The invention discloses a high efficiency separation and purification method for polygalacic acids and
polygala root
sapogenin. The method is as follows: firstly,
polygala root raw medicinal materials are extracted by the
backflow of
methanol and hydrolyzed by hydrochloric acids so as to obtain semi-finished products, and the contents of the polygalacic acids and
polygala root
sapogenin are measured by the analysis mode high performance liquid chromatograph; secondly, an etrahydrofuran
solvent is used to dissolve the semi-finished products, and by taking the mixed
solvent of
tetrahydrofuran-water-
organic acid as an eluting mobile phase and utilizing a high efficiency preparation liquid chromatogram separating
system, filtrates obtained during the step of dissolving the semi-finished products are eluted and separated so as to obtain purified products of polygalacic acids and polygala root
sapogenin, purities of which are both more than 98 percent. The method has the advantages of big preparation quantity, high yield and good purity of products, and realizes the synchronous separation of polygalacic acids and polygala root sapogenin, thereby the method is suitable for the industrialized production; meanwhile, the invention also provides a high efficiency
liquid phase chromatogram
analysis method for polygalacic acids and polygala root sapogenin, which greatly improves the degree of separation of polygalacic acids and polygala root sapogenin in a liquid chromatogram.
