The bioactive component harpagoside was successfully separated from the crude extract of Scrophularia ningpoensis Hemsley by one-step purification using high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). A two-phase solvent system containing n-butanol:ethyl acetate:water (1:9:10) was selected following consideration of the partition coefficient of the target compound. A 276 mg quantity of the c...

A high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) method was established for the preparative separation of three sesquiterpenoid lactones from Eupatorium lindleyanum DC. The two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (1:4:2:3, v/v/v/v) was selected. From 540 mg of the n-butanol fraction of Eupatorium lindleyanum DC., 10.8 mg of 3β-hydroxy-8β-[4'-hydroxytigloylo...

High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was successfully applied to the preparative separation and purification of deoxyschisandrin and gamma-schisandrin from the crude petroleum ether extracts of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. The optimum solvent system composed of n-hexane-methanol-water (35:30:3, v/v) led to the successful preparation of deoxyschisandrin and gamma-schisandrin...

High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) coupled with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) was successfully applied to preparative separation and purification of verticine and verticinone from crude extracts of Bulbus Fritillariae Thunbergii by a one-step separation, using chloroform-ethanol-0.2mol L(-1) hydrochloric acid (3:2:2, v/v/v) as a solvent system. HPLC analysis of th...

Semi-preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was successfully used for isolation and purification of oridonin from Isodon rubescens by using a two-phase-solvent system composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (2.8:5:2.8:5, v/v/v/v). The targeted compound isolated, collected and purified by HSCCC was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A tota...

Abstract The dynamic characteristics of high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) have a significant impact on its separation efficiency and equipment stability. accurate discrimination the characteristic during process constitutes prerequisite for clarifying mechanism performance improvement. This study establishes HSCCC operational modal model using least-square complex frequency doma...

The contamination of foods and animal feeds with trichothecene mycotoxins is a growing concern for human and animal health. As such, large quantities of pure trichothecene mycotoxins are necessary for food safety monitoring and toxicological research. A new and effective method for the purification of trichothecene mycotoxins from a marine fungus, Fusarium sp. LS68, is described herein. Prepara...

A preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) method for isolation and purification of coumarin compounds from the Chinese medicinal plant Peucedanum decursivum (Miq.) Maxim (Zihuaqianhu in Chinese) was successfully established by using light petroleum-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (5:5:7:4, v/v) as the two-phase solvent system. The upper phase of light petroleum-ethyl acetate-...

This paper reports a novel strategy based on high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) technique to separate in vivo metabolites from refined extract of urine after administration of an herbal medicine. Saussurea laniceps (SL) was chosen as a model herbal medicine to be used to test the feasibility of our proposed strategy. This strategy succeeded in the case of separating four in vivo ...

In this study, a high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) separation method target guided by centrifugal ultrafiltration with high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (CU-LC-MS) was proposed. This method was used to analyze α-amylase inhibitors from Kadsura longipedunculata extract. According to previous screening with CU-LC-MS, two screened potential α-amylase inhibito...
