Mahonia bealei (Fort.) Carr. is an economically important plant that is widely cultivated in Southwest China. Its leaves are commonly used for tea and contain an abundance of antioxidant compounds. However, methods of the systematic purification of antioxidants from M. bealei are lacking. In this study, antioxidants from this plant were effectively and rapidly enriched. First, antioxidants were screened using online 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical (DPPH)–high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), followed by separation using high-speed countercurrent chromatography with an optical solvent system composed of n-hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/water (1:5:1:5, v/v/v/v). Three phenolics—chlorogenic acid (1, 8.3 mg), quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2, 20.5 mg), and isorhamnetin-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (3, 28.4 mg)—were obtained from the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction (240 mg) by one-step separation. The chemical structures of the phenolics were characterized by MS and NMR techniques, and the purity of each compound was >92.0% as determined by HPLC. The isolated compounds were assessed by scavenging activities on DPPH and superoxide radicals as well as cytoprotective assays, all of which showed similar trends regarding the antioxidant capacities of the compounds. Moreover, compounds 1–3 significantly attenuated the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activities in H2O2-treated RAW264.7 cells. Our study demonstrated the efficiency of a newly developed integrative system for the comprehensive characterization of pure compounds from M. bealei, which will allow their use as reference substances.

Seven compounds from Hibiscus mutabilis L. leaves were first successfully achieved by two-step high-speed counter-current chromatography with two-phase solvent system composed of n-butanol-ethyl acetate-water (1:6:9, v/v/v) and n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (3:5:3:5, v/v/v/v/). The critical experimental parameters of first-step separation were optimized with response surface methodology as follows: flow rate was 1.1 mL/min, revolution speed was 800 rpm and temperature was 30?C. Under the optimal conditions, around 5.0 mg of salicylic acid, 13.6 mg of rutin, 5.5 mg of genistein were obtained in 100 mg crude sample. Then, 9.2 mg of potengriffioside A, 4.7 mg of kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside, 3.0 mg of steppogenin and 2.5 mg of emodin were obtained by second-step separation. The purities of the seven compounds determined by UPLC were 96.2%, 93.8%, 95.4%, 94.3%, 98.0%, 94.1% and 90.8%, respectively. Their chemical structures were identified by electron spray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS) and 1H, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Furthermore, compound steppogenin and genistein were first reported from Hibiscus mutabilis L. The purification method was simple, efficient and evaded tedious separation process.

Silica gel column combined with high-speed counter-current chromatography separation was successfully applied to the separation of schizandrin (I), angeloylgomisin H (II), gomisin A (III), schisantherin C (IV), deoxyschizandrin (V), ?-schisandrin (VI) and schisandrin C (VII) from the fruits of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baillon. The petroleum ether extracts of the fruits of S. chinensis were pre-separated first on a silica gel column and divided into two fractions as sample 1 and sample 2. 260 mg of sample 1 was separated by HSCCC using petroleum ether-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (10:8:10:8, v/v) as the two-phase solvent system and 18.2 mg of schizandrin, 15.7 mg of angeloylgomisin H, 16.5 mg of gomisin A and 16.7 mg of schisantherin C were obtained. 230 mg of sample 2 was separated using petroleum ether-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (10:0.5:10:1, v/v) as the two-phase solvent system and 19.7 mg of deoxyschizandrin, 23.4 mg of ?-schisandrin and 18.2 mg of schisandrin C were obtained. The purities of the separated compounds were all over 94% as determined by HPLC. The chemical structures of these compounds were confirmed by ESI-MS and 1H NMR.

Abstract Four caffeoylquinic acid derivatives from the Gunura procumbens flowers (GPF) were successfully isolated and purified by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). Ethyl acetate–methanol–water (3:1:3, v/v/v) was the optimum biphasic solvent system, which was selected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and run on a preparative scale where the lower aqueous phase was used as the mobile phase with a head-to-tail elution mode. Chlorogenic acid (3.83 mg), Isochlorogenic acid A (6.51 mg), Isochlorogenic acid B (4.38 mg) and Isochlorogenic acid C (4.47 mg) were obtained for the first time in an one-step HSCCC separation from 800 mg of the crude extracts. The purities of four compounds were determined to be >95% by HPLC. Chemical structures of each isolated compounds were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry methods. It is worth noting that all the four compounds were isolated here for the first time from GPF and this work confirms the effectiveness of HSCCC for the separation of compounds contained in complex samples, and provides a foundation for further exploitation of G. procumbens.

