The invention relates to Basma butyl-
phthalide and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of drugs and
phytochemistry. The separation and obtaining of Basma butyl-
phthalide comprise specific steps as follows: lower tobacco leaves of oriental tobacco Yunxiang basma No.1 are collected, dried in the shade and smashed, and the smashed leaves are screened by a 40-mesh
sieve and taken as a
raw material; the
raw material is soaked in a
methanol solution and extracted, reduced-pressure
distillation and concentration are performed, and extract is obtained; the extract is subjected to extraction by
ethyl acetate and subjected to
silica gel column chromatography separation and HPLC (high performance liquid chromatograph) purification finally, and the pure compound is obtained. Basma butyl-
phthalide is obtained by separation from the oriental tobacco Yunxiang basma No.1 for the first time, and the compound is novel in structure, has multiple biological activities, and particularly has better anti-TMV (
tobacco mosaic virus) activity, thereby providing important enlightenment for further research of oriental tobacco
plant as an anti-TMV medicinal
plant resource and being capable of applying to research, development and preparation of anti-TMV drugs. The
raw material is easily available, the preparation method is simple, the preparation cost is lower, and the application prospects are broad.
