The invention provides a method for purifying
lipstatin. The method comprises the steps that step one, a high-polarity
solvent extraction solution containing the
lipstatin is obtained; step two, inorganic salt, a low-polarity
solvent and
tertiary amine compounds are added into the extraction solution, and stirring, standing and extraction and solution separation are conducted; step three, a high-polarity
solvent is added for backflushing of a low-polarity solvent phase of the upper middle layer after the extraction and solution separation in the step two, and stirring, standing and extractionand solution separation are conducted; step four, an acid
aqueous solution is added for backflushing of the low-polarity solvent phase of the upper middle layer after the extraction and solution separation in the step three, stirring, standing and extraction and solution separation are conducted, and a low-polarity
solvent extraction phase of the upper layer of the
lipstatin is obtained. Accordingto the method for purifying the lipstatin, impurities can be easily separated and removed through solution separation of the high-polarity solution and the low-polarity solution, the product is not easily damaged, and the yield is high; the operation is simple, the requirements for equipment are low, and the convenience is provided for industrial automatic
continuous production; the production period can be greatly shortened, and the production cost is reduced.
