The invention discloses a method for obtaining
piperine via direct
column chromatography, which belongs to the technical field of
medicine preparation. The method comprises the following steps of: taking 1 part by weight of pepper
powder passing through a 100-mesh
sieve, and 0.8-1.2 parts by weight of
silica gel or
aluminium oxide with a particle size of 80-100 meshes, uniformly mixing the two raw materials and
grinding; spreading the obtained product in a glass
chromatography column filled with 0.8-5.0 parts by weight of
silica gel or
aluminium oxide with a particle size of 80-100 meshes, eluting by taking
petroleum ether-
acetone or
petroleum ether-
ethyl acetate or
chloroform-
acetone or
chloroform-
ethyl acetate in a volume ratio of 5: (0.5 to 2.0) as a mobile phase, and collecting fractions; and performing reduced pressure concentration on the fractions containing
piperine, and then crystallizing by
methanol-water in a volume ratio of (7.8 to 8.2): 2 to obtain faint yellow
piperine massive crystals. Compared with the prior art, the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that extraction and purification processes of piperine are optimized, the operation steps of
solvent extraction and the types of the used solvents are reduced, and the consumption of the solvents is decreased; and moreover, the obtained product is stable in quality, high in productivity, low in cost, and low in time consumption.
