In this study, an on-line two-dimensional high-speed counter-current chromatography system based on a six-port valve was developed. Target-guided by ultrafiltration with high-performance liquid chromatography, the one-step isolation of three potential α-amylase inhibitors from Abelmoschus esculentus (L).Moench was achieved by employing the developed orthogonal system and extrusion elution mode. The purities of three potential α-amylase inhibitors were all over 95% as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Furthermore, UV, mass spectrometry and H NMR spectroscopy were applied to the structural identification of the isolated three target compounds, their structures were assigned as quercetin-3-O-sophoroside (i), 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy flavonol-3-O-[β-d-rhamnopyranosil-(1→2)]-β-d-glucopyranoside (ii ) and isoquercitrin (iii), respectively. The Results demonstrated that the proposed method was highly efficient to screen and isolate enzyme inhibitors from complex natural products extracts, and on-line two-dimensional high-speed counter-current chromatography can effectively increase the peak resolution of target compounds.
An off-line two-dimensional high-speed counter-current chromatography method combined with gradient and recycling elution mode was established to isolate terpenoids and flavones from the leaves of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees. By using the solvent systems composed of n-hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/water with different volume ratios, five compounds including roseooside, 5,4'-dihydroxyflavonoid-7-O-β-d-pyranglucuronatebutylester, 7,8-dimethoxy-2'-hydroxy-5-O-β-d-glucopyranosyloxyflavon, 14-deoxyandrographiside, and andrographolide were successfully isolated. Purities of these isolated compounds were all over 95% as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Their structures were identified by UV, mass spectrometry, and (1) H NMR spectroscopy. It has been demonstrated that the combination of off-line two-dimensional high-speed counter-current chromatography with different elution modes is an efficient technique to isolate compounds from complex natural product extracts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
