sesame oil is an important component | sesame phenol, also known as 3, 4-methylenedioxyphenol, fat-soluble lignans, is an important component of sesame oil and an important quality stabilizer of sesame oil. Sesame phenol exists in sesame seeds, sesame oil and sesame meal, and can be produced by continuous decomposition of sesame linins and the like during thermal processing, up to 64.4 mg/(100g) in sesame oil. sesamol has very strong antioxidant capacity and has been proved to have anti-inflammatory and regulating intestinal function. Antioxidants commonly used in food and medicine. At the same time, it is an important starting material for the synthesis of antihypertensive drugs and cardiovascular drugs. It is also a raw material for the pesticide piperyl butyl ether. Sesamin is very tight in the world, especially in the field of drug synthesis. |
application | sesame phenol naturally exists in sesame oil with very little content. This product is an aromatic phenolic compound, which can interact with acids, aldehydes, alcohols (phenols) and other compounds to form esters and ether derivatives. It is widely used in the preparation of a series of fine chemicals such as anti-mold antibacterial agents, anti-cancer, anti-hypertensive drugs, high-grade hair conditioning agents for shampoo, etc. It is an expensive chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate raw material with good development and utilization value and application prospects. It is also an important intermediate for the synthesis of anticancer drugs and pesticide synergists, and also as an intermediate for antihypertensive and cerebrovascular disease drugs. |
synthesis method | there are three main synthesis techniques for sesamol: one is extracted from sesame oil, the other is fully synthesized from pepper amine, and the third is a semi-synthetic route from jasmine. The extraction of sesamol from sesame oil has a large solvent consumption and high cost, which is not suitable for industrial production; the total synthesis route starting from piperzine requires diazotization and hydrolysis to obtain a low yield of sesamol. At the same time, due to the diazotization and hydrolysis process, it is inevitable that there will be a coupling side reaction to produce pigment material inclusions. It is difficult to remove in the product, so the color of sesamol is not good, and the application is limited; the semi-synthetic route starting from jasmonal, it is the most industrialized process route, and the product quality and color are very good. Sesame phenol was synthesized from jasmine aldehyde, mainly through two steps of oxidation and hydrolysis. In this project technology, low-cost oxidant and reaction extraction technology are used, so that the generated products quickly leave the reaction zone, greatly reducing the occurrence of side reactions. The yield can reach more than 60%, the product content is 98%, and it is white crystal. |
The metabolic pathway of sesamol in the human body | After being ingested, sesamol is absorbed into the body through the gastrointestinal tract. First, part of sesamol is metabolized by two-phase enzymes in the liver. Conjugated products such as sesamol sulfate and sesamol glucuronide, and then the remaining sesamol and its conjugated products are transported to other tissues such as the brain and lungs, it is mainly distributed in the lungs and kidneys and eventually excreted in urine and feces. |
