United States Patent PREPARATION OF urornornrus Edward F. Cavanaugh, Wilmette, 111., assignor to Armour and Company, Chicago, 111., a corporation of Illinois No Drawing. Application May 16, 1955, Serial No. 508,825
Claims. (Ci. 260-112) Schotten' Baumann procedure which involves treating the proteiiiaceous' substance with hydrogen peroxide prior to reaotion there'of'with'thefatty acid halide to obtain an increased content of fatty acid component in the resultin'g-lipoprotein.
' In ca ooii'tained-in'the'heaction mixture to form a soap and an inorganic halide. Consequently, the lipoprotein reaction jroduct 'may be contaminated with the soap and the inunreacted alkali:
Amobject-of-this-invention is the provision of a proccas ier; preparing a purified lipoprotein. Another object is,the ,proyi si on of'a process for separating soap and salt contaminantsr' of lipoprotein products. Other objects and, adyantages 10f thisinvention will become apparent as the specification proceeds.
In one aspect of this invention a lipoprotein substance, obtained; by reacting a proteinaceous substance and a fatty-acid halide in an alkaline mediiun and dehydrating the resulting reaction product,.-may be purified by a process 3 which involves mixing such lipoprotein with an organicfatsolvent having a specific gravity higher than that of-the-lipopnotein.' The mixture of this organic fat solventand the lipoprotein substance should be achieved in a substantially anhydrous system, and the lipoprotein substance should be maintained at an acidic reaction in such solvent' mixture. The acidification of the lipoprotein substance converts the soap contaminant thereof to the free fatty acid, and results in the formation of a salt therein. When this mixture is brought to an equilibrium state, there is produced a heterogeneous solvent system, including a salt phase subjacent to a fat solvent phase, and a lipoprotein phase superimposed upon such fat solvent phase. Then, the lipoprotein phase may be separated from the other phases in this heterogeneous system to provide a substantially purified lipoprotein product.
The lipoprotein substance employed in this purification pnocedure may be prepared by reacting any proteinaceous substance With any fatty acid halide. The term proteinaceous substance employed herein means derived proteins such as proteoses, polypeptides and peptones, as well as whole pr0t eins.- Preferably, this fatty acid halide reactant-contains from '1 to 22 carbon atoms, and espengout this Sclrotten-Baumann procedure, a portion 'ofthe fatty acid' halide reacts with the alkali:
or'ganicsalt. --Also,- suchreaction product may contain cially desirable results are obtained with fatty acid halides containing from 12 to 18 carbon atoms. Also, this fatty acid halide reactant can. be derived from a mixture of fatty acids, such as are prepared from tallow and soya bean. As suitable fatty acid halides for use in preparing this lipoprotein substance, I mention, for example, the halide derivatives of such fatty acids as oleic, palmitic, lauric, capric, stearic, etc. The halide component of this fatty acid halide reactant may be bromine, fluorine, chlorine, etc. but better purification of the lipoprotein substance can be achieved when it is derived from a fatty acid chloride reactant.
The proteinaceous substance and the fatty acid halide may be reacted in an alkaline medium to form a lipoprotein reaction product. The reaction mixture should include an alkali having a cation capable of reacting with the anion of an acid to form a salt. Better results are obtained when an inorganic alklali is included in the reaction mixture, and an especially desirable purification of the lipoprotein reaction product is achieved with an alkali having an alkali metal cation, e. g. sodium, potassium, etc.
The l-ipoprotein reaction product should be dehydrated while being maintained at a substantially neutral or alkaline pH. I have found that the acidification of such reaction product prior to drying apparently increases the melting point and viscosity thereof such that it is difficult to obtain the lipoprotein substance in a substantially anhydrous form. Preferably, the reaction product is maintained at a pH of at least pH 6.5 during this drying step, and especially desirable dehydration is obtained when the reaction product has a pH of at least pH 7.5. The
drying of this lipoprotein reaction product may be ob tained by such methods as evaporation, lyophilization,
etc.
The dehydrated lipoprotein substance may contain such;
contaminants as soap, residual alkaliand a salt: Prepara tory to purification, the dehydrated lipdprotein substance may be pulverized'to produce greater exposure of the contaminants therein to' the acidifying agent and to the organic fat solvent.

out by charging the lipoprotein substance into a suitable vessel, and then charging into the vessel the organic fat solvent. The. mixing of the lipoprotein substanceand the fat solvent may be achieved by pumping, stirring, churning, etc.
