Rapid separation of three glucosylated resveratrol analogues from the invasive plant Polygonum cuspidatum by high-speed countercurrent chromatography

J Sep Sci. 2009 Sep;32(17):2979-84. doi: 10.1002/jssc.200900057.

Abstract

Three glucosylated resveratrol analogues (piceid, piceatannol glucoside, resveratroloside) were successfully isolated from the crude MeOH extract of the invasive plant species Polygonum cuspidatum by semi-preparative high-speed countercurrent chromatography with a two-phase solvent system composed of cyclohexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (1:5:1:5, v/v/v/v). Piceid (23 mg), resveratroloside (17 mg), piceatannol glucoside (15 mg) of purities over 80% were isolated from 500 mg crude MeOH extract in one step. Subsequent passage over a SPE column was used to quickly bring their purities to over 90%. The purities were determined by HPLC analysis and their structures were elucidated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H-NMR), HMBC, ESI-MS and HR-MS.
