Abstract

A preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography method for isolation and purification of three acetophenones, baishouwubenzophenone, 4-hydroxyacetophenone and 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone from the Chinese medicinal plant Cynanchum auriculatum Royle ex Wight was successfully established. With a two-phase solvent system composed of light petroleum (b.p. 60–90 °C)–ethyl acetate–methanol–water (4:9:6:6, v/v), about 20.2 mg compound 1, 35.0 mg compound 2 and 8.3 mg compound 3, each at over 95% purity as determined by LC, were obtained in one-step elution from 400 mg of the ethanol extract. The structures of these compounds were identified by UV, IR, ESI-MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Among them, compounds 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone and 4-hydroxyacetophenone were obtained from C. auriculatum for the first time.
