Preparation of polyprenyl acetates from leaves of Ginkgo biloba / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Object To develop a method for the separation and purification of polyprenyl acetates from the leaves of Ginkgo biloba L Methods Lipids, including polyprenyl acetates were extracted by petroleum ether, and adsorbed by silica gel to remove most of the polar impurities After removing wax from the partially purified extract, it was further purified with silica gel chromatography Results Finally, a mixture of homologues polyprenyl acetate was obtained The purity of which as determined by HPLC external standard method was 84% Conclusion This procedure is simple and relatively effective
