Background technology
Along with the aging of social population, the senile dementia sickness rate rises relatively, and the dementia morbidity of over-65s is 5%~10% at present, and still among increasing.According to statistics, the world today has more than 5,000 ten thousand the elderlys to suffer from various degree senile dementia.China more than 60 years old population expect 2010 and will account for 15.7% of total population, the dementia problem is the inevitable problem that we faced equally.Therefore the active drug of seeking the treatment senile dementia disease has been subjected to the great attention of various countries, becomes the task of top priority.In the senile dementia 50%~60% be Alzheimer (Alzheimer ' s Disease, AD), it be a kind of be the primary grey matter encephalopathic of principal feature with memory loss and cognition dysfunction.Clinical manifestation is a progressive dementia, and its cause of disease is still indeterminate, and hypothesis has multiple, as neurotransmitter defective, inflammation, radical damage, amyloid, neurotoxicity, hormonoprivia, apoptosis etc.The purpose of treatment AD is to improve cognition dysfunction, improves patient's viability.The seventies, research mainly concentrates on the relation of vagusstoff and AD; Mainly be the influence of research anticholinesterase to AD the eighties; The nineties, research not only has acetyl choline receptor agonists, has also comprised oestrogenic hormon, antiphlogistic drug, has influenced the medicine of Radical Metabolism and the medicine of inhibition amyloid beta deposition.Up to the present, the clinical treatment of AD remains a global problem that remains to be broken through but for various reasons.In recent years, Chinese scholars is being done a large amount of fundamental researchs and clinical application research aspect the natural drug effective constituent treatment senile dementia using, because cholinergic system and people's study, memory function is closely-related in the brain.The early stage brain cholinergic system of discovering patient AD has been subjected to infringement, causes the decline of cynapse position acetyl choline content, thereby patient's study, memory capability exerted an influence.Therefore, at the acetyl choline content that improves in patient's AD brain, promote the medicine of cholinergic nerve function to arise at the historic moment.The research of this class medicine now concentrates on anticholinesterase and muscarine M1 receptor stimulant.Selagine (huperzine A) is a kind of new alkaloid that is separated to from plants of Huperzia Herba Lycopodii serrati Huperzia serrata (Thunb.) Tre v. in recent years for the potent acetylcholinesterase of reversibility (AChE) inhibitor of China's initiative.The clinical study of carrying out at present shows that it is better than tacrine (tacrine) in cholinergic synapses to the restraining effect of AChE.Animal ethology studies show that selagine can improve the learning and memory ability of animal, and therapeutic index is higher than tacrine, Physostigmine and lycoremine.In the double blind trial in clinical 8 weeks by a definite date, oral 0.2mg/d, has 58% patient significantly to improve all tested memories, cognition and capacity parameter P<0.05 at every day 2 times, and serious reaction do not occur, so selagine is the medicine of a kind of rising treatment AD.To senile dementia, simple dysmnesia and myasthenia gravis treatment have significant curative effect, and duration of efficacy is long, and no serious adverse reaction is the most effective medicine of domestic and international above-mentioned illness, is paid close attention to deeply, domestic approved listing.Be listed in one of inhibitor of s-generation Pseudocholinesterase in the world.
The structural formula of selagine is as follows:
Chemical name be (5R, 9R, 11E)-5-amino-11-ethidine-5,6,9,10-tetrahydrochysene-7-methyl-5,9-methylene ring suffering is (b) pyridine-2 (1H) ketone also
(Hup A) is extremely low at the occurring in nature amount for selagine, and contains a large amount of impurity, has a large amount of researchists exploring so far both at home and abroad and seeks ideal separation way.Once the someone utilized methods such as solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography to separate, though can obtain few products, eventually because of time-consuming, yield is low and be difficult to large-scale production.And the synthetic product are difficult to obtain the ideal curative effect.The adverse current chromatogram method for separating and preparing can reach the purity height, and yield is high and be better than traditional separation methods such as column chromatography.High-speed countercurrent chromatography (High-SpeedCountercurrent Chromatography, HSCCC) be that a kind of successive that grew up in nearly 30 years need not the efficient of any solid support, liquid liquid distribution chromatography isolation technique fast, its principle is the centrifugal force that utilizes borded pile to produce when planetary motion, immiscible two-phase is constantly mixed, keep a phase (solid phase) wherein simultaneously, utilize constant flow pump to import another phase (moving phase) continuously, the solute that enters borded pile with moving phase distributes between two-phase repeatedly, press the order of partition ratio, quilt is wash-out successively.The elder generation that allocation proportion is big in moving phase is by wash-out, otherwise, solid mutually in big back of allocation proportion by wash-out.The variety of issue that it has avoided solid state adhesion body or carrier to bring---sample is adsorbed easily, loss and sex change, when other liquid chromatography technology amount of being prepared is separated, its allocative efficiency can obviously reduce, solvent-oil ratio is big, HSCCC guarantees higher peak type resolution, fractional dose is big, sample is lossless, the rate of recovery is high, isolating environment relaxes, and saves solvent.High-speed counter-current chromatograph can directly advance a large amount of crude extract samples or synthetic mixture, separating resulting can reach quite high purity, even can directly connect instruments such as mass spectrograph, be widely used in the preparation separation and the purifying of field chemical substances such as biology, medicine, environmental protection.Therefore, HSCCC has easy and simple to handle, and the theoretical rate of recovery is 100%, favorable reproducibility and separation efficiency height, the characteristics that fractional dose is bigger.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is the defective that overcomes traditional isolation technique, adopts high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC), and a kind of preparation method of high-purity huperzine A is provided.This method has rate of recovery height,
