The invention discloses a method for preparing high-purity
oleanolic acid from
Aralia taibaiensis, belonging to the technical field of
natural product extraction separation. The method comprises the following steps: 1) washing an
Aralia taibaiensis
oleanolic acid crude product with water, taking the insoluble substance, adding analytic
methanol into the insoluble substance, sufficiently and evenly mixing, filtering, and taking the supernatant to obtain a loading solution; 2) filling a high-pressure preparative liquid
chromatography column with octadecylsilane bonded
silica gel, loading the loading solution to the high-pressure preparative liquid
chromatography column, and eluting by using a
methanol-water
system as an eluate; and 3) carrying out sectional collection under the detection of an
ultraviolet detector to obtain an
oleanolic acid solution, concentrating the oleanolic acid solution under reduced pressure, and washing with water to obtain the high-purity oleanolic acid. The method can be used for directly and quickly separating out the oleanolic acid, and has the advantages of short
separation time and high separation quantity; the yield is up to 85% above, and the purity is up to 98% above; and the method has the characteristics of less generated waste, small required eluate volume, recyclable filler and
solvent and environment friendliness, and is suitable for industrial production.
