coenzyme Q10 - Physical and chemical properties
Open Data Unverified Data
- Coenzyme Q10 (CoEnzymeQ10), also known as Ubiquinone (UQ), is a fat-soluble quinone compound existing in nature, and has a structure similar to vitamin K, vitamin E and hydroquinone. In the human body cells involved in energy production and activation, is the prevention of arteriosclerosis formation of the most effective antioxidant ingredients.
- The ubiquinone molecule contains a side chain consisting of a plurality of isoprene units attached to the parent core of p-benzoquinone, the length of which varies depending on the origin of the ubiquinone, it generally contains n = 6-10 isoprene units. For mammals, n = 10, thus also known as Coenzyme Q10.
- the quinone structure in the molecule makes ubiquinone have two forms: oxidized (ubiquinone, Coenzyme Q10) and reduced (Ubiquinol, Ubiquinol), these two forms can be converted into each other in cells, which is the basis of ubiquinone as an electron transport body. The gain and loss of electrons in ubiquinone can be carried out in two steps, that is, one electron can be transferred at a time, or two electrons can be transferred simultaneously in one step.
- ubiquinone is present in most eukaryotic cells, especially mitochondria. It is one of the components of the respiratory chain; Its content in the inner mitochondrial membrane is much higher than the content of other components of the respiratory chain, and the fat solubility makes it highly mobile on the inner membrane, it is particularly suitable as a mobile electron transport body.
- the benzoquinone moiety in ubiquinone is synthesized in vivo using tyrosine as a raw material, while the isoprene side chain is synthesized from acetyl-CoA raw material via the mevalonate pathway. Thus, beta-blockers and statins, which act by blocking the mevalonate pathway, also affect the synthesis of ubiquinone in vivo when used.

Open Data Verified Data
- Alcohol-alkali saponification production method. After the extraction of cytochrome C, the heart residue was rinsed with water to remove (NH4)2 S04 and fat, spin dried, and then mixed with pyrogallic acid. In addition, add about 2 times the amount of ethanol in the reflux tank, add solid caustic soda, stir and dissolve, and prepare alcohol alkali solution with alkali concentration of about 10%(W/V), then put the slag mixed with pyrogallic acid, quickly heated to boiling, reflux 25~30min saponification. Then it was rapidly cooled to room temperature, and an appropriate amount of 120# gasoline was added to the cooled saponified product, followed by extraction three times to complete the extraction. The extracts were combined and washed repeatedly with water to near neutrality. The extract after washing with water was concentrated to about 1/10 of the original volume under reduced pressure, and precipitated impurities (mainly cholesterol) were removed by low-temperature filtration. The clear filtrate was added to a silica gel column. First, the impurities were removed by washing with No. 120 gasoline, and then eluted with a mixture of ether and steam and oil (1:10, volume ratio), and the eluent of the yellow band portion was collected. In the yellow oily eluent, add the appropriate amount of anhydrous ethanol, warm to dissolve completely. Filtration while hot, The filtrate was placed in a refrigerator to complete crystallization. The crystals were filtered, recrystallized in anhydrous ethanol or chromatographed on silica gel column to obtain Coenzyme Q10 with higher purity. In addition to the above saponification method, there are solvent direct extraction method and solvent extraction saponification method. The yield of the solvent extraction method was not as good as that of the saponification method, but the application of pyrogallic acid was omitted. Larger amounts of pyrogallic acid may produce ethoxy derivatives during the saponification process, which may also be filled with nitrogen. N-hexane, n-heptane, isooctane, cyclohexane, diethyl ether and mixed solvents of ethanol and diethyl ether can be used to extract coenzyme Q10. The adsorbent for chromatographic purification can be silica gel, alumina and the like.

coenzyme Q10 - Production method
Open Data Unverified Data
Semi-synthesis
The semi-synthetic process developed at present is to obtain Coenzyme Q10 by bromination, etherification and oxidation of p-methylphenol as raw material to obtain methyl dimethoxy benzene, and then condensation with solanesol extracted from tobacco or potato leaves. The key to this approach is how to attach the side chain to the parent ring.
total synthesis
The total synthesis process developed by Eem and Kanan in 1988 to produce Coenzyme Q10 is the only successful total synthesis technology at present, but it is difficult to synthesize the linear unsaturated side chain. And the synthesis conditions are harsh, and there is a certain distance from industrialization.
fermentation method
The production of coenzyme Q1o by microbial fermentation was realized in 197. This production process is considered to be the most promising synthesis process. In recent years, microbial fermentation has become a hot spot of development at home and abroad. The main strains for producing Coenzyme Q10 were tricylobacter rugosa, tricylobacter denitrificans, and methanogens.
plant cell culture method
The Plant Cell culture technique is a technique in which a part of a plant body is aseptically treated, and then placed on an artificial medium to proliferate its cells, and then cultured as needed. All parts of the plant, such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, anthers and pollen, can be used as explants to start cell culture, the transfer of callus to a liquid medium for culture is called suspension culture.
