Abstract

A simple and applicable column chromatographic and prep. HPLC methods with UV detection are described for the isolation of active constituents including new active compounds from the alcoholic extract of Chinese herbal medicine: Gastrodia rhizome (Orchidaceae) and Curcuma rhizome (Zingiberaceae), Ayurvedic medicine: Asparagus root (Liliaceae), and Thai herbal medicines: Derris stem (Leguminosae) and Ardisia fruit (Myrsinaceae), guided by the biological activity assay. These methods show good specificity with respect to commonly prescribed traditional medicines, and it could be successfully applied for phytochemical and pharmacological studies.