The natural naphthopyranones paepalantine (1), paepalantine-9O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside (2) and paepalantine-9-O-β-ᴅ-allopyranosyl-(1→6)-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside (3) were separated in a preparative scale from the ethanolic extract of the capitula of Paepalanthus bromelioides by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The solvent system used was composed of water-ethanol-ethyl acetate-hexane (10:4 : 10:4, v/v/v/v). This technique led to the separation of the three different naphthopyranone glycosides in pure form in approximately 7 hours. Paepalantine showed a good antioxidant activity when assayed by the DPPH radical spectrophotometric assay.

Abstract Diethyl phthalate was determined in water and sediment by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and in water by gas-liquid chromatography with electron capture detection (GLC-ECD). Water samples were extracted with hexane, using a high-speed homogenizer-ultrasonic apparatus and a test tube mixer. Sediments were Soxhlet-extracted using acetonitrile. For HPLC, diethyl phthalate was determined in normal phase mode using a Zorbax-CN column, a 2% isopropanol-hexane solvent system, and a UV variable wavelength detector. For GLC-ECD, a 3% SE-30 Gas-Chrom Q column with a 63Ni electron capture detection system was used. Recoveries from fortified samples ranged from 93.9 to 98.0% for water atO.Ol-0.50 ppm, and from 90.0 to 93.6% for sediment atO.2-2.Oppm.

To tackle the difficult problem of large ethnomedicine compound prescription research in a fast and efficient way, high-speed separation of Baimai prescriptions was performed by automated flash chromatography on 100-g Si flash columns at a flow-rate of 40 mL/min. Petroleum ether, methylene dichloride, ethyl acetate, methanol and water were used in gradient elution solvent system. 69 fractions were obtained as an ethnodrug compounds library. Separation degree of partial fractions were determined by HPLC-UV absorption spectrometry. Antioxidant activities screening of the fractions in 96 well plates was carryied out. Distribution range of fractions with strong scavenging effect of free radical DPPH was identified. Fraction 5-18 and 20 extracted from ethyl acetate exert the strongest antioxidant activities in vitro, and are identified as effective-composite of the prescription in radical scavenging. The results reported here suggest that the methods used may lead to improvements in the research and development of large ethnomedicine compound prescription.

High-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) and silica gel column chromatography were used to separate and purify alkaloids from Chinese herbal medicine Euchresta tubulosa Dunn. The purpose of this study is to provide a system mode for rapid separation of alkaloids from natural products. In the experiment, the eluent of silica gel column chromatography was screened by thin layer chromatography (TLC) to obtain four components with different polarity. Then, the two-phase solvent systems of different components were selected and purified by HSCCC. Four alkaloids with relatively high content were obtained by this mode successfully, including matrine (28 mg), oxymatrine (32 mg), N-formyl cytisine (24 mg), and cytisine (58 mg). The purity was higher than 91% by high performance liquid chromatography–ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) and their chemical structures were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron ionization mass spectrometry (EI-MS). The results showed that the combination of HSCCC and silica gel column chromatography could make alkaloids from natural products separate systematically.

The ethyl acetate (EtOAc) soluble fraction of methanol extracts ofPerilla frutescens(P. frutescens) inhibits aldose reductase (AR), the key enzyme in the polyol pathway. Our investigation of inhibitory compounds from the EtOAc soluble fraction ofP. frutescenswas followed by identification of the inhibitory compounds by a combination of HPLC microfractionation and a 96-well enzyme assay. This allowed the biological activities to be efficiently matched with selected HPLC peaks. Structural analyses of the active compounds were performed by LC-MSn. The main AR inhibiting compounds were tentatively identified as chlorogenic acid and rosmarinic acid by LC-MSn. A two-step high speed counter current chromatography (HSCCC) isolation method was developed with a solvent system of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water at 1.5 : 5 : 1 : 5, v/v and 3 : 7 : 5 : 5, v/v. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were determined by1H- and13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR). The main compounds inhibiting AR in the EtOAc fraction of methanol extracts ofP. frutescenswere identified as chlorogenic acid (2) (IC50= 3.16 μM), rosmarinic acid (4) (IC50= 2.77 μM), luteolin (5) (IC50= 6.34 μM), and methyl rosmarinic acid (6) (IC50= 4.03 μM).
