Examples
example 1
[0111]This example illustrates the preparation of a Souroubea extract from leaves.
[0112]Souroubea sympetala leaves were collected at Bioforesta, Costa Rica. The leaves were immediately preserved in 95% ethanol and stored either at room temperature or in a refrigerator.
[0113]The leaves and the 95% ethanol were blended. Additional 95% ethanol was added to facilitate the blending process. The blended material was kept for 2 days at room temperature, then filtered. The dried filter cake, which is leaf fiber, weighed 178 g.
[0114]The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford 40.1 g of a dark powder. This powder was extracted 3 times by stirring rapidly with 150 ml of ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extracts were combined and the solvent was evaporated to afford 8.0 g of a dark viscous oil. This oil was used in rat anti-anxiety bio-assays.
example 2
[0115]This example illustrates the preparation of a Souroubea extract from fruit.
[0116]Souroubea sympetala fruit was collected at Bioforesta, Costa Rica, and preserved in 95% ethanol, and was processed similarly to the S. sympetala leaves. The results were as follows: Dried, insoluble in 95% ethanol, 68.5 g fiber; ethanol soluble material 8.5 g; dried ethyl acetate soluble extracts 0.37 g.
example 3
[0117]This example illustrates the chromatographic separation of components from leaves of Souroubea.
[0118]The ethyl acetate soluble extracts [5.70 g] were chromatographed on 250 g of silica gel using a solvent gradient from 100:0 hexane: ethyl acetate to 0:100 hexane: ethyl acetate. One hundred fractions, each containing approximately 20 ml of eluent, were collected.
[0119]The major components were found in fractions 15-25 (1.2 g). This material was shown by spectroscopics methods to be a mixture of β-amyrin, and germanicol.
[0120]Fractions 32-50 yielded 560 mg of a solid that was rechromatographed. Two pure substances were subsequently isolated. The less polar product, 26 mg, was identified as chondrillasterol and the more polar material as betulinic acid by comparison of melting points and spectroscopic data (MS and 1H NMR) with known literature data. The betulinic acid content in the ethyl acetate soluble extracts of S. sympetala is at least 0.44%.
