Abstract

The invention provides a method for efficiently separating and purifying four alkaloids such as ephedrine from ephedra. Specifically, an ephedra medicinal material extracting solution passes through an ultrafiltration membrane to obtain a permeate, the permeate is enriched by a reversed-phase column 1 to obtain an enriched solution, and the enriched solution is purified by a reversed-phase column 2 to obtain four alkaloid compounds such as ephedrine and the like. The method is characterized in that a running water type continuous preparation technology for extracting ephedrine from ephedra is introduced, and four alkaloids such as high-purity ephedrine can be obtained only through one-time concentration; according to the method, the content of ephedrine is increased from about 2% to about 24% through enrichment of the reversed-phase column 1, the ephedrine with the purity of 99% is obtained through purification of the reversed-phase column 2, the recovery rate can reach 80%, meanwhile, three alkaloids including pseudoephedrine, demethylated ephedrine and demethylated pseudoephedrine are obtained, and the method is rapid, efficient, easy and convenient to operate and beneficial to industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of natural medicine extraction, in particular to an efficient separation method of high-purity ephedrine. Background technique [0002] Ephedra is the dry herbaceous stem of Ephedra sinica Stapf., Ephedra intermedia Schrenk et C.A.Mey. or Ephedra equisetina Bge. Ephedra has a long history of clinical application in traditional Chinese medicine. The effect of reducing swelling is used for colds and colds, chest tightness and asthma, bronchial asthma and other symptoms. Studies have shown that alkaloid compounds are the main medicinal components in ephedra, such as ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, desmethylephedrine, desmethylpseudoephedrine, etc. Among them, ephedrine has the most important medicinal value. [0003] Ephedrine is mainly used to prevent asthma attacks and treat habitual bronchial asthma and other diseases, and the market demand is very large. At present, the separation and purification methods of ephedrine ...
