This invention proposes a purification method for
ascomycin and its application. The method includes acidifying and filtering the
ascomycin fermentation broth to obtain a bacterial residue; adding
organic solvent I to the bacterial residue for extraction to obtain an extract filtrate; sequentially adding a
salt solution, an alkaline solution, and an acid solution to the extract filtrate for treatment, and decolorizing the product to obtain a decolorized organic phase; evaporating the decolorized organic phase under reduced pressure, and sequentially treating it with
ethyl acetate and n-
hexane, followed by cooling and
filtration to obtain wet crystals 1, which are then washed with n-
hexane to obtain wet crystals 2;
drying the wet crystals 2 sequentially, dissolving them in
organic solvent II to obtain a pre-
crystallization liquid, crystallizing by low-temperature stirring, filtering, and then
vacuum drying the
solid phase. This method can obtain
ascomycin with high purity (not less than 99.2%), a yield higher than 61%, and is simple to operate, easy to scale up for industrial production, and has low production costs, making it highly valuable for application.
