Abstract

A method was developed for extracting anthraquinone aglycones and their corresponding glycosides from plant materials and for separating them in pure form. The method consists of rendering the glycosides and aglycones insoluble in chloroform and then removing, stepwise, the interfering extractable substances. The method makes use of the fact that the aglycones are chloroform soluble whereas the glycosides are not. The method was applied with good results to the isolation of the aglycones and glycosides of cascara and senna.
