Description

15 20 25 30 35 468 215 2 den högrena formen enligt föreliggande uppfinning, vilket har möjliggjort dess användning på människa och djur vid nya indikationsområden. Vid tidigare arbeten har oftast använts ett orent extrakt från Podophyllum- arter, s.k. "podophy1lin", vilket endast innehållit 20- 40 % podophyllotoxin. Vidare innehåller extraktet ett stort antal andra komponenter, såsom desoxipodophyllo- toxin, dehydropodophyllotoxin, a och B-peltatin, m fl, beroende av vilka arter som extraktet har utvunnits från. Flera av dessa andra komponenter har visat sig vara avsevärt mutagena. The highly pure form of the present invention, which has enabled its use in humans and animals in new indications. In previous works, an unclean extract from Podophyllum species, so-called "podophyllin", which contained only 20-40% podophyllotoxin. Furthermore, the extract contains a large number of other components, such as deoxypodophyllotoxin, dehydropodophyllotoxin, α and β-peltatin, etc., depending on the species from which the extract has been extracted. Several of these other components have been shown to be significantly mutagenic.

Föreningen podophyllotoxin har i rent tillstånd följande fysikaliska data: Smältpunkt: 183-184°C Två kristallina modifika- 160-16l°C tioner med lösningsmedels- fri substans optisk vridning [a]2°: - 132,5 (c 0,2 cHc13) Löslighet i vatten: 120 mg/l Podophyllotoxin och dess derivat kan utvinnas ur växtdelar, speciellt då rötter eller rhizomer, från olika arter av släktet Podophyllum, såsom P. emodi Wall. och P. peltatum L. Föreningen förekommer även i andra växtarter, t ex av släktet Juniperus, såsom J. virginiana L.The compound podophyllotoxin has in its pure state the following physical data: Melting point: 183-184 ° C Two crystalline modifications 160-16l ° C ions with solvent-free substance optical rotation [a] 2 °: - 132.5 (c 0.2 cHc13 ) Solubility in water: 120 mg / l Podophyllotoxin and its derivatives can be extracted from plant parts, especially roots or rhizomes, from different species of the genus Podophyllum, such as P. emodi Wall. and P. peltatum L. The compound also occurs in other plant species, for example of the genus Juniperus, such as J. virginiana L.

Vid framställning av högrent podophyllotoxin eller dess derivat enligt uppfinningen extraheras torkade och finmalda rhizomer av exempelvis Podophyllum emodi eller Podophyllum peltatum med t ex etylacetat, och extraktet koncentreras och filtreras genom kiselgel. Den önskade fraktionen av podophyllotoxin och derivat därav kroma- tograferas sedan på sur aluminiumoxid, och ger därvid en fraktion, som huvudsakligen innehåller de fem ligna- nerna deoxipodophyllotoxin, podophyllotoxon, isopikro- podophyllon, podophyllotoxin och 4'-demetylpodophyllo- toxin. Från denna blandning isoleras podophyllotoxin eller ett annat önskat derivat genom en omsorgsfull kromatografering på kiselgel, varefter den önskade n; 10 15 20 25 30 35 468 213 3 fraktionen omkristalliseras.In the preparation of high-purity podophyllotoxin or its derivatives according to the invention, dried and finely ground rhizomes of, for example, Podophyllum emodi or Podophyllum peltatum are extracted with, for example, ethyl acetate, and the extract is concentrated and filtered through silica gel. The desired fraction of podophyllotoxin and derivatives thereof is then chromatographed on acidic alumina to give a fraction which mainly contains the five lines deoxypodophyllotoxin, podophyllotoxone, isopicropodophyllone, podophyllotoxin and 4'-demethylpodophylloxine. From this mixture, podophyllotoxin or another desired derivative is isolated by careful chromatography on silica gel, after which the desired n; 10 15 20 25 30 35 468 213 3 the fraction is recrystallized.
