ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the high-efficiency green environmental extraction method of total flavones from Microcos paniculata (MPTF), and investigate its lipid-lowering activity. Methods: The ionic liquid was used to assist the ultrasonic extraction of MPTF, and the extraction process was investigated by single factor experiment and orthogonal test. Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group and positive control group (Resuvastatin Calcium Tablets 5.2 mg/kg) by high fat diet, high-fat model group and MPTF low, medium and high dose groups (ig dose MPTF 300, 600, 900 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. The total cholesterol (TC), glycerol lipid (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) levels were determinated. Results: The optimum process conditions for ultrasonic-assisted extraction of MPTF by ionic liquid were as follow ionic liquid was [BMIM]Cl at concentration of 0.30 mol/L; ratio of material to liquid was 140, extraction solvent was 60% ethanol aqueous solution with extraction time of 30 min at 50 ℃. The verification test results showed that the extraction rate of total flavonoids obtained from the extraction process was high and the process was stable. The results of lipid-lowering test showed that the levels of TC, TG and LDL-C were decreased in all doses of MPTF groups, and the level of HDL-C was increased (P < 0.05). With the increase of MPTF dose, the indicators showed obvious trends in a dese-dependent manner. Conclusion: The ionic liquid combined with ultrasonic- assisted extraction of MPTF is stable and feasible, which provides reference for ionic liquid synergistic ultrasound-assisted extraction of poorly soluble active ingredients in Chinese materia medica. MPTF extract has better lipid-lowering effect.
