white crystalline powder. Odorless, slightly bitter, hygroscopic. Insoluble in water and chloroform, soluble in alkaline aqueous solution, slightly soluble in methanol and ethanol, soluble in acetone and ethyl acetate and other organic solvents.

general silymarin seeds as raw material extraction. Take 5kg silymarin seed crushing, with petroleum ether (30~60 ℃) defatted for 24h, defatted powder volatilized to petroleum ether after 60 mesh sieve, then with acetone reflux extraction for 32H, concentrate the Acetone Extract to a certain volume
After upper silica gel column, with chloroform: ethanol (95:5) elution, and identified by thin layer chromatography collected components, the same spots combined, reduced pressure concentration to dry, the main spots can be obtained light yellow crystals, with a small amount of methanol wash 2 times, after drying to obtain silymarin crude crystal 22.5g, the yield is 0. 45%. The crude crystals were soaked with a small amount of acetone, stirred and allowed to stand for 2 days, and the acetone solution was filtered to obtain a white powder, which was dried. A sample of the dried white powder was taken. 200ml of distilled water was added to 5G, the pH value was adjusted to 9 to 10 with 1 mol/L NaOH solution, and the whole was dissolved by slight heating. Then, 500ml of chloroform was added, and the chloroform layer was separated by shaking. The chloroform layer solution was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to give a white powder. Dissolve the white powder with acetone, filter, concentrate the acetone to a certain volume, add petroleum ether (60~90 ℃) to slightly turbid, and place overnight to obtain crystallization. According to this step, the product was crystallized twice with acetone petroleum ether and dried in a vacuum drying oven to obtain pure silymarin.
This product is mainly used for the treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis, fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, liver damage caused by alcohol, metabolic toxic liver damage, gallstones and spleen disease.
plant source: | milk thistle |
Silybum marianum extract | Silybin is a flavonoid lignan compound isolated from the seeds of the Compositae plant Purple Silybum marianum. The main active ingredients are Silybin, isosybinin, Silybum marianum and Silyphine, which can prevent damage to the liver caused by chemical toxins, food toxins and drugs, and promote the regeneration and repair of liver cells, it is called "natural hepatoprotective medicine". White crystalline powder at room temperature, odorless, slightly bitter taste, hygroscopic, soluble in acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, slightly soluble in chloroform, almost insoluble in water. Silibinin is also known as heparin, milk thistle, milk thistle, milk thistle total flavonoids, silimaling, yiganling, silymarin, ligalon, as early as 2000 years ago, the ancient Chinese used milk thistle to treat liver and gallbladder diseases, clinical shows that it has obvious protection and stability of liver cell membrane; it has different degrees of protective and therapeutic effects on various types of liver injury caused by liver poisons such as carbon tetrachloride, thioacetamide, muscarinic, phalloidin, and has a certain preventive effect on the increase of alanine aminotransferase caused by carbon tetrachloride. It is suitable for the treatment of chronic persistent hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, initial cirrhosis, liver poisoning and other diseases. In addition, this product also has strong antioxidant properties, can remove free radicals in the human body, delay aging, and has been widely used in medicine, health products, food and cosmetics and other fields. |
