The invention discloses an extraction method of Diosbulbin B, which comprises the following steps: carrying out
reflux extraction on airpotato yam
acetone, and concentrating the extracting solution until no
acetone smell emits, thereby obtaining an extract; mixing the extract and
silica gel, adding
petroleum ether for extraction,
drying filter residues by
evaporation, adding
chloroform for extraction, and
drying the extracting solution by
evaporation, thereby obtaining a
chloroform part; mixing the
chloroform part and
silica gel, passing the mixture through columns, eluting with a
mixed solution of chloroform and
methanol in the volume ratio of 98:2, and collecting the eluent at multiple sections; recovering the
solvent from the eluent, dissolving in
acetone, crystallizing to obtain a
crystal, passing the filtrate through columns, and eluting with a
mixed solution of chloroform and
methanol in the volume ratio of 99:1; and recovering the
solvent from the eluent, dissolving in acetone, crystallizing, and merging the crystals to obtain the Diosbulbin B. In the invention, by selecting the extraction process and the eluents, the Diosbulbin B can be extracted, and the obtained extract does not contain other substances, thus further separation and purification are not needed. The method is relatively simple to operate, can be used for effectively extracting the Diosbulbin B, and has important meanings for further research on
pharmacology and
drug effects of the Diosbulbin B.
