Abstract
Separation of polar compounds especially with similar polarities is challenging. In the present study, three polar compounds with similar polarities, including gentiopicroside, sweroside and mangiferin, have been successfully separated from Swertia mussotii by a combination of two counter-current chromatography modes. With the selected solvent system of ethyl acetate/n-butanol/water (8/2/10, v/v), a continuous injection mode was firstly employed. As a result, 10.4 g of mangiferin with purity higher than 98% and 8 g of Peak I mainly composed of gentiopicroside and sweroside could be easily obtained from 24 g of the sample by counter-current chromatography through eight injections. Then, a recycling counter-current chromatography mode was introduced for the separation of gentiopicroside and sweroside. Through six cycles, 5.3 g of gentiopicroside and 0.8 g of sweroside with purity higher than 98% were obtained from 8 g of Peak I. The research provides a reference for the large-scale separation of polar compounds with similar polarities.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatographic Science is devoted to the dissemination of information concerning all methods of chromatographic analysis. The standard manuscript is a description of recent original research that covers any or all phases of a specific separation problem, principle, or method. Manuscripts which have a high degree of novelty and fundamental significance to the field of separation science are particularly encouraged. It is expected the authors will clearly state in the Introduction how their method compares in some markedly new and improved way to previous published related methods. Analytical performance characteristics of new methods including sensitivity, tested limits of detection or quantification, accuracy, precision, and specificity should be provided. Manuscripts which describe a straightforward extension of a known analytical method or an application to a previously analyzed and/or uncomplicated sample matrix will not normally be reviewed favorably. Manuscripts in which mass spectrometry is the dominant analytical method and chromatography is of marked secondary importance may be declined.
