Sample Preparation |
METHOD 1 |
|
|
|
HSCCC instrument (Beijing Institute of New Technology Application, Beijing, China) used was a Model GS-20 A analytical multilayer coil planet centrifuge equipped with a PTFE multilayer coil of 70 m × 0.85 mm I.D. with a total capacity of 40 mL |
|
n: hexane: ethyl acetate: methanol: water: acetonitrile = 8: 2: 5: 5: 5, v/v |
|
1.0 mL/min, 1600 rpm |
|
UV λ254 nm |
|
METHOD 2 |
|
Sample powder was macerated in 95% ethanol at room temperature with continous sonication for 30 min. And solvent partitions sequentially with n-C6H14 EtOAc and n-BuOH. |
|
EtOAc fraction was applied to silica gel column and eluted by 100% EtOAc, EtOAc and CH3OH (8: 2), EtOAc and CH3OH (1: 2), CH3OH 100%. The pure senkyunolide A was obtained from the eluate of EtOAc 100% fractions. |
