The invention discloses a production technique of
andrographolide and neoandrographolide, dehydroanddrographolide and oxyandrographolide; the technique comprises the following steps of: firstly preparing stem and leaf extract of
andrographis paniculata, removing fat-soluble impurities such as
chlorophyll and the like with
petroleum ether, and then hot-melting the extract in lower
alcohol or aqueous lower
alcohol, conducting
reflux and decolorization with
active carbon, separating out a majority of
andrographolide crystals, then removing
flavonoid through an
alumina column or alkali cleaning, obtaining the
andrographolide, cold-melting the andrographolide with trichloromethane or
dichloromethane for 2 to 4 times, filtering and obtaining two parts of filtrate and insoluble substances, concentrating the filtrate, then conducting
solvent crystallization and recrystallization or
column chromatography for separation, and finally, respectively obtaining dehydroanddrographolide and pure product of andrographolide; the insoluble substances go through
solvent crystallization and recrystallization or
column chromatography for separation to obtain the neoandrographolide and pure product of andrographolide. The technique has simple production equipment, simplified routes and easy operation, can realize industrialized
batch production; and the proportion of neoandrographolide, dehydroanddrographolide and oxyandrographolide in the obtained andrographolide is high, while the content of impurities is low. The obtained neoandrographolide, dehydroanddrographolide and oxyandrographolide all have
monomer purity of higher than 98 percent, thus being capable of being used as chemical reference substance of the
traditional Chinese medicine, or being applied as raw materials of
medicine and
chemical industry.