Biological extraction method
- Alcohol-alkali saponification production method the yield of coenzyme Q10 in this process is 61.2mg kg fresh pig heart, which is a commonly used process in China. In the presence of ethanol, long-term saponification may result in transposition of methoxy groups in Coenzyme Q10 and ethoxy groups in ethanol to produce mono-or BIS-ethoxy derivatives, in order to avoid the formation of these impurities. KOH can be used instead of NaOH and methanol saponification, but also must be added pyroic acid, otherwise Coenzyme Q10 in the saponification process is completely destroyed, the amount of 5%-7% of the starting material, nitrogen can be introduced into the saponification process.
- Alcohol-ether mixed extraction method, the process of alcohol-alkali saponification manufacturing process is similar, but the saponification reaction is omitted. Biological extraction is the world's oldest basic production process, for some time was the only method of production of Coenzyme Q10. However, due to the low content of coenzyme Q10 in animals and plants, the complex chemical composition and the limited source of raw materials (mainly extracted from fresh liver of animals), the products are of high cost and high price, large-scale production has been limited.

coenzyme Q10 - How to Choose
Open Data Unverified Data
A look at the production process
The production process of coenzyme Q10 is varied, and there are five methods, such as biological extraction method, animal and plant cell culture method, semi chemical synthesis method, full chemical synthesis method and microbial fermentation method. Among them, coenzyme Q10 prepared by biological extraction method, semi-chemical synthesis method and full chemical synthesis method has certain defects, which may have an impact on human health. Only the microbial fermentation method is the most advanced, the production of coenzyme 10 is of great help to health. The regret of microbial fermentation is the high cost, which is 2-3 times of other processes.
two look at the purification technology
high temperature purification is easy to lose the activity of enzyme, low temperature and ultra low temperature purification method of coenzyme Q10 quality.
three look at scientific research power
modern society is a science and technology society, and the quality of products is often determined by its scientific research team.
Four look at the production line:
coenzyme products with soft capsules are most easily absorbed by the human body, hard capsule absorption is not ideal. Production enterprises must pass the national GMP or EU GMP certification.
also need to choose according to the physical condition of the taking personnel
- two forms of coenzyme Q10: Ubiquinol-Ubiquinol, Ubiquinone. Among them, Ubiquinol-panthenol is more easily absorbed by the human body and suitable for older people with relatively low metabolic capacity. And relatively for the usual as health care products are not required in this regard. Generally younger people take little demand, can be converted into Ubiquinol in the body.
- In addition, when purchasing, you need to check the concentration and content. Many merchants are labeled 500mg or more, but in fact 500mg is the weight of the entire pill. Generally labeled "X grams of CQ10 per 100 grams", or "greater than how much". A lot of calculated CQ10 content is 100mg or less, and then consider whether the human body absorption factors: if the maintenance of healthy body needs, about the daily dosage is 30-60mg is enough, if the individual factor pathology needs to be increased to 100-300mg, it is recommended to take it several times a day and absorb about 60mg-100mg each time. Not recommended daily intake of more than 400mg of the amount of absorption does not make sense. In addition, it is not recommended to take high concentrations for a long time, which will lead to defects in the ability to synthesize coenzyme Q10.
Coenzyme Q10
The clinical detection of coenzyme Q10 is difficult, but it is of great significance. The clinical detection of coenzyme Q10 is mainly to detect the concentration in plasma.
- plasma CoQ10 content is Mortality Rate independent predictor of chronic heart failure. The lower the CoQ10 concentration and CoQ10/lipid ratio, the lower the survival rate. CoQ10 deficiency may be an important pathogenesis of chronic heart failure.
