RESUMO
[Objectivs] To investigate the principle of AgNO3-processed silica gel chromatography in isolation and purification of mixtures with carbon-carbon double bonds (CCDB) from herbal medicine. [Methods] AgN03-processed gel chromatography was used for the isolation of mixtures with carbon-carbon double bonds in the volatile oils and active components from Pteris semipinnata L. ; silver-ion complexion chromatography was applied to isolate arachidom'c acid from lipids. The principle of AgNO3-processed silica gel chromatography was analyzed by coordination theory. [Results] Stable AgNO3 coordinate complexes were obtained. [ Conclusion ] The principle of the formation of stable AgNO3 coordinate complexes may be: (1) the stability will increase with CCDB in free space; (2) exocyclic CCDB is more stable than that of intra-cyclic CCDB; (3) cis-form CCDB is more stable than that of trans-form CCDB; (4) terminal CCDB is more stable than that of cis-form CCDB; (5) aromatic hydrocarbon with multiple benzene rings is more stable than that with single ber zene ring. The possible principle will benefit to the isolation and purification of the mixtures with CCDB, which have similar structure and physiochemical property and are difficult to be isolated and purified by common chromatography and extriction method.
