behind the n-butyl alcohol, is the said Radix Astragali saponin of using for injection of the present invention.
Experiment shows, in the above-mentioned preparation method, handle and be adjusted to the extracting solution of nearly neutral pH 6.0~8.0 through ethanol precipitation, and further add water and mix and be incorporated in precipitation process under the low temperature, the clarity of astragalus root saponin solution all is important and necessary when guaranteeing to use.Result of the test shows, before adding water and mixing the meta-acid of pH regulator or partially alkali all can produce significantly adverse effect to the content of astragaloside.And no longer relatively poor through the sample clarity of water precipitation remove impurity processing, the sample clarity that the remove impurity of process water precipitation is handled then can meet the standard-required of injection.
Getting and be equivalent to the concentrated solution of 800g medical material through ethanol precipitation, is that different proportion such as 1/1,1.5/1,2/1 and 2.5/1 adds water to carry out the result of the test that cold preservation staticly settles as shown in table 1 by Milkvetch Root/water respectively.
By table 1 result as seen: the sample clarity after the aqueous precipitation remove impurity is handled all can meet the standard-required of injection, change the water yield what treatment effect is not seen appreciable impact, but in operation, different influences is arranged then.From the water precipitating liquid rate of filtration, medical material/water is 1/1 and 1.5/1 o'clock, and the rate of filtration is very fast, and when medical material/water is 2.0/1 and 2.5/1, filters then relatively difficulty.The adding water yield when therefore carrying out the water precipitation processing, generally the ratio with medical material/water is 1~2/1, is good with 1~1.5/1 o'clock particularly.
When the extracting solution continuation after water precipitation is handled is handled with macroporous resin adsorption, change the kind and/or the model of adsorbent resin, as the evidence of selecting at multiple nonpolar macroporous adsorption resins such as above-mentioned D-101, Diaion HP-20, D-201, AB-8, DM-301 and/or low pole adsorbent resin macroporous adsorbent resin, it all can use, and the quality of products obtained therefrom and stability etc. can both meet the requirements.Further, when carrying out adsorption treatment with macroporous resin, before washing the desorption eluting with 50%~90% aquiferous ethanol, if can be colourless substantially with 20%~50% aquiferous ethanol washing adsorbent resin earlier to cleaning mixture, then to the impurity in the further minimizing collection eluted product, it is useful improving product purity and quality.Test shows, tentatively washs concentration of alcohol that impurity uses and crosses and lowly can make the impurity level in extract obtained many; The too high yield that then can influence Radix Astragali saponin in the extract of concentration of alcohol.
A large amount of and the main impurity component that exists in the Milkvetch Root is approaching phenol of polarity and Radix Astragali saponin and acidic materials, removes relatively difficulty.Therefore in the above-mentioned preparation method, before with the water saturation n-butanol extraction, extracting solution after desorption concentrated is regulated pH to alkalescence with alkali commonly used or alkali compounds, can make phenol and acid impurities salify, be insoluble in n-butyl alcohol and be removed, thereby all be important for quality that guarantees final products and stability.Said alkali or alkali compounds generally can use hydroxide, carbonate or the bicarbonate of monovalence metal commonly used, Chang Yong sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate the most, or alkali or alkali compounds such as ammonia.This goes on foot preferred pH value range of accommodation is 10.0~12.0, and then uses water saturated n-butanol extraction.Test shows that the kind that changes used alkali when regulating pH there is no substantial influence to the result.Extracting solution after handling through absorption with macroporous adsorbent resin respectively with using the water saturation n-butanol extraction complete respectively behind the different alkali adjusting pH, is tested the retention rate of Radix Astragali saponin and astragaloside.Result of the test is as shown in table 2.
The result of table 2 shows that the extracting solution before the extraction is handled with different alkali or alkali compounds, and the retention rate that extracts the back Radix Astragali saponin is not had significant difference.With relative more weak ammonia and the NaHCO of basicity
3During solution-treated, the Astragaloside content in the extract is on the low side relatively, and with after 0.5% and 1% the NaOH solution-treated, the retention rate of astragaloside obviously improves in the extract.Use 1%Na
2CO
3During solution-treated, can improve the content of astragaloside, and the color of alkaline mixed solution is also more shallow after handling.But it is strong always favourable that to be not meaning alkalescence cross for this, may have adverse effect to extract obtained dissolubility by force because alkalescence is crossed.Therefore can preferentially select Na for use
2CO
3Regulate pH.Directly use the test of water saturation n-butanol extraction to show without above-mentioned alkali treatment to the concentrated solution before extracting, the Radix Astragali saponin solution of gained all is difficult to reach the requirement of the technical specification and the regulation of relevant Chinese medicine injection at clarity and color, tannin, resin, oxalates etc., can not be as the injection raw material.With without alkali treatment directly the sample that obtains of extraction the Cavia porcellus test then idol anaphylaxis is arranged, react and all has allergy with the Cavia porcellus test that resulting sample carries out after alkali treatment before the extraction.Simultaneously, the investigation of stability test shows that also with the injection that alkali-treated raw material is made, its safety all met the requirements at least in 2 years.Therefore, carry out alkali treatment before the extraction and positive effect is arranged guaranteeing product aspect such as safety and stability when being used for injection.
Be appreciated that thus preparation method of the present invention at first adopts aquiferous ethanol to extract Radix Astragali saponin, can obtain the higher Radix Astragali saponin rate of transform; By repeatedly Ethanol Treatment, alkali treatment and precipitation process to extracting solution, the a large amount of phenol and the acidic materials that exist in the Milkvetch Root are removed comparatively completely, guaranteed the clarity of astragalus root saponin product and standard and the requirement that every indexs such as color, tannin, resin, oxalates and stability all can reach injection effectively.Steps such as particularly multi-form alkali treatment and water at low temperature precipitation remove impurity guarantee especially and improve the important measures that the Radix Astragali saponin product reaches injecting drug use standard and requirement.
The water precipitating comparative test result of the different water consumptions of table 1
The comparative test result of the alkali treatment condition that table 2 is different
