Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a process for obtaining triterpenes and/or their components as well as an emulsion, of which the aqueous and fatty phases are emulsified by a plant extract, wherein the plant extract contains at least one triterpene and/or a triterpene divertive and the emulsion further contains at least one oil and/or fat and water.
  • the present invention concerns a process for producing the emulsion as well as the use of the triterpenes for production of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
  • Betulin containing plants are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. They belong primarily to the Hamamelididae (angiosperm plants), where in one single species in the order fagales (birch relatives), and more particularly in the family of the betulaceen (birches), the content of betulin accumulates in the outer bark (review article: Hayek, E. W. et al., (1989), A Bicentennial of Betulin, Phytochemistry, 28(9), pages 2229-2242).
  • the white part of the birch bark, in particular the species betula pedula, betula verrucosa and betula papyfera can contain more than 30% betulin.
  • Betulin is a pentacyclic triterpene with a lupan skeleton, which is also referred to as betulinol, trochoton, birch camphor and (coryli) resinol.
  • the characterizing feature of the lupan group is a ring with five carbon atoms within the pentacyclic system, which contains an ⁇ -isopentyl group in the position C-19.
  • Betulin is further characterized by a high thermal stability, its melting point lies between 250 and 260° C., wherein even high values are obtained after sublimation of the re-crystallized product.
  • birch bark is used for production of birch bark oil, which has also been used for treatment of rheumatism and as aroma therapy (Hansel, R. et al., (Hrsg.), (1994), Drug A-D, Springer Publishing House, Chapter Betula, pages 502-511; Hyek, E. W. supra).
  • birch extracts as bath salts for treatment, particularly for sweaty feet, as well as additives to shampoos as a hair care agent is known (Nowak, G. A., (1966), Cosmetic and Medicinal Properties of the Birch, Amer. Perfumer Cosmet., 81, page 37).
  • aqueous extracts from birch leaves have been employed, which contain practically no betulin.
  • Betulinic acid derivates a new class of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 specific inhibitors with a new mode of action, J. Med. Chem. 39, pages 1056-1068; Hayek, E. W. et. al., supra).
  • an anti-inflammatory, cortisone like effect as well as cytostatic effect upon use in vitro against various tumor cell lines of betulin and betulin derivatives has been shown (Carmen Recio, M., et. al. (1995), Investigations on the steroidal anti-inflammatory activity of triterpenoids from Diospyros leucomelas, Planta Med. 61, pages 9-12); Yasukawa, K., et. al., (1991), Sterol and triterpene derivates from plants ( . . . ), Oncogene 48, pages 72-76).
  • the disadvantage of the sublimation technique is the fact that the content is obtained only with very low yield, which necessitates the use of large amounts of starting materials.
  • a particular disadvantage of the sublimation technique is the simultaneous occurrence of tar-like decomposition products from other cork/bark components, which necessitates multiple re-sublimation or re-crystallization.
  • betulin is relatively poorly soluble in the mentioned solvents and the extraction can only be carried out with high investment in time.
  • multiple re-crystallizations are necessary.
  • the best results are obtained with higher boiling carbohydrates (Eckermann, C. and Ekman, R. (1985), supra).
  • Solvents in which betulin is highly soluble, such as for example pyridine and tetrohydrofuran, are generally considered to be toxins. They are dismissed on the basis of their health risk and their not insubstantial handling risks during extraction.
  • a further disadvantage of the mentioned solvents is that substantial amounts of brown, undesired substances are dissolved at the same time, of which the later separation is extremely complex and costly and uneconomical. Accordingly, until today there is no efficient process for obtaining betulin from birch cork, whereby betulin can be produced in large amounts, with a high degree of purity and without using strong hazardous solvents.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,647,976 a reaction vessel is described, which can be employed for extraction of contents with solvents with high pressure and elevated temperature.
