Isovaleric acid. See what “isovaleric acid” is in other dictionaries

Isovaleric acid is widely used in medicine; in a modified chemical formula it is present in validol (menthyl ester of isovaleric acid with a small amount of menthol solution), in bromoisovaleric acid. And for the synthesis of other sedative drugs - valocordin, corvalol, etc.

In the food industry, ethyl, pentyl and isoamyl esters of isovaleric acid are used.

In the chemical industry it is used for the chemical synthesis of 2-amino-3-methylbutanoic acid racemates.

In the perfume industry, isovaleric acid esters are used - they have various fruity odors and are used as flavoring agents.

The rhizome contains 0.3-2% essential oil. The main component of the essential oil is bornyl isovalerate, isovaleric acid, borneol, valepotriate.

Isovaleric acid:

Valepotriat: iridoids

DV is defined as the unknown nature of DV or when the method of their determination is unknown

Method of determination: Add 70% alcohol or chemical mixture for 2 hours. The extractant extracts all extractive substances, evaporate for concentration. the extractant evaporates. + NH4OH (for the hydrolysis of esters of valeric acid) + FeCl3

FEC x=D*100*20*100/10.5*a*5*(100-W)

The extractant is standardized. This is a special group of liquid and dry extracts. The mixture is intended for the quick preparation of infusions and decoctions. Honey. extracts are prepared from standard medicinal plants 2:1 (from 1 unit of medicinal plant 2 parts of liquid extract). 40% ethanol is used as an extractant to bring the extract closer to the aqueous extract in terms of the composition of the extracted substances.

Scheme: extraction, purification, evaporation, drying, standardization.

Infusion: the swollen or dry material is loaded tightly into the percolator onto a sieve bottom so that as little air as possible remains in the raw material. it is pressed from above with a perforated disk. The extractant is fed into the percolator from above in a continuous flow; as soon as the extractant begins to flow into the receiver, the percolator tap is closed, and the extractant is returned to the raw material in the extractor. After this, pure extractant is added to the percolator to the “mirror” level, and the maceration pause is maintained for 24-48 hours.

Percolation itself is the continuous passage of an extractant through a layer of raw materials and the collection of percolate. The tap at the percolator is opened, and the extractant is continuously supplied to the raw material. Percolation ends with obtaining an extract in one step when preparing tinctures, thick and dry extracts, or in two steps when producing liquid extracts.

Cleaning: settling for less than 2 days, temp. not less than 10C, filter through a druk filter.

Standardization: content of active substances, heavy metals; in liquids - + alcohol content or density, dry residue.

Determination of heavy metals. To 1 ml of liquid extract or 1 g of thick or dry extract, add 1 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid, carefully burn and calcinate. The resulting residue is treated by heating with 5 ml of saturated ammonium acetate solution. Filter through an ashless filter, wash with 5 ml of water and adjust the volume of the filtrate to 200 ml. 10 ml of the resulting solution must pass the test for heavy metals (no more than 0.01 % in the preparation) (SP XI, vol. 1, With. 165).


Determination of dry residue. 5 ml of liquid extract is placed in a weighed bottle, evaporated in a water bath and dried for 3 hours at (102.5 ± 2.5) °C, then cooled in a desiccator for 30 minutes and weighed.

Determination of moisture. About 0.5 g of the drug (exactly weighed) is dried in an oven at (102.5 ± 2.5) °C for 5 hours, then cooled in a desiccator for 30 minutes and weighed.

The advantages of using cell cultures are as follows:

the problem of shortage of raw materials, especially valuable endangered species that are not amenable to plantation cultivation, is being solved;

it is possible to obtain phytomass completely free from herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, etc.; there is the possibility of obtaining new substances that are not synthesized by the corresponding target plant; it is possible to control the biosynthesis of target products due to cultivation conditions, the composition of the nutrient medium and other methods;

there is the possibility of industrializing and reducing the cost of production of some biologically active substances, the synthesis of which has not yet been developed or is very expensive.

In addition to the essential oil, the underground organs of valerian contain the main sedative active substances called valepotriates.

These compounds are iridoid epoxides in which the cyclopentanepyran skeleton has 5 hydroxyl groups. Two hydroxyls form an epoxide (cyclic ether), and the remaining three are esterified with isovaleric and acetic acids.


VALEPOTRIAT-VALTRAT BALDRINAL

Depending on the esterifying acids, different valepotriates are distinguished. During the drying process of freshly dug rhizomes, valepotriates are partially subjected to enzymatic cleavage with the formation of free isovaleric acid or its analogues and the iridoid, baldrinal. In this case, the raw material acquires the characteristic smell of valerian.

Harvesting, primary processing, drying

Rhizomes with roots that are dug by hand. On plantations there is a valerian digger (potato digger). They are removed in September. The dug up rhizomes with roots are shaken off the ground, the above-ground part is cut off, thick rhizomes are cut lengthwise, and quickly and thoroughly washed from the ground. Dry under cover for 2 days and dry in dryers at a temperature not exceeding 35-40°C. The color of roots and rhizomes is from light brown to dark brown. The smell is strong, aromatic, unique.

Standardization

The quality of raw materials is regulated by Global Fund XI and is determined by the content of extractive substances (at least 25% when extracting with 70% alcohol) and isovaleric acid, with a content of at least 1% (roots and rhizomes). FS 42-1530-89 (fresh rhizomes and roots). TU-64-4-44-83 – (valerian herb).

Medicinal raw materials

Whole or cut along the rhizome up to 4 cm long, up to 3 cm thick. Numerous thin adventitious roots extend from the rhizome. The smell is strong and specific. The outside color of the rhizome and roots is yellowish-brown.

Storage

Store raw materials in cool, dry rooms on racks separately from non-aromatic types of raw materials. The shelf life of dried valerian raw materials is 3 years, fresh - 3 days.

Main action. Calming.

Application

Valerian preparations reduce the excitability of the central nervous system, enhance the effect of sleeping pills, and have antispasmodic properties. They are used as sedatives for nervous excitement, insomnia, neuroses of the cardiovascular system, spasms of the gastrointestinal tract (often in combination with other sedatives and cardiac drugs).



The calming effect of valerian appears slowly, but quite steadily. In patients, the feeling of tension and irritability disappears, and sleep improves.

Preparations: infusion, decoction, tincture, thick and dry valerian extracts.

Valocormid– a combined preparation (containing valerian tincture) - a sedative and antispasmodic. Used for cardiovascular neuroses accompanied by bradycardia.

Valosedan– combined preparation (containing valerian extract) – sedative

Corvalol– a combination preparation (containing ethyl ester of a-bromoisovaleric acid). Used for neuroses, insomnia, in the early stages of hypertension, spasms of the coronary vessels.

Valocordin– a combined drug in composition and action close to Corvalol.

Dormiplant– combined preparation (containing dry extract of valerian root and lemon balm leaves) – sedative effect.

A tincture is obtained from fresh valerian raw materials, which is part of a complex preparation - Cardiovalena .

Valerian herb is used to obtain an extract that is part of drinks.
