Research Progress in Extraction and Purification of Stilbene Glucoside from Polygoni Multiflori Radix / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

Stilbene glucoside is one of major active constitutions in Polygoni Multiflori Radix. Stilbene glucoside contributed markedly to resisting caducity, protecting nerve, reducing serum lipids, and protecting liver and antitumor activity. The extraction and purification technology is the key issue to obtain stilbene glucoside. Through research, extraction and purification technology has made a certain progress. The stilbene glycoside could be extracted by water boiling, diacolation, and backflow; then it could be purified by the method of chromatography, recrystallization, and extraction. In this article, the technologies in extracting and purifying stilbene glucoside were reviewed, and the prospect of stilbene glucoside preparation was discussed to lay the foundation for further research and application.
