Abstract
Several kinds of resins were investigated in the first step and D101 macroporous resin was selected for cleaning-up naringin (NAR), a major flavonoid glycoside from Fructus aurantii. In the subsequent column chromatography, 10% aqueous ethanol was first used to elute the column to remove the undesired constituents and 70% aqueous ethanol was used to elute the target. The content of NAR was 57.1% with 95.7% recovery in this process. In the second step, the obtained crude sample was directly isolated by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) with a two-phase solvent system composed of ethyl acetate–n-butanol–water at a volume ratio of 2: 0.8: 3.2 (v/v/v), and 331 mg NAR with 98.3% purity was obtained from 600 mg crude extract in only one run. The recovery of the compound in this step was 95.0%. Thus, the total recovery of NAR was 90.9% after the two step purification. The established protocol for large-scale isolation and separation of NAR with high purity and recovery from F. aurantii was simple, efficient, and suitable for pharmace- utical and commercial use.
