Purification of the Total Flavonoids from Cacumen Platycladi with Macroporous Adsorption Resin / 中药新药与临床药理

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the process conditions of purifying the total flavonoids from Cacumen Platycladi by AB-8 resin. Methods Spectrophotometric method was used to detect the total flavonoids,and HPLC was used to determine quercitrin and analyze the characteristic peaks of Fingerprint. Results The purification effect was satisfactory when the concentration of original solution of the extract of Cacumen Platycladi was 0.20 g?mL-1,the loading amount was 0.375 g of Cacumen Platycladi per 1 mL of wet AB-8 resin,the adsorption velocity was 1 mL?min-1,the eluant was 70 %alcohol being 4 times as much as the resin volume,and the elution velocity was 2 mL?min-1. AB-8 resin could be used for 3 times repeatedly after being reproduced by 95 %of ethanol and 1 moL?L-1 of natrium hydroxydatum (NaOH). The remaining rate of the total flavonoids and quercitrin was over 70 %and 95 %respectively,and the remaining rate of peaks 1～3 was over 90 %. After being purified by the B-8 resin,the contents of the total flavonoids and quercitrin were raised 2.48 times and 3.29 times more than those before purification respectively. Conclusion AB-8 resin is fit for separating and purifying the total flavonoids from Cacumen Platycladi.
