LC/MS guided isolation of alkaloids from lotus leaves by pH-zone-refining counter-current chromatography

The traditional methods used in natural product separation primarily target the major components and the minor components may thus be lost during the separation procedure. Consequently, it's necessary to develop efficient methods for the preparative separation and purification of relatively minor bioactive components. In this paper, a LC/MS method was applied to guide the separation of crude extract of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) leaves whereby a minor component was identified in the LC/MS analysis. Afterwards, an optimized pH-zone-refining CCC method was performed to isolate this product, identified as N-demethylarmepavine. The separation procedure was carried out with a biphasic solvent system composed of hexane-ethyl acetate-methyl alcohol-water (1:6:1:6, v/v) with triethylamine (10 mM) added to the upper organic phase as a retainer and hydrochloric acid (5 mM) to the aqueous mobile phase eluent. Two structurally similar compounds--nuciferine and roemerine--were also obtained from the crude lotus leaves extract. In total 500 mg of crude extract furnished 7.4 mg of N-demethylarmepavine, 45.3 mg of nuciferine and 26.6 mg of roemerine with purities of 90%, 92% and 96%, respectively. Their structures were further identified by HPLC/ESI-MSn, FTICR/MS and the comparison with reference compounds.     

Nelumbo nucifera leaves as source of water-repellent wax: Extraction through polar and non-polar organic solvents

Nelumbo nucifera leaves are rich source of natural wax possessing super-hydrophobic properties. It provides protection to them from ecological turbulences and climatic wear and tear. In this study, various experiments have been conducted to observe the yield of extraction and the determination of various functional groups, which are present in natural wax, derived from Nelumbo nucifera leaves. The natural wax has been extracted from lotus leaves through non-polar (hexane) and polar (ethanol) solvent via different extraction methods. The superhydrophobic wax has been successfully extracted with hexane. Whereas, ethanol did not extract the water-repellent wax of lotus leaf. Considering the cumulative amount, i.e. (desired + undesired), the maceration shows the extraction of 2.9% (%w/w, through hexane) and 10.2% (%w/w, through ethanol), while it was found 2.5% (%w/w, cycle period 15 min) and 9.0% (%w/w, cycle period 26 min) respectively, in case of Soxhlet extraction technique. For this specific case of natural wax recovery from biomass (lotus leaf), the maceration (traditional method) resulted a little bit superior extraction yield in comparison to the Soxhlet extraction method for extraction of crude wax. In the case of non-polar solvent (hexane), an extraction yield of 1.97% (%w/w) through maceration method was observed while in the case of non-polar solvent (ethanol), an extraction yield of 1.62% (%w/w) through Soxhlet extraction was observed. The TLC analysis on both types of extracts was performed. For the detection of various hydrocarbon chains in the crude wax extracts, FTIR was also performed. Topography of wax surface and wax-coated waterproof fabric was compared through SEM.     

Use of expanded bed adsorption to purify flavonoids from Ginkgo biloba L.

Three techniques (liquid–liquid extraction, packed bed adsorption and expanded bed adsorption) have been compared for the purification of flavonoids from the leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. A crude Ginkgo extract was obtained by refluxing with ethanol for 3 h. The yield of flavonoids achieved by this crude extraction was about 19% (w/w) and the purity of flavonoids in the concentrated extract was between 1.9 and 2.3% (w/w). The crude extract was then dissolved in deionized water and centrifuged where necessary to prepare clarified feedstock for further purification. For the method using liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate, the purity, concentration ratio and yield of flavonoids were 25.4–31.0%, 16–18 and >98%, respectively. For the method using packed bed adsorption, Amberlite XAD7HP was selected as the adsorbent and clarified extract was used as the feedstock. The dynamic adsorption breakthrough curves and elution profiles were measured. For a feedstock containing flavonoids at a concentration of 0.25 mg/mL, the appropriate loading volume to reach a 5% breakthrough point during the adsorption stage was estimated to be 550–600 mL for a packed bed of volume 53 mL and a flow rate of 183 cm/h. The results from the elution stage indicated that the majority of impurities were eluted by ethanol concentrations of 40% (v/v) or below and efficient separation of flavonoids from the impurities could be achieved by elution of the flavonoids with 50–80% ethanol reaching an average purity of ∼25%. The recovery yield of flavonoids using the packed bed purification method was about 60% of the flavonoids present in the clarified feedstock (corresponding to around 30% for the total flavonoids in the unclarified crude extract). For the method using expanded bed adsorption also conducted with Amberlite XAD7HP as the adsorbent, the optimal operation conditions scouted during the packed bed experiments were used but unclarified crude extract could be loaded directly into the column. For an expanded bed with a settled bed height of 30 cm, the loss of flavonoids in the column flow-through was about 30%. The two-step elution protocol again proved to be effective in separating the adsorbed impurities and flavonoids. More than 96% of the bound impurities were completely removed by 40% ethanol in the first elution stage and less than 4% remained in the final product eluted by 90% ethanol in the second elution stage. Also, ∼74% of the adsorbed flavonoids on column (corresponding to 51% of the total flavonoids in the unclarified feedstock) were recovered in the product. In addition to higher recovery yield, the average process time to obtain the same amount of product was decreased in the expanded bed adsorption (EBA) process. The results suggest that the adoption of EBA procedures can greatly simplify the process flow sheet and in addition reduce the cost and time to purify flavonoids from Ginkgo biloba. These results clearly demonstrate the potential for the use of EBA to purify pharmaceuticals from plant sources.     