- plasma CoQ10 content is an important indicator of cardiovascular disease. A large number of clinical studies have found that the plasma CoQ10 level is significantly lower in patients with cardiovascular disease, therefore, it is considered that people with low plasma CoQ10 levels are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

coenzyme Q10 - Functional use
Anti-Aging
- Coenzyme Q10 has two main functions in the body. One is that it plays an important role in the process of energy conversion in mitochondria, and the other is that it has obvious anti-lipid peroxidation effect. It is an energy converter in the mitochondria of cells that participates in the "tricarboxylic acid cycle" by transferring and transmitting electrons to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), an energy factor for cellular metabolism. At the age of 20, the ability of self-synthesized Coenzyme Q10 reached its peak, and maintained to about 50 years old. Later will decline year by year, because the storage of coenzyme Q10 cell mitochondrial DNA material is destroyed by oxygen free radicals, resulting in the reduction of self-synthesis of Coenzyme Q10. As a result, the metabolic function of human cells, especially heart cells, decreased, and the "old dragon clock" appeared.
- the experiment proves that coenzyme Q10 in vivo can directly react with peroxide radicals and regenerate vE by changing into alcohol form, and exert the effect of antioxidant independently and synergistically with vE. In vitro experiments also found that the antioxidant Coenzyme Q10 can protect mammalian cells from mitochondrial oxidative stress-induced apoptosis, and tumor necrosis factor-(TNF-) or oncogene inhibitors have no such effect, clinical studies have shown that oral Coenzyme Q10 for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease and other mitochondrial dysfunction and aging related neurodegenerative diseases have a significant effect.
- the relationship between aging and mitochondrial coenzyme Q10 concentration shows that the decrease of mitochondrial coenzyme Q10 concentration is an important aspect of skeletal muscle aging. An experimental study of aging rats showed that the content of coenzyme Q10 in heart mitochondria of aging rats was decreased, and the content of coenzyme Q10 in liver and skeletal muscle was lower. The decline in immune function with age is the result of free radical and free radical reactions. Coenzyme Q10 is a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger, which is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane lipid bimolecular as a component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, the two electrons received from the mitochondrial complex I or complex II are then converted to alcohol, and the electrons are transferred to complex III. Coenzyme Q10 in the body is largely consumed into alcohol, which is both an effective antioxidant and an electron carrier for movement, and it converts hydrogen atoms from their hydroxyl groups to lipid peroxidation free radicals, the lipid peroxide response in the inner mitochondrial membrane is thus reduced. In this process, a free radical pansemiquinone, which is not proportional to the alcohol form of coenzyme Q10 and coenzyme Q10, or reacts with oxygen to form superoxide, free radical ubiquinone in the role of superoxide dismutase and catalase transport free radicals to achieve detoxification, so that the circulation of the respiratory chain will be Coenzyme Q10 continuously regenerated alcohol, restore its antioxidant activity.
- The decline in immune function with age is the result of free radicals and free radical reactions, coenzyme Q10 as a strong antioxidant used alone or with vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) the combined use can inhibit the modification of the microtubule system of the receptors on immune cells, which is related to cell differentiation and activity, enhance the immune system and delay aging.
- the increase of wrinkles and the aging of the skin are related to the content of Q10. The lower the content, the more the skin is aged, and the more the facial wrinkles are. Q10 can be taken orally, when the cells contain enough Q10 that the energy metabolism will be enhanced, scavenging free radicals, ease wrinkles aggravated.
- In addition, skin care products containing Coenzyme Q10 can also be rubbed, and the absorption of coenzyme Q10 by cells can be increased by improving external use, thereby reducing the formation of wrinkles.
Anti-Fatigue
- in the mid -70 s, the theory of Miller's chemical permeability hypothesis revealed the energy conversion in vivo and the important role of coenzyme Q10 in the mitochondrial energy conversion system.
- Coenzyme Q10 is a coenzyme of at least three mitochondrial enzymes (multienzyme complexes I, II and III), its chemical structure is a 2,3 dimethoxy 5 methyl 1,4 benzoquinone derivative with a ten unit isoprene side chain attached to the carbon at position 6.
- its quinone ring plays a role in the transfer of electrons and protons in the oxidative respiratory chain. This role is not only essential for all forms of life, but also the key to the formation of ATP. ATP is the main form of storage of the body's energy, but also an important basis for the normal functioning of all cells, Coenzyme Q102.2 detection wavelength: the biological activity of 275nm mainly comes from the redox characteristics of its quinone ring and the physical and chemical properties of its side chain. It is a natural antioxidant and cell metabolism promoter produced by the cell itself, which can protect and restore the integrity of the biofilm structure and stabilize the membrane potential. It is a non-specific immune enhancer of the body, therefore, it shows an excellent anti-fatigue effect. Coenzyme Q10 keeps the cells in a good and healthy state, so the body is full of vitality, energy and energy.
