Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for isolating quercetin-3-O-alpha-rhamnoside and campherol-3-O-alpha-rhamnoside from ginger is provided to ensure antioxidation and liver protection without side effects and toxicity. CONSTITUTION: A method for extracting and isolating quercetin-3-O-alpha-rhamnoside or campherol-3-O-alpha-rhamnoside comprises: a step of preparing crude extract from Lindera obtusiloba Blume using water or alcohol; a step of treating hexane to obtain aqueous layer; and a step of treating ethyl acetate to obtain ethyl acetate layer. The alcohol is methanol, ethanol, propanol, or butanol. An antioxidtion composition contains quercetin-3-O-alpha-rhamnoside or campherol-3-O-alpha-rhamnoside as an active ingredient.
Abstract:
A composition comprising plantamajoside derived from a natural plant is provided to show increased efficacy than a conventional diabetes/diabetic complications inhibiting material without side effects and toxicity, thereby being widely used as a health functional food or a medicine for preventing and treating the diabetes/diabetic complications. A composition for preventing or treating diabetes and diabetic complications comprises plantamajoside derived from Plantago asiatica as an effective ingredient. A method for preparing the composition comprises the steps of: (a) powderizing an alcohol extract of the Plantago asiatica; (b) after dissolving the powder in water, extracting the solution in sequence using hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and butanol in accordance with a polarity; and (c) subjecting the organic solvent extract obtained from the step(b) to gel filtration chromatography. Further, the gel filtration chromatography is performed by using a silica gel 60 or Sepadex LH-20.
