Extractives from Epimedium koreanum Nakai

삼지구엽초(Epimedium koreanum Nakai)의 추출성분

The air dried of Epimedium koreanum Nakai was extracted with MeOH and its extractives were concentrated with a vacuum evaporator. The extractives were fractionated with a series of n-hexane, chloroform (${CHCl}_3$), butanol (BuOH), ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and water on a separately funnel. Each fraction was freeze dried to give some dark brown powder. The EtOAc and BuOH soluble fractions were chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column using a series of aqueous methanol and ethanol-n-hexane mixture as eluents. The isolated compounds were tested with a cellulose TLC developed with TBA and 6% acetic acid and then visualized on UV lamp or sprayed with vanillin-HCl-EtOH. The purified compounds were flavonoids and their glycosides, and organic acid as follows : (+)-catechin, icariin, hyperoside, Ikarisoside A and caffeic acid. The structures of each compounds were confirmed by $^1H-NMR,\;^{13}C-NMR$ and Mass spectra. Also, executed qualitative analysis as use GC/MS(Libraries search) about ${CHCl}_3$ soluble compounds of each part.

삼지구엽초의 각 부분(잎, 줄기, 뿌리)을 MeOH로 추출한 후 농축하고 핵산, 클로로포름, 부탄올, 에틸아세테이트 및 수용성으로 분획하여 동결건조하였다. 각 추출물은 메탄을 수용액 및 에탄올-핵산 혼합액을 사용하여 Sephadex LH-20 칼럼크로마토그래피로 화합물을 분리 한 후 TBA 및 6% 초산에 전개하는 셀룰로오스 박층 크로마토그래피로 단리물질을 확인하였다. 단리물질의 화학적 구조는 $^1H-NMR,\;^{13}C-NMR$ 및 질량 분석으로 결정하였으며 단일화합물로 정제된 물질은 caffeic acid를 비롯하여 flavonoid와 그 배당체 화합물인 icariin, caffeic acid, hyperoside, Ikarisoside A, (+)-catechin이었다. 또한, 각 부분의 클로로포름 분획을 GC/MS (Libraries search)를 이용하여 정성분석을 실시하였다.
