Problems solved by technology

In this method, the process of bark crushing is loaded down with trivial details, and equipment investment is big, and production cost is high
[0006] (3) Patent CN 1634972 uses ethyl acetate to extract crushed white birch bark, then concentrates under reduced pressure, filters after standing, collects the precipitate, adds activated carbon to the precipitate and extracts it with methanol reflux, recovers methanol under reduced pressure, and collects betulin , its purity is greater than 80%, but the yield is only 1.7%
The method is cumbersome and costly
In addition, the amount of filler required for traditional chromatography column packing is large, generally 10 to 100 times the weight of the sample
Therefore, the traditional chromatography method is not suitable for the large-scale extraction and purification of betulin

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for extracting and purifying the betulin from birch bark. The invention comprises the following procedures, cutting the birch bark into the bark particles, heating, refluxing and extracting by aqueous ethanol solution, filtering, vacuum concentration of the filtrate, cooling, collecting and drying the separated crude betulin. The method of the invention can obtain the betulin with the purity of more than 90 percent, and has the advantages of simple process, lower cost and being suitable for the industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of phytochemistry, in particular to a method for extracting and purifying betulin from birch bark. Background technique [0002] Birch bark is the bark of birch, a deciduous tree in the Betaceae family, and is a by-product of the logging industry. It contains betulin, fatty acids, tannins, polysaccharides, saponins and a small amount of triterpenoids such as betulinic acid. Wherein, the content of betulin is 23%-33% by weight. Betulin has a variety of biological activities, such as anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral activities, and has great development value. Betulin derivatives synthesized from betulin have stronger and wider biological activities. [0003] So far, the existing separation and purification methods have the following types, but all have various defects and cannot meet the needs of production: [0004] (1) Patent RU 2270202 uses methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) to extract betulin, and MTBE ...
