Abstract

An efficient and rapid preparative method for the separation and purification of flavonoid glycosides from the Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) was developed bysephadex LH-20 and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). 40g GBE of 24% flavonoids were loaded onto the sephadex LH-20 column and five fractions (1.15, 2.57, 1.32, 4.45, and 3.31g) at flavonoid content of 72.3, 54.2, 63.5, 51.2, and 59.2% were produced. Ultimately, 12 flavonoid glycosides that are at least purities of 97.7% were obtained from 100mg of each fraction by preparative HPLC. The fraction A, B, and Deach contained two flavonoids, yielded 35, 30, 23, 20, 25, and 25mg, respectively. The fraction C and E each contained three flavonoids, produced 20, 13, 15, 18, 15, and 20mg, respectively. The chemical structures of the purified compounds were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS).
