A kind of extracting method of silymarin
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of from silybum marianum seed, extracting the method for silymarin.
Background technology
Silymarin is the natural active matter obtained from extracting the dry fruit of feverfew Silymarin, main component is silibinin (Silybin), Silydianin (Silydianin), Silychristin (Silychristin), the mixture of flavanolignan's compounds such as silybonol (Silybonol).Silymarin is the splendid natural medicine of a kind of anti-liver and gall diseases effect; can remove the hepatocellular free radical of infringement; liver cell is formed to protective membrane; can repair impaired liver cell; simultaneously to prostate cancer; growth and the differentiation of mammary cancer and uterus carcinoma cell have restraining effect, and psoriasis, allergic, arteriosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia are all had to good curative effect.
In prior art, the extracting method of common silymarin is mainly first Silymarin to be deoiled, then, with organic solvent reflux such as ethanol, methyl alcohol, acetone, ethyl acetate, separates and obtain the silymarin product through repeatedly extraction, wash-out, extraction.Because on the Herba Silybi mariani flavone class formation, phenolic hydroxyl group being arranged, have certain slightly acidic, can be combined with alkali, improve the water dissolution ability, but be insoluble in acidic solution, therefore the method for extracting with alkali extraction and acid precipitation in recent years is also more common.In addition, utilize that microwave-assisted extracts, ultrasonic assisted extraction silymarin report also arranged; A kind of silymarin extraction process of ethanol as single organic solvent of usining disclosed in CN1560046A; The method that adopts subcritical fluids butane extraction silymarin is disclosed in CN102924438A.
In prior art, the separating and purifying method of common silymarin is mainly to adopt the methods such as column chromatography, macroporous adsorbent resin separation, recrystallization.
The simulated moving bed chromatography technology is that simulation moving-bed design philosophy is introduced in liquid phantom preparing chromatogram, both kept the consumption of liquid phantom preparing chromatogram little, separation purity is high, and the advantage such as temperature-changeable operation, overcome again the shortcoming that common liquid phantom preparing chromatogram can not operate continuously, make it have separating power strong, equipment volume is little, and cost of investment is low, and is particularly conducive to the characteristics such as system of separating the high and difficult separation of thermo-sensitivity.

(1) any in ethanol, acetone or ethyl acetate is as extracting solvent, and the Herba Silybi mariani meal that oil expression produces to silybum marianum seed extracts, and obtains extracting solution A;
(2) extracting solution A is concentrated, obtain paste B;
(3) in paste B, adding must be without oily paste C after n-hexane extraction fat;
(4) without oily paste C acetic acid ethyl dissolution, carry out separating-purifying through simulated moving bed chromatography, obtain being rich in Silychristin and Silydianin component D, be rich in silibinin component E, be rich in the component F of Isosilybin;
(5) after component E concentration and recovery solvent, obtain the finished product by crystallization, vacuum-drying, wherein silibinin content is more than 98%;
(6) component D, F reclaim solvent, can obtain other corresponding Silymarin series products.
(1) middle etoh solvent, ethyl acetate or the acetone content of extracting is all more than 95% for step of the present invention, and extracting method can be heated and stirred, microwave-assisted, ultrasonic auxiliary or diacolation extraction.
The normal hexane that step of the present invention adds in (3) and the mass ratio of paste B are 0.5~2:1, add normal hexane to stir, and pour out afterwards solvent, and the remaining thickness throw out of container bottom is without oily paste C.
Step of the present invention (4) in the mass ratio of ethyl acetate and paste C be 20~30:1, the sorbent material that simulated moving bed chromatography is filled is silica gel, eluting solvent is normal hexane and ethyl acetate, the volume ratio of normal hexane and ethyl acetate is 1~2:1, separation temperature is room temperature, absorption and elution flow rate are 2~3BV/h, and be 700~900s switching time, simulation moving-bed column pressure 0.3~0.5Mpa.
Step of the present invention (5) in component E to be concentrated into solid content be 20%~50%, reclaim simultaneously solvent, place crystallization, centrifugally afterwards go out crystallization, then carry out vacuum-drying with 50 ℃~60 ℃.
Further, described step is preferably used in (1) 95% ethanolic soln as extracting solvent.
Further, described step (4) in simulated moving bed chromatography preferred switching time be 700~800s, simulation moving-bed column pressure 0.5Mpa.
Further, preferably component E to be concentrated into to solid content in (5) be 30% to described step.
Processing step of the present invention is simple, easy and simple to handle, has greatly improved the separating-purifying efficiency of silymarin extracting solution.The silibinin total recovery that described method obtains reaches more than 80%, and purity reaches more than 90%.
