Introduction | the chemical name of ergosterol is 24 β-methyl cholesterol -5, 7-en-3β-hydroxy, also known as ergosterol, white or colorless bright small leaf crystal or white crystalline powder. Ergosterol not only has a unique physiological role, but also is widely used in drug development. As an important component of fungal cell membrane, ergosterol has stable structure and strong specificity. It is more representative than glucosamine for the determination of biomass, the biomass of the fungus can therefore be measured by measuring the content of ergosterol. |
purpose | vitamin D2. is a precursor for the production of vitamin D2, is also an intermediate for the production of hormone drugs, can be used to produce cortisone vitamin D2 biological precursors, it is found in the cell membranes of fungi and some protists such as trypanosomes. Ergosterol is useful in the functional studies of antifungal drugs such as amphotericin B and its analogs and in the studies of ergosterol biosynthetic pathways in various fungi. |
production method | with the preparation of yeast raw material paste, take dry yeast powder through 60-80 mesh sieve, add 3 times the amount of 82%-84% ethanol extraction 18-24H, at 70 ℃ for 3H, constant stirring, let cool to below 30 ℃, filter, filter residue extraction 2 times, pull out ethanol, combined extract, 70 ° C vacuum concentration, concentration time is not more than 24h, the paste. The residue was used to extract ribonucleic acid and yeast polysaccharide. Dry yeast or Geotrichum [ethanol] → [first 68-70 ℃, after 30 deg C below] extract [70 deg C concentration] → paste ergosterol crude preparation of paste paste add 5%-10% of water, add 3-5 times the amount of ether, vigorously stirred 2-3H, after standing for 16-20h, the middle and lower layers of liquid were discarded, and the upper layer of ether liquid was placed in -5 ℃ refrigerator for 20-24H to precipitate ergosterol crystals. Paste [ether] → ether solution in upper layer [-5 ℃]→ crude ergosterol [20-24H]. extracted from yeast that synthesizes the product from glucose. |
