Optimization of Methanol Extraction Technology for Tripterine in the Fruit of Celastrus monospermus by Orthogonal Design / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the methanol extraction technology of tripterine in the fruit of Celastrus monospermus. METHODS:HPLC was adopted to determine the content of tripterine. Using extraction time,extraction times,solid-liquid ratio as investigation factors,extraction rate of tripterine as investigation index,orthogonal test was designed,and verification test was con-ducted. RESULTS:The optimal methanol extraction technology was as follow as 45% methanol extracting 2 h each time with sol-id-liquid ratio of 1:8 for 3 times. In the verification test,the average extraction rate of tripterine was 0.917 mg/g(RSD=2.85%, n=3). CONCLUSIONS:The optimized methanol extraction technology is stable and feasible with high extraction rate,and is suit-able for the extraction of tripterine in the fruit of C. monospermus.
