A consecutive preparation method based upon accelerated solvent extraction and high‐speed counter‐current chromatography for isolation of aesculin from Cortex fraxinus

A consecutive preparation method based upon accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) coupled with high‐speed counter‐current chromatography (HSCCC) was presented and aesculin was obtained from Cortex fraxinus. The extraction condition of ASE was optimized with response surface methodology; some significant parameters such as the solvent system and its stability, the amount of loading sample in HSCCC were also investigated. The original sample was first extracted with methanol at 105°C and 104 bar for 7 min using ASE, then the extracts were consecutively introduced into the HSCCC system and separated and purified with the same ethyl acetate/n‐butanol/water (7:3:10, v/v/v) solvent system for five times without further exchange and equilibrium. About 3.1 ± 0.2 mg/g in each time and total of 15.4 mg/g aesculin with purity over 95% was isolated from Cortex fraxinus. The results demonstrated that the consecutive preparation method was time and solvent saving and high throughput, it was suitable for isolation of aesculin from Cortex fraxinus, and also has good potential on the separation and purification of effective compounds from natural product.     

Antifungal and cytotoxic substances from the stem barks of Desmos chinensis

Isounonal-7-methyl ether（1） and chinendihydrochalcone（2） together with 8 known compounds were isolated from the stem barks of Desmos chinensis.Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data.Compound 2 exhibited cytotoxic activity against MOLT-3 cancer cell line(IC₅₀ 7.16μg/mL) and antifungal activity against Pyricularia oryzae and Rhizoctonia solani with MIC values of 15.6 and 31.2μg/mL,respectively.     

Simultaneous Analysis of Seven Bioactive Compounds in Sambucus Chinensis Lindl by HPLC

Following optimization of extraction, separation, and analytical conditions, a simple, rapid, and sensitive HPLC-UV method was developed for the simultaneous determination of seven major bioactive components in Sambucus chinensis Lindl, including chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyran-oside, and kaempferol-3-O-(6-actyl)-β-D-galacto-pyranoside. The good chromatographic separation was performed on a Gemini C₁₈ reversed-phase analytical column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) by gradient elution with acetonitrile and formate aqueous buffer (containing 0.8% formic acid, V/V) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 326 nm. The intra-day and inter-day precisions were evaluated with the R.S.D. values less than 4.0%. The mean recoveries of the seven compounds were in the range of 92.4%–104.8%. The method was successfully applied to determine the seven bioactive compounds in six different origins of Sambucus chinensis Lindl samples, and there was a significant variation in the contents of the seven compounds among the six samples. Therefore, this method provided a new basis of overall assessment for routine use in the quality control of Sambucus chinensis Lindl.     

红外光谱法与药用玫瑰真伪的分析与鉴定

文章采用红外光谱法(FTIR)并结合二维相关光谱分析技术分析鉴定了药用玫瑰(药材对照品)及其混淆品月季和蔷薇。在一维红外光谱中三者的谱图较为一致,但药用玫瑰在1 318 cm-1波数处的峰不明显 ,而月季和蔷薇的1 318 cm-1峰明显,且较尖。在高分辨的二阶导数谱中药用玫瑰和月季分别在1 617和1 618 cm-1处具有芳香类指纹特征峰,而蔷薇的峰则在1 612 cm-1波数处,相差了5～6 cm-1。在1 044 cm-1处的峰, 蔷薇糖类化合物的指纹特征峰较明显,月季和药用玫瑰不明显。观测二维相关红外谱,三者都存在1 620,1 560和1 460 cm-1的芳香类化合物的自动峰,不同的是月季和蔷薇还存在一个较明显的1 660 cm-1的肩膀峰。药用玫瑰、月季和蔷薇在850～1 250 cm-1范围内的二维相关红外光谱差别很大,药用玫瑰1 050 cm-1的糖类化合物自动峰强度最大,而月季的峰较弱,而蔷薇没有此峰。谱图的三级鉴定验证了药用玫瑰、月季和蔷薇在糖苷类化合物和芳香类化合物的相对含量上都是不一致的。结果表明,运用红外光谱法可以快速有效地分析和鉴定药用玫瑰及其混淆品。     

北苍术超临界CO2萃取产物的成分

用气相色谱－质谱－计算机联用法分析了北苍术的超临界CO2萃取产物的成分,鉴定出苍术酮、β－桉叶油醇、苍术醇31化合物,占出峰总面积的88．1％,并与传统水蒸汽蒸馏法（SD）提取的挥发油成分进行了对比。结果证明,两种方法抽提的苍术主成分基本相同,但超临界CO2萃取产物比SD产物多出现了一些重质组分,萃取更完全而有效。
