PREPARATIVE SEPARATION OF LUVANGETIN FROM ZANTHOXYLUM AILANTHOIDES SIEB. & ZUCC. BY CENTRIFUGAL PARTITION CHROMATOGRAPHY

Abstract
□ Luvangetin, a coumarin compound was separated from the extract of stem bark of Zanthoxylum ailanthoides Sieb. & Zucc. by centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) using a two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane–ethyl acetate–methanol–water (2:2:2:1, v/v). Its chemical structural was elucidated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry,1 H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and 13C NMR. The ethanol extract of the stem bark of Z. ailanthoides was fractioned by extraction with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol successively. The petroleum ether fraction was subjected to further CPC separation. From 500 mg of petroleum ether extract, 20.6 mg of high pure (99% by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis) luvangetin was obtained in about 30 min.
