The present invention provides a method of separating and preparing
corosolic acid from loquat leaves, which includes the separation and preparation of the total
triterpene acid
loquat leaf, the purification of the resin concentration of the
corosolic acid, the
crystallization and purification of the
corosolic acid, etc. In the preparation method, the loquat leaves are used as a material, and the total
triterpene acid
loquat leaf is extracted by applying the
aqueous solution of the hydrophilic
organic solvent; under the alkaline condition and before cooling, impurities are removed by
filtration, and
activated carbon is decolored; extracting solution applies macroporous absorptive resin concentration to purify the corosolic acid, and the crude corosolic acid is further crystallized and recrystallized by applying the hydrophilic
organic solvent, so that the high-purity corosolic acid
crystal is prepared. By measurement, the purity of the white corosolic acid
crystal is larger than or equal to ninety eight percent. The preparation technique of the present invention has the advantages of simple technique, high efficiency of separation and purification, easy industrialized production, high purity of the prepared corosolic acid and low production cost, and moreover, the preparation technique of the present invention has the advantages of high efficiency,
high availability, long effect, little dosage, little
toxicity, little
side effect, convenient storage, convenient carrying and convenient administration, etc. of the modern Chinese
medicine.
