Sample Preparation
METHOD 1
Extract the dried seeds powder of P. corylifolia (2.0 kg) with 95% EtOH to give 592 g crude, suspend part of which (392 g) in 2.5 L water.
Extract was partitioned with petroleum ether and ethyl acetate successively to give petroleum ether soluble fraction PE (143 g) and ethyl acetate soluble fraction EA (120 g).
Subject EA (100 g) to silica gel column chromatography (CC) eluted with an increasingly gradient of acetone in petroleum ether to obtain nine fractions Frs 1-9 according to TLC monitor. Frs 1-4 (total 46 g) mainly contained bakuchiol
