production method | from the stems and leaves of Croton sulblyratus Kurz, a plant of the genus Croton of the Euphorbiaceae in Thailand (the commodity is plaoi) extraction of active ingredients. 81.5kg of commercial Hau-noi were pulverized and extracted three times with acetone under reflux. After the extract was concentrated, the residue was dissolved in 10L of a 80% aqueous methanol solution and washed with n-hexane. The methanol layer was concentrated and poured into 40L of benzene with vigorous stirring. The benzene solution was concentrated and the residue was extracted with ether. The ether solution was chromatographed on a 3kg column of silica gel, eluting with benzene and ethyl acetate, to give 53g of pranolol. The insoluble matter extracted by ether, with 5kg Silica Gel chromatography, chloroform and methanol elution, can be obtained 12 gfuranodaterpenea [melting point 180~181 ℃,[α]D20-142 °(C = 1.0, acetone)] and 28gfuranoditerpeneb [melting point 170-172 °c,[α]D20-144 °(C = 1.0, acetone)], both of which have the same activity as pranolol. An attempt has also been made on the total synthesis of pranolol. |