The acidification of the lipoprotein substance may be obtained by contacting this solventmixture with an anhydrous acid which is dispersible in such solvent mixture. By dispersible, I mean that the anhydrous acid should be either soluble in the organic fat solvent or in the gaseous state such that it may be bubbled through the solvent mixture. I have found that substantially all of the soap contaminant of the lipoprotein substance may be converted to the free fatty acid by infusing into the solvent mixture acid in such amount as to adjust the pH of the lipoprptein substance to less than about pH 5.5. I prefer to obtain conversion of the soap contaminant to the free fatty acid by adjusting the pH of the lipoprotein substance to about pH 5.0, and usually a pH within the range of pH 5.5 to 4.5 is sufiicient to obtain conversion of the soap contaminant to the free fatty acid. As acids suitable for mixing with the solvent mixture to obtain conversion of the soap contaminant to the free. fatty acid, I mention, for example, mineral acid anhydrides, e. g. hydrochloric, sulfuric, sulfurous and phos phoric, and organic acids, e. g. oxalic. r
Patented June 4, 1957 The pulverizing of this lipoprotein substance may be obtained by a method such as cornthe other hand, the specific gravity of this organic fatsolvent should be less than that of the inorganic salt. Consequently, the specific gravity of such solvent may be less than about 1.9 to 2.7. I mention, for example, such suitable organic fat solvents, together with their specific gravities, as: chloroform 1.498, carbontetrachloride 1.595, trichlorethylene 1.456, dioxane 1.034, chlorobenzene 1.107, and ethylene dichloride 1.257.
The ratio of organic fat solvent to lipoprotein substance included in this solvent mixture may be increased in accordance with an increased concentration of contaminant substances contained in such lipoprotein substance. I have found that the dehydrated lipoprotein product generally contains not more than 40% by weight of such contaminant substances, and more often the concentration of contaminants therein is less than 25% by weight. However, it is seldom that the concentration of these contaminants in the lipoprotein product is less than about butinmore efiicient operation it may be possible to obtain a concentration of contaminants therein of about 3 to 6%. Consequently, in the usual practice a ratio of fat solvent to lipoprotein substance of at least about 2 is suitable for carrying out this purification, and for practical considerations a ratio of fat solvent to lipoprotein substance of less than about 10 is convenient.
After dispersing the liproprotein substance in the organic fat solvent, the resulting solvent mixture may be settled to obtain an equilibrium state therein, and to provide the heterogeneous solvent system. In this heterogeneous system, the contaminant free fatty acid dissolves inthe organic fat solvent forming a layer subjacent to the lipoprotein phase and superimposed upon a salt phase. The lipoprotein phase may be separated from the other phases by draining, skimming, etc. In the former method, the subnatant organic solvent and salt phases can be drained from the bottom of the mixing vessel, and the residual lipoprotein recovered from the bottom of the vessel. The latter separation method involves skimming the lipoprotein layer from the top of the mixing vessel. The residual organic fat solvent may be removed from the separated lipoprotein by evaporation, etc. i
This invention can be more fully illustrated by the following specific examples:
Example I The skimmed lipoprotein layer was dried by evaporation.
This dry product was analyzed and found to contain 96% of lipoprotein and 4% of sodium chloride. The subnatant salt layer was also separated from the purification mixture, and upon analysis was found to contain 85% of sodium chloride.
Example II A lipoprotein product, obtained by reacting gelatin with 4 a fatty acid chloride was prepared. This lipoprotein product, had a pH of 53, and its composition was as follows:
Percent Lipoprotein 76.9 Sodium chloride 16.6 Free fatty acid 6.5
This lipoprotein product, in the amount of 10 gm., was suspended in cc. of trichloroethylene and the resulting mixture was settled to form three phases. The supernatant lipoprotein phase was separated by skimming, and the skimmed lipoprotein dried by evaporation. The dry product was analyzed and found to have the following composition:
Percent Lipoprotein 92.6 Sodium chlor 7.4
Example III A reaction product of lard flake fatty acid chlorides and gelatin was prepared. This lipoprotein product had a pH of 7.7, and the following composition:
Percent Lipoprotein 48 Free fatty acid 22.3 Sodium chlor e 25.7
This lipoprotein product, in the amount of 100 gm., was suspended in 3000 cc. of ethylene dichloride. Gaseous hydrochloric acid was added to this suspension until a pH of 4.7-5.0 was obtained. After settling, the supernatant solvent and lipoprotein layers were separated from the subnatant salt layer by decantation. The decanted supernatant layers were separated by filtration. The separated lipoprotein layer was dried by evaporation, as was the subnatant inorganic salt layer. The dry lipoprotein product was analyzed and found to have the following The purified lipoprotein product was again suspended in ethylene chloride, and the lipoprotein layer separated from the resulting-heterogeneous system. The separated lipoprotein layer was analyzed and found to be free from fatty acid contamination and practically free of inorganic salt.
