entadamide-a and 1-1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl

The objective of this paper was to develop a preparative method for the separation and purification of phaseoloidin, entadamide A, and entadamide A-β-D-glucopyranoside from the crude extract of Entada phaseoloides by high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) for the first time. Optimized by orthogonal experiments, the extraction conditions were extraction temperature of 65°C, solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:15 (g/mL), ethanol concentration of 40%, and extraction time of 2.5 h. Using n-butanol-acetic acid-water (4:1:5, v/v/v) as the two-phase solvent system, 38.79 mg phaseoloidin (the purity was 99.3% with a recovery of 98.1%), 34.85 mg entadamide A (the purity was 96.4% with a recovery of 98.5%), and 33.97 mg entadamide A-β-D-glucopyranoside (the purity was 98.6% with a recovery of 97.7%) were obtained from 500 mg crude extract by HSCCC in head-to-tail elution mode. The retention ratio of stationary phase was 51.0%. According to the antioxidant activity assays, phaseoloidin, entadamide A, and entadamide A-β-D-glucopyranoside had certain scavenging abilities on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals.
