The invention discloses a method for preparing
quercitrin and
kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside from a Chinese redbud leaf extract, and belongs to the technical field of medicines. The method comprises the following steps: taking dried Chinese redbud leaves as raw materials, smashing the leaves, then extracting the leaves with 75% ethyl
alcohol at the temperature of 50 DEG C, subjecting the extract to vacuum concentration, recovering the
solvent, and obtaining a total extract; adding water to dissolve the total extract, and sequentially extracting with
petroleum ether,
dichloromethane and
ethyl acetate to obtain different organic
layers; carrying out vacuum concentration on the
ethyl acetate layer, adding water into the obtained extract for dissolving, making the extract flow through AB-8 macroporous adsorption resin, and carrying out
gradient elution by using
ethanol with different concentrations to obtain corresponding
elution parts; and carrying out vacuum concentration on the 60%
ethanol elution part, dissolving with
methanol, passing through a
Sephadex LH-20 gel
chromatographic column, and eluting with
methanol to obtain a pure product of
quercitrin and
kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside. The extraction process is simple, a pure product of
quercitrin and
kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside is efficiently obtained, the used separation materials and solvents can be recycled, and the method is green,
environmentally friendly, large in extraction amount and suitable for industrial production.
