上海同田生物技术：运用高速逆流色谱从短葶飞蓬中两步分离纯化黄芩素苷

Abstract: Scutellarin, a flavone glycoside, popularly applied for the treatment of cardiopathy, has been purified in two-step purification by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) from Erigeron breviscapus (vant.) Hand. Mazz. (Deng-zhan-hua in Chinese), a well-known traditional Chinese medicinal plant for heart disease. Two solvent systems, n-hexane–ethyl acetate–methanol–acetic acid–water (1:6:1.5:1:4, v/v/v/v/v) and ethyl acetate–n-butanol–acetonitrile–0.1% HCl (5:2:5:10, v/v/v/v) were used for the two-step purification. The purity of the collected fraction of scutellarin was 95.6%. This study supplies a new alternative method for purification of scutellarin.
