Abstract

Paeoniflorin and albiflorin were isolated and purified from Radix Paeoniae Rubra by high-speed counter-current chromatography with a solvent system of ethyl acetate-n-butanol-water (3:2.5:5, v/v/v) in one step. From 100 mg of the n-butanol extract of Radix Paeoniae Rubra, 10 mg of paeoniflorin and 4.3 mg of albiflorin were obtained with purity of 98.75% and 95.03%, as determined by HPLC. Their structures were identified by MS, UV, and NMR analysis. In this study, a rapid method for isolation and purification of the two major compounds from Radix Paeoniae Rubra crude extract was established.
