Sample Preparation |
METHOD 1 |
|
Defat toasted soy flour twice with hexane. Extract the dried flour with 75% aqueous methanol. Evaporate the extract under vacuo and freeze-dry the raw extract. Clean and enrich the extract by SPE usingAmberlite XAD-7 material (Fluka, Buchs, Switzerland) in a glass column (45 cm × 65 cm). Apply the filtered aqueous crude extract. Wash the resin with water to remove proteins, sugars, organic acids, and salts and then elute it with methanol. Concentrate the eluate in vacuo. Dilute the eluate with water, and freeze-dry it to give an isoflavone-enriched XAD-7 extract. Apply the extract to HSCCC with MTBE/ ACN/ water (2/2/3 v/v/v) as mobile phase at flow ratre of 3.2 mL/min. The apparatus runs at 600 rpm and detection is UV λ260 nm. Obtain three major fractions. Apply fraction 1 for second HSCCC separation, using a \"one-step gradient solvent system\" to separate daidzin and glycitin. |

HSCCC made by Pharma-Tech Research (Baltimore, Maryland, USA) with three preparative coils, connected in series (total volume approximately 850 mL, id 2.6 mm), Biotronik HPLC pump BT 3020, Knauer Variable Wavelength Monitor |
|
Initial biphasic solvent system: MTBE/n-butanol/ACN/water (2/1/2/5 v/v/v/v), the lower phase is mobile phase; lower mobile phase after 280 min: MTBE-saturated water and ACN (10/1 v/v) |
|
2.5 mL/min; 600 rpm |
|
UV λ315 nm |
|
METHOD 2 |
|
Extract dried soybeans powder with 70% ethanol three times at 60°C. Evaporate ethanol under vacuum in a rotary evaporator to get ethanol extract. Dissolve the ethanol extract in distilled water. Partition the extract thrice with chloroform in a ratio of 1: 1. Then partition the ethanol-water fraction thrice with butanol in a ratio of 1: 1. Dry the butanol fraction under vacuum. |
|
Fractionate the butanol extract in a column packed with Sephadex LH-20 (100 M, Pharmacia Fine Chemical Co., Ltd., Germany) and elute it with 70% ethanol to give 20 fractions (F1-F20). Load each fraction of F7-F16 on a Sephadex LH-20 column. Use pure ethanol as eluting agent. |
|
Purify these isoflavones or glycosides on a C18 HPLC preparative column (Hypersil ODS, 250 × 22 mm, 10 m, Alltech, Deerfield, IL, USA) and elute it with 10% acetonitrile in 1% acetic acid solution. Purify seven isoflavones or glycosides, including glycitin. Evaporate each fraction to dryness and dissolve each in ethanol. |
|
METHOD 3 |
|
Extract Semen sojae praeparatum powder by SFE to remove oil. Reflux the powder with 70% aqueous EtOH. Carry out two additional extractions and the mix the extracts. Concentrate the extracts to remove EtOH. Charge the aqueous solution on D101 macroporous resin. Elute the column with water and then with 40%, 75% and 95% EtOH. |

Preparative HPLC (pHPLC) is carried out for separation. System: Waters 515 pump, 2487 detector, and N2000 workstation (Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China); column: YWG C18 (20.0 × 250 mm, i.d. 10 μm) (Hanbon Science and Technology CO., Ltd. Jiang Su province, China); mobile phases: MeCN-water-AcOH (25: 75: 2 and 35: 65: 2 v/v/v); flow rate: 3.5 and 4.5 mL/min; detection: 260 nm |
