Optimization of purification process for total alkaloids from Longzuan Tongbi Recipe with macroporous resin by central composite design and response surface method / 中草药

ABSTRACT

bjective To optimize the optimal purification technology for total alkaloids from Longzuan Tongbi Recipe (LTR). Methods Five types of macroporous resins were used to adsorb and desorb the total alkaloids in LTR, and the adsorption capacities, adsorption ratios and desorption ratios of total alkaloids were regarded as the indexes to screen out the suitable resin. The purification technology for total alkaloids was optimized from LTR by single factor investigation and central composite design and response surface method. Results The best purification technology of total alkaloid from LTR were determined as follows the concentration of sample solution of 0.17 g/mL (crude drug) with pH 1.7, sample flow rate at 1 mL/min, washing impurity with 9-column volume of 80% ethanol at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The mass scores of total alkaloids was 22.23% and the yield of that was 173.27 mg/g. Conclusion HPD100 resin has good purification effect on total alkaloids from LTR, which could provide reference for the further study of pharmacodynamics.
