The invention discloses a method for separating
camptothecin and 10-hydroxycamptothecin by the adoption of
rosin-based macromolecules. According to the method, alpha-
methacrylic acid (or
methyl methacrylate) is used as a
monomer, maleated
rosin-[(2-acryloyloxy) ethyl] ester is used as a cross-linking agent, and an micro-suspension free
radical polymerization method is adopted to prepare
rosin-based
macromolecule microspheres, wherein the microspheres are a spherical porous material, the article size distribution of the rosin-based
macromolecule microspheres is 3-10 microns, the average pore size of the rosin-based
macromolecule microspheres is 10-15 nm, the specific surface area of the rosin-based macromolecule microspheres is 90-120 m<2> / g, and the
acid value of the rosin-based macromolecule microspheres is 50-150 mgKOH / g; wet column packing is conducted on the rosin-based macromolecule microspheres by the adoption of a column packing
machine, so that a
chromatographic column is prepared; HPLC separation is conducted on the
camptothecin and the 10-hydroxycamptothecin, wherein the detecting wave length is 230-290 nm, the temperature is 30+ / -10 DEG C, the flow speed is 0.3-1.0 mL / min, and the separation degree of the
camptothecin and the 10-hydroxycamptothecin is 1.80-2.15. By the adoption of the method for separating the camptothecin and the 10-hydroxycamptothecin by the adoption of the rosin-based macromolecules, a high separation degree of the camptothecin and the 10-hydroxycamptothecin is achieved, the selectivity is high, the method is high in sensitivity, easy to operate, rapid and efficient, and no secondary
pollution to
medicine, health care products and food is caused.
