Abstract
N-( p-Coumaroyl)serotonin (CS) and N-feruloylserotonin (FS) are two bioactive serotonin derivatives in safflower ( Carthamus tinctorius L.) seeds with many biological effects. In the present study, the sorption and desorption characteristics of six widely used macroporous resins, coded D312, 860021, DM131, HZ801, AB-8 and XDA-1, respectively, is critically evaluated and compared for enrichment and preparative separation of CS and FS. Static adsorption and desorption experiments on these resins showed that XDA-1 had the best adsorption and desorption equilibrium for CS and FS, and its adsorption equilibrium fits the best to the Langmuir isotherm. Dynamic adsorption and desorption experiments on XDA-1 resin packed column were conducted to establish the optimum parameters as: CS and FS concentration in sample solution 0.346 and 0.276 mg/mL, respectively, sample size 5-bed volumes (BV), sample flow rate 2 mL/min, temperature 25 °C (for adsorption); eluent 80% ethanol, 11 BV, flow rate 1 mL/min (for desorption). After one run of adsorption and desorption, the contents of CS and FS were increased from 2.01%, 1.67% to 24.1% and 22.4%, and the recoveries were 77.2% and 68.5%, respectively. The chromatographic process optimized in the present work is a promising basis for large scale preparation of CS and FS upon further scaling up tests.
