Description

Cucumber extract and application thereof in preparation of anti-cardiovascular drugs
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of natural extracts, and particularly relates to a cucumber extract and antioxidation and blood fat reduction effects thereof.
Background
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the diseases seriously threatening the life and health of human beings nowadays, and become the first and second death reasons in most countries of the world. According to the conclusion of 'Chinese cardiovascular disease report 2017' issued by the national cardiovascular disease center in the recent years, the number of people suffering from cardiovascular diseases in China reaches 2.9 million, wherein 1300 million of stroke, 1100 million of coronary heart disease, 500 million of pulmonary heart disease, 450 million of heart failure, 250 million of rheumatic heart disease, 200 million of congenital heart disease and 2.7 million of hypertension. Reports indicate that the prevalence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases in China are still in an increasing stage overall, and that the number of patients with cardiovascular diseases will increase rapidly in the next 10 years. With the accelerated aging and urbanization of society and the popularity of unhealthy life style of residents, cardiovascular disease risk factors of residents in China are generally exposed and show the trends of rapid growth and individual gathering in low-age and low-income groups. The cardiovascular diseases bring great economic pressure to the medical industry of China, and have important significance for developing the prevention and treatment of the cardiovascular diseases. In the research on cholesterol level and the etiology of coronary heart disease, it was found that Sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 (SREBP 2) plays a central role in cholesterol metabolism as a membrane-bound transcription factor. Liu Xiao Li et al, in the research on the association between SREBP-2 gene polymorphism and cholesterol level, in the journal of molecular cardiology 8.4(2008): 203-.
Cardiovascular diseases are frequently seen in middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old, the recovery period of the diseases is long, the prognosis is poor, and the avoidance of induction factors and exacerbation factors is very important from the viewpoint of preventing the diseases or treating and recovering the diseases except for the medication following the advice of the medicine. Therefore, for patients with cardiovascular diseases, daily maintenance is particularly critical. Cardiovascular disease patients need to quit smoking and drinking, and daily diet needs to be less in oil and salt, and more in green leaf vegetables, soybeans, fish meat and other foods, so that the effect of preventing cardiovascular disease is achieved. In daily life, the daily exercise is kept, which is beneficial to accelerating blood circulation, enhancing the elasticity of blood vessels, consuming redundant fat in the body and reducing the blood viscosity.
The cucumber used as star diet food has effects of clearing heat, quenching thirst, promoting urination, accelerating blood metabolism, and discharging excessive salt in vivo. A large amount of water-soluble vitamins in cucumber can play a role in maintaining beauty and keeping young, preventing pigmentation and reducing wrinkles. Therefore, the cucumber extract is added into the skin care product in a large amount, and has high cosmetic value. In fact, the cucumber has high medicinal value, and the patent CN1742777A discloses a cucumber extract with the effect of treating alcoholic liver and fatty liver.
The cucumber contains a large amount of cellulose, and can promote intestinal tract movement, remove food residue in vivo, and reduce cholesterol absorption. In addition, the cucumber is rich in tartronic acid, can prevent sugar from being converted into fat, and has the effects of reducing blood pressure and blood fat. Patent CN 105815785 a discloses a method for preparing fat-reducing powder by extracting tartronic acid from cucumber, which combines tartronic acid in cucumber with white gourd, bitter gourd, green vegetables and other foods to prepare fat-reducing powder with weight-reducing effect. In addition, the cucumber also contains abundant proteins, minerals and unsaturated fatty acids, and has certain effects of promoting blood metabolism, softening blood vessels and promoting the growth and development of muscle tissues. Patent CN 105061189 a discloses a method for extracting linoleic acid from cucumber seeds, which comprises adding lipase and protease into cucumber seeds to obtain linoleic acid component. The research on the nutrient components of the watercucumber, namely the research on the nutrient components of the cucumber in the Anshan academy of teachers and universities 8.2(2006) 28-30, wherein fatty acid in the watercucumber is extracted by a Soxhlet extraction method and subjected to methyl esterification treatment; extracting volatile substances from the water cucumbers by a simultaneous distillation-extraction method, measuring the content of the volatile substances in the water cucumbers to be 1.0%, separating the volatile substances from the water cucumbers by a GC/MS method to determine 5 kinds of fatty acids, which mainly comprise: hexadecanoic acid 10.17%, 9, 12-octadecadienoic acid 15.41%, 9,12, 15-octadecatrienoic acid 24.24%; 32 compounds were identified in the volatile oil, representing 93.02% of the total detected amount.
The diet of patients with atherosclerosis, hyperlipemia, diabetes and the like has strict limitations, and certain protein, calcium, vegetables and fruits need to be eaten every day. Fruits tend to eat only very low calorie foods such as cucumbers and tomatoes. Because the patients are mostly old people, and fruits belong to cold and cool foods, the gastrointestinal intolerance can occur to many patients after long-term eating. In addition, the cucumber stem part of the cucumber has the highest nutritional value, is rich in cucurbitacin C, has good effects of expelling toxin and beautifying, and also has the anti-tumor effect. However, the melon stem has obvious bitter taste, is usually discarded in the daily use process, causes waste, and has important significance in providing a special medical food suitable for middle-aged and old patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Example 6 Effect of cucumber extracts on the comprehensive index of blood lipid in a model of high lipid mice
Taking female Kunming mice, adaptively feeding the female Kunming mice with a basal feed for one week, changing the basal feed into a high-fat feed (78.8% of the basal feed, 1% of cholesterol, 0.2% of bile salt, 10% of lard and 10% of egg yolk powder), and feeding the female Kunming mice for four weeks to prepare a high-fat model. During the molding period, the body weight was measured every week, and the weight growth of the mice was recorded.
After rejecting mice with abnormally increased body weight, the remaining mice were randomly divided into 6 groups of 12 mice each, which were a model group, a sample group a, a sample group B, a sample group C, an extract group, and a positive control group. Wherein the model group is continuously fed with common feed, the sample group A is fed with 75% of common feed and 15% of sample A, the sample group B is fed with 75% of common feed and 15% of sample B, the sample group C is fed with 75% of common feed and 15% of sample C, and the extract group is fed with 75% of common feed and 15% of cucumber extract, namely the dosage of the sample A/sample B/sample C/extract is 15g/kg, the dosage of the positive control group is lovastatin + common feed, and the dosage of the administration is 100 mg/kg. The animals were fed for a period of nine weeks and weighed once a week. The body weight changes of the mice in each group are shown in table 2:
TABLE 2 mouse weight changes
