Optimization of Extraction and Purification Technology of Total Flavonoids from Engelhardia roxburghi-ana and Content Determination of 3 Kinds of Effective Components / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extraction and purification technology of total flavonoids from Engelhardia roxburghi-ana,and to establish the method for the content determination of 3 kinds of effective components. METHODS:Using the extrac-tion transfer rate of astilbin as index,single factor test was used to investigate extraction solvent,extraction method,volume frac-tion of percolation solvent ethanol,percolation material-liquid ration,soaking time before percolation and percolation rate of extrac-tion technology,and volume fraction of eluant ethanol in AB-8 resin purification technology. The contents of 3 effective compo-nents as astilbin,texifolin and engelitin in total flavonoids from E. roxburghiana were determined by HPLC. RESULTS:The opti-mal extraction technology was using 70% ethanol as extraction and percolation solvent,percolation extraction,soaking for 8 h be-fore percolation,percolation material-liquid ratio of 1∶16(g/ml),percolation rate of 30 ml/(min·kg). The purification technology was diluting the solution to 0.5 g (crude drug)/ml with water,ethyl acetate extraction,dissolved extract with 50% ethanol after evaporated to dryness,AB-8 resin for sampling,eluted with 50% ethanol,concentrating and drying. In verification test,extraction transfer rate of astilbin was more than 80%(RSD=0.42%,n=3). The contents of astilbin,taxifolin and engeletin in total flavo-noids from E. roxburghiana by purified were 57.94%,3.72% and 2.83%,respectively;the contents of 3 components accounted for 64.00% of total flavonoids. CONCLUSIONS:The extraction and purification technology is stable,rational and reliable;the content determination method of 3 effective components in total flavonoids of E. roxburghiana is accurate,simple and producible.