  • This reaction vessel is characterized by a lock, which makes it possible to introduce solvents in the reaction vessel and to remove them therefrom, without having to disturb the lock. In this manner contamination of the solvent is effectively prevented.
  • the reaction vessel is simple to operate, so that it can be operated even by untrained personnel.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,647,976 essentially describes the mentioned reaction vessel, however gives not direction as to how to carry out an extraction process. Besides this, it contains no indication regarding the quality and purity of the contents which have been isolated in the reaction vessel.
  • a disadvantage of the process is in particular that it may be suitable for extracting soluble substances in an analytic sample, however is not or is only poorly suitable for preparative production and yielding of components in greater amounts and purity, since it is precisely in such processes that contamination of the sample leads to defects in the degree of purity of the extracted components. Further, the process as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,785,856 as conceived is limited to the analytical realm. The document provides no indication regarding obtainable degrees of purity and the possibility for scaling up to industrial scale.
  • anti-microbial effective preservatives were added to the described emulsifiers, whereby primarily benzoic acid derivatives were employed (Pasich, J., 1965), Triterpenoid emulsifiers of plant origin. V. Emulsifying properties of Betulin and certain of its esters. Farm. Polska 21, Nr. 17-18, pages 661-666).
  • the present invention further addresses the task of providing a triterpene containing emulsion which contains pharmaceutically active components and at the same time is sufficiently stable for a longer period of time without the addition of preservatives. Besides this, the emulsion should be capable of preparation in a simple manner.
  • the first task is solved thereby, that in the inventive process for obtaining of triterpenes from plants and/or their components the plant parts are first washed at 20° C. to 70° C. in a solvent in which the triterpenes are not soluble or only slightly soluble.
  • the triterpenes are extracted with a solvent under increased pressure and elevated temperature.
  • a cooling and simultaneous depressurization of the triterpene containing solution whereby the triterpenes precipitate in the solvent in extremely small particles and then more triterpene crystallizes onto these particles upon further cooling.
  • they are washed following filtration at room temperature with a fresh solvent.
  • the expression “washing ( . . . ) in a solvent, in which the triterpene ( . . . ) is not or is only slightly soluble” means that the solubility of the triterpene is not more than 1 g/liter.
  • the extraction of the triterpene occurs with solvent under increased pressure and elevated temperature, in certain cases in the supercritical region.
  • solvents for example supercritical carbon dioxide as well as carbohydrates in the supercritical region as well as liquid carbohydrates under elevated pressure or mixtures of different carbohydrates.
  • step (e) Prior to washing [step (e)] it is advantageous that it is not necessary to dry the filter cake in a further process step. Thereby the process is particularly simple to carry out.
  • step (e)] the washing of the triterpene [step (e)] can itself be carried out under normal conditions, thereby keeping the inventive process particularly simple and economical.
  • the inventive process is carried out continuously.
  • the plat material and cold solvent are conveyed through a pressure-tight tube by pumping, and washed in a counter-current at 20° C. to 70° C.
  • the washed plant material is conveyed in a second, likewise pressure-tight and heatable tube or pipe and extracted in counter-current with fresh, supercritical heated or liquid solvent.
  • the discharge of the wash solution and the extraction solution occurs respectively via a filter system.
  • the plant parts are conveyed counter-current to the solvent flow on the basis of their different density and are discharged at the end opposite to the solvent discharge end.
  • the extract solution is—with maintenance of the pressure in the extraction system—conveyed to spray nozzles via a valve system and it is only here that it is finally reduced in pressure.
  • Birch bark is available in large amounts as an economical raw material in particular as waste products in the pulp industry.
  • the triterpenes are obtained from birch bark, preferably from the white part of the birch bark, which is also referred to as birch cork.
  • “Separated birch cork” refers to both the white outer layer when stripped by hand, which is sloughed off outwardly as cork skin by the trunk of the birches and thus lies outside of the actual bark, as well as the subsequently separated birch cork separated for example with the aid of a hammer mill and a flotation process from a total skinning.
