Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to biomedicine technical field, specific a kind of cannabidiol extract and preparation method thereof.
Background technique
Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is a kind of very promising medicinal plant, wherein in cannabinol compounds
The highest compound of medical value is tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol (CBD), research shows that cannabidiol has important face
Bed application prospect, such as kinds cancer, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, the specific certain curative effect (Heilungkiang [J] of Huntingdon disease
Science, 2018,1:024).
Ball mill grinding technology is one of micronization technology important composition, be generally used at present material submicron order grinding,
The preparation of mechanical alloy, it can also be used to the biggish medicinal material of thermo-responsive and stickiness and the broken essence of biological cell and mentioning for DNA, RNA
Take ([J] modern medicines and clinical, 2014 (2): 154-157.).Currently, because spreading unchecked for drugs leads to the easily poison processed such as hemp
The supervision of material becomes increasingly strict, therefore to prevent hemp from flowing into illegal channel, current natural drug is extracted in industry more
Tend to extract cannabidiol with industrial hemp.
Industrial hemp is called Chinese fiber crops, refers to the hemp that tetrahydrocannabinol content is lower than 0.3%, does not have drugs exploitation value
Value, same because tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol content are lower, enrichment difficulty is big, and general crude drug extracts industry and generally adopts
Industrialization extraction is carried out with more complicated technique and the method for a large amount of solvent extractions, as CN104277917A discloses one kind
By the extracting method of industrial hemp essential oil, CN106278828A discloses a kind of leach by ethyl alcohol and is prepared into column chromatography
To cannabidiol, but still there is using a large amount of organic solvents to lead to dissolvent residual and polluting environment, extraction process is complicated, mentions
The defects of taking rate inefficiency.
To sum up, study it is a kind of novel, effectively extracted from industrial hemp cannabidiol, reduce organic solvent use and
The extracting method for simplifying processing step extracts commercial value with higher in industry in hemp.
