preparation | The dried R. The roots of glutinosa (20.0) were cut into small pieces and extracted twice with 95% EtOH for 2 hours under reflux conditions. The combined extracts were concentrated under reduced pressure, the concentrated solution (96.0 ml) was centrifuged and processed and then loaded onto Diaion HP-20 CC(12.5cm X) eluted sequentially with H2O and MeOH. An aqueous extract (1865.3g) and a methanol extract (101.6g) were sequentially obtained. Next, the methanol extract was dissolved in 10% ML (MeOH-H2O ml) and then placed on a Diaion HP-20(12.5cm × 96.0) column, again with 10%,30%,50%, 100%(v/v)MeOH-H2O(10 column volumes each) elution yields five fractions comprising Fr in succession. Fr.10% MeOH(65.0g),Fr.30% MeOH(16.6g),Fr.50% MeOH(11.5g),Fr.70% MeOH(4.2g) and Fr. 100% MeOH(2.0g). The 30% Me OH-H2O fraction was eluted with toopearl HW-40 CC and Fr. 1- 4 was obtained by eluting from 0% to 100% with MeOH-H2O. FR.1 (5.4g) was repeatedly chromatographed on silica to give 3(20.0mg) and 8(15.8mg). 3 is the rehmanniside. |
