The invention discloses a method for separating and purifying Sichuan pepper
alkaloid based on macroporous adsorption resin and determining the content of the Sichuan pepper
alkaloid. The method comprises the steps of extracting, separating and purifying the Sichuan pepper
alkaloid, determining the content and formulating the
quality standard of the Sichuan pepper alkaloid. NKA-9 type macroporous adsorption resin is adopted to effectively separate and enrich pepper alkaloid, and resin pretreatment conditions, an extraction process and
elution conditions (the
ethanol concentration is 40%-95%, the
solid-
liquid ratio is 1: 10-1: 30, the extraction temperature is 45-75 DEG C, and the pH is 2.5-5.5) are optimized, so that the purity and the
recovery rate of alkaloid are remarkably improved. According to the present invention, the
quality standard of the Sichuan pepper alkaloid is established by using the
HPLC method, and the
content determination methods of
sinomenine, ethyoxyl
chelerythrine,
chelerythrine and rutaecarpin are set, such that the stability, the
repeatability and the high
recovery rate of the Sichuan pepper alkaloid are ensured. Precision, stability and sample
recovery rate experiments prove that the method disclosed by the invention has good stability and
repeatability and is suitable for industrial extraction and application of the pepper alkaloid.