Quantitative determination of the group of flavonoids and saponins from the extracts of the seeds of Glinus lotoides and tablet formulation thereof by high-performance liquid chromatography

The total flavonoids and saponins of the seeds of Glinus lotoides in the crude extracts and tablet formulation thereof were quantified by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) methods with UV detection. The saponins were analyzed after acid hydrolysis in 3 M HCI at 100 degrees C for 1 h. Vicenin-2 and mollugogenol B were isolated and used as reference substances for the quantification of total flavonoids and saponins, respectively. The identity and purity (> 97%) of the standards were confirmed by spectroscopic (UV, MS, and NMR) and chromatographic (HPLC) methods. The flavonoids and saponins of the crude extract of the seeds and tablet formulation were separated by RP-HPLC (Nucleosil RP-18 column, 250 mm x 4.6 mm) using linear gradient elution systems of acetonitrile-water-0.1 M H3PO4 for flavonoids and methanol-water for saponins. Satisfactory separation of the compounds was obtained in less than 30 and 25 min, for the flavonoids and saponins, respectively. The methods were validated for linearity, repeatability, limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ). Repeatability (inter- and intra-day, n = 6 and 9, respectively) showed less than 2% relative standard deviation (RSD). The LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.075 and 0.225 mg/mL, respectively, for vicenin-2 and 0.027 and 0.082 mg/100 mL, respectively, for mollugogenol B. The content of flavonoids and saponins of six single tablets was between 95 and 103% for flavonoids and 94-98% for saponins. The validated HPLC methods were employed to standardize a fingerprint of a laboratory produced purified extract, which could be used as a secondary standard for the routine quality control. Accordingly, the purified extract was found to contain 21.3% flavonoids (vicenin-2, 10%) and 25.4% saponins (glinuside G, 14.2%).     

Preparative separation and identification of the flavonoid phlorhizin from the crude extract of Lithocarpus polystachyus Rehd

The flavonoid phlorhizin is abundant in the leaves of Sweet Tea (ST, Lithocarpus Polystachyus Rehd). Phlorhizin was preparatively separated and purified from a crude ST extract containing 40% total flavonoids by static adsorption and dynamic desorption on ADS-7 macroporous resin and neutral alumina column chromatography. Only water and ethanol were used as solvents and eluants throughout the whole separation and purification process. Using a phlorhizin standard as the reference compound, the target compound separated from the crude ST extracts was analyzed by thin layer chromatography (TLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (EIS-MS) and identified as 99.87% pure (by HPLC-UV) phlorhizin. The results showed that 10 g of the target compound could be obtained from 40 g of the crude extracts in a single operation, indicating a 40% recovery. Therefore, this represents an efficient and environmentally-friendly technology for separating and purifying phlorhizin from ST leaves.     

Simultaneous isolation of artemisinin and its precursors from Artemisia annua L. by preparative RP-HPLC

It is still a major challenge to simultaneously isolate artemisinin and its precursors, especially dihydroartemisinic acid and artemisinic acid, from herbal Artemisia annua. A rapid, economical and automatical chromatographic separation process to isolate and purify artemisinin, dihydroartemisinic acid and artemisinic acid at the same time on a preparative scale was developed. The procedure included solvent extraction of ground Artemisia annua leaves by refluxing and purification of crude extract by preparative reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Fractions containing artemisinin and its precursors were collected and identified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. High purity of artemisinin, dihydroartemisinic acid and artemisinic acid was obtained by preparative HPLC with a C(18) column and 60% acetonitrile in water as the mobile phase. The techniques described here are useful tools for the preparative-scale isolation of artemisinin and its precursors in a fast, cost-effective and environmental friendly manner.     

Rapid screening of natural products by high-resolution high-temperature gas chromatography

The crude ethanol extracts from the leaves of three Croton hemiargyrus hemiargyreus plants are fractionated by thin-layer chromatography, yielding five fractions. The fractions and the crude extract are analyzed by high-temperature high-resolution gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HT-HRGC-MS). Several natural products, including thermolabile components, can be characterized directly in the samples, such as alkaloids, terpenes, flavonoids, acids, alcohols, etc. The cold on-column technique proves to be appropriate for the injection of these thermolabile compounds. HT-HRGC-MS is shown to be a valuable tool and an alternative technique to classical phytochemical procedures for the simple and fast routine analysis of natural products in crude extracts.

Three compounds were identified: a kaempherol derivative (astragalin), and two quercetin derivatives (quercitrin and hiperoside). The highest extraction yields of the selected compounds were obtained by use of exhaustive ASE.
