The invention relates to a preparation process of
alkaloid tabersonine, relating to the technical field of biopharmaceuticals. The traditional biological preparation process of the
tabersonine has the problems of large
solvent loss amount, high cost, large
water consumption, high adsorbent resin price, and the like. The preparation process of the
alkaloid tabersonine, disclosed by the invention, comprises the following steps of: squeezing voacanga seeds; carrying out
solvent extraction; carrying out
acid water extraction and washing; and carrying out
acid water purification, alkalinization and extraction. According to the preparation process disclosed by the invention,
solvent dimethylbenzene which has high
boiling point, low cost and easiness in obtaining is adopted as an extractant, anda mode of the
acid water extraction and washing is adopted, and therefore, the using amount and the treatment capacity of acid water are reduced; extracted diluted acid water is treated by adopting the dimethylbenzene, and therefore the adsorption washing or repeated salt transformation purification process of the conventional
macroporous resin is saved; the content of the tabersonine reaches more than 98 percent, and the
extraction ratio is between 1.8 percent and 2.0 percent; in addition, according to the invention, production cost is reduced, and
water consumption and solvent consumption are reduced.