Antioxidant
- the etiology and pathology of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are still unclear, and studies have shown that oxidative stress is a cause of the disease, experiments found that CFS patients have different degrees of oxidative stress, although the oxidative damage is the cause of the disease or the results need to be further observed, but the antioxidant Coenzyme Q10 has been successfully used in the prevention and treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome.
- In addition, the antioxidant activity of coenzyme Q10 makes it have a certain inhibitory effect on the formation and development of atherosclerosis. And its oxidation resistance makes the membrane stable, metabolic cardiac and reverse left ventricular hypertrophy and other good effects, in cardiovascular disease is increasingly widely used.
Anti-Tumor
research shows that coenzyme Q10 has anti-tumor effect, clinical for advanced metastatic cancer has certain curative effect, in the prevention of coronary heart disease, relieve periodontitis, the treatment of duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer, enhance Human immune function and relieve angina pectoris has a significant effect.
Security
Since coenzyme Q10 is an OTC product on the US and European markets, and several well-designed clinical trials have shown that oral Coenzyme Q10 is beneficial for a variety of cardiovascular diseases, therefore, based on its efficacy and safe and reliable characteristics, even for a long time, oral administration of large doses of coenzyme Q10, patients can be well tolerated.
Antihypertensive
significant research conducted by the Argentina Institute of Neuroscience has shown that oral administration of 100mg of coenzyme Q10 within an hour in patients with high blood pressure can enhance brain treatment and agility.
Skin protection
- Local experiments show that with the increase of age, the ability of skin collagen to resist the damage of ultraviolet and other oxidative irritants decreases, and long-term use of coenzyme Q10 can effectively prevent skin aging and reduce wrinkles around the eyes, because the penetration of coenzyme Q10 into the skin growth layer can weaken the oxidation reaction of photons, with the help of tocopherol can start specific phosphorylated tyrosine kinase, prevent DNA oxidative damage, inhibit the expression of human skin fibroblast collagenase under ultraviolet light irradiation, protect the skin from damage. Extensive studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 inhibits lipid peroxidation, reduces the generation of free radicals, protects the active center of SOD and its structure from free radical oxidative damage, and improves the activity of SOD and other enzymes in vivo, inhibition of oxidative stress induced apoptosis, has a significant role in anti-oxidation, anti-aging.
- can deepen the cells, strengthen the metabolic function of the cells, and the ability of the active cells to tightly combine with each other. On the other hand, in the epidermal layer, the elastic network structure of the gel is indeed repaired due to the loss of water, and then achieve a real moisturizing effect.
- Features: can repair the skin of the skin, such as thin skin or skin atrophy caused by the use of medicinal cosmetics, can be used for 3-6 months to improve.
- for the introduction can increase the absorption of active ingredients, and increase the resistance of cells, the effect is the most perfect, improve the skin water shortage problem is more thorough.

heart protection
coenzyme Q-10 helps to provide sufficient oxygen to the myocardium and prevent sudden heart attack. Coenzyme Q10 plays a key role in the process of myocardial hypoxia.
Adjunctive drugs
statins inhibit cholesterol synthesis and also inhibit the production of coenzyme Q10 in the body. Elderly patients are more likely to suffer from Coenzyme Q10 deficiency, in the use of statin drugs must be supplemented with coenzyme Q10. Rapid relief of statin-induced myalgia and fatigue counteracts statin-related myalgia and liver damage.
Enhanced energy
- experiments show that coenzyme Q10 can greatly promote heart health, and an appropriate amount of coenzyme Q10 in the human body is necessary for proper muscle function. Biochemical analysis of muscle cell extract showed that the activity of mitochondrial complex I + II and complex I + III was seriously decreased when the concentration of coenzyme Q10 was lower than normal 20%.
- Several studies have clearly shown that supplementation of coenzyme Q10 at 100-150mg/day can significantly improve the condition of people suffering from muscular dystrophy. Strenuous physical exercise reduces the blood content of coenzyme Q10, and a daily supplement of 60mg has been found to improve the skills of athletes.
