Separation and purification of baicalin and wogonoside from the Chinese medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi by high-speed counter-current chromatography.

A preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) method for isolation and purification of baicalin and wogonoside from the Chinese medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Huang-qin in Chinese) was successfully established by using ethyl acetate-methanol-1% acetic acid water (5:0.5:5, v/v) as the two-phase solvent system. The upper phase of ethyl acetate-methanol-1% acetic acid water (5:0.5:5, v/v) was used as the stationary phase of HSCCC. Baicalin (58.1 mg) and wogonoside (17.0mg) with the purity of 99.2 and 99.0%, respectively, were separated successfully in one-step separation from 120 mg of crude sample from S. baicalensi, Georgi.

One-step purification of alpha-amylase from the cultivation supernatant of recombinant bacillus subtilis by high-speed counter-current chromatography with aqueous polymer two-phase systems.

Purification of alpha-amylase from the cultivation supernatant of recombinant Bacillus subtilis by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) in polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000-inorganic salt aqueous polymer two-phase systems was studied. The effects of sodium chloride concentration on the partition coefficients of alpha-amylase and total protein were respectively tested in PEG4000-phosphate and PEG4000-citrate aqueous polymer two-phase systems to find the proper range of sodium chloride concentration for the HSCCC purification of alpha-amylase. Alpha-amylase was purified from the cultivation supernatant by HSCCC in PEG4000-phosphate system containing 2% (w/w) sodium chloride, yet with considerable loss of activity. PEG4000-citrate aqueous polymer two-phase system containing 2% (w/w) sodium chloride and supplemented with 0.56% (w/w) CaCl2 as protective agent was then successfully applied to purify alpha-amylase from cultivation supernatant by HSCCC to homogeneity and significantly increased the recovery of alpha-amylase activity from around 30 to 73.1%.

Large-scale isolation of flavan-3-ol phloroglucinol adducts by high-speed counter-current chromatography.

Flavan-3-ol phloroglucinol adducts were synthesised through acid catalysed degradation of a procyanidins-rich grape seed extract in the presence of phloroglucinol. The reaction mixture (3.3 g) was fractionated without further sample preparation using the all-liquid chromatographic technique of high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). Selected solvent systems were hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (0.1:5:0.1:5, v/v/v/v) and (1.5:10:1.5:10, v/v/v/v). The fractions obtained were found to contain almost pure compounds, in some cases final purification was achieved by preparative HPLC. The so-obtained pure standards of (+)catechin-(4alpha-->2)-phloroglucinol, (-)epicatechin-(4beta-->2)-phloroglucinol, (+)catechine, (-)epicatechin-3-O-galloyl-(4beta-->2)-phloroglucinol, (-)epicatechin, and (-)epicatechin gallate are required for quantification of acid-catalysed phloroglucinol degradation products of procyanidins.

Isolation of carotenoids from plant materials and dietary supplements by high-speed counter-current chromatography.

Methods for the isolation of lipophilic pigments from crude extracts of plant materials (spinach and sweet corn) by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) were developed. Particular attention was given to (all-E)-lutein and (all-E)-zeaxanthin. However, the concomitant pigments neoxanthin, violaxanthin and beta-carotene as well as chlorophylls a and b were also considered. Furthermore, for the first time dietary supplements containing lutein and zeaxanthin were also used as a source for the recovery of carotenoids. Due to their simple matrix (oily excipient in soft gelatine capsules), sample preparation was facilitated and consumption of solvents was minimized. The carotenoids were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, by LC/APcI-MS in the positive ionization mode, and by UV-vis spectroscopy. Data showed that the target compounds were of high purity (90 - 93%). Lutein and zeaxanthin may be used as reference substances for analytical purposes.

Semi-industrial isolation of salicin and amygdalin from plant extracts using slow rotary counter-current chromatography.

Salicin in the bark extract of Salix alba and amygdalin in the fruit extract of Semen armeniacae were each separated by slow rotary counter-current chromatography (SRCCC). The apparatus was equipped with a 40-L column made of 17 mm i.d. convoluted Teflon tubing. A 500g amount of crude extract containing salicin at 13.5% was separated yielding 63.5 g of salicin at 95.3% purity in 20h using methyl tert-butyl ether-l-butanol (1:3) saturated by methanol-water (1:5) as a stationary phase and methanol-water (1:5) saturated by methyl tert-butyl ether-1-butanol (1:3) as a mobile phase. A 400g amount of crude extract containing amygdalin at 55.3% was isolated to yield 221.2g of amygdalin at 94.1% purity in 19h using ethyl acetate-1-butanol (1:2) saturated by water as a stationary phase and water saturated by ethyl acetate-1-butanol (1:2) as a mobile phase. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 50 ml/min. The results show that industrial SRCCC separation of salicin and amygdalin is feasible using a larger column at a higher flow rate of the mobile phase.
