Objective:
To study the optimum extraction conditions of triterpenoid saponins from Picria felterrae.
Methods:
The optimum extraction conditions were investigated by the contents of the total glycosides and picfeltarraenine I A and I B, using orthogonal test.
Results:
The optimum extraction conditions were as follows: using 70% alcohol of 19 times than the amount of original material soaking 3 hours, extracting twice with hot reflux method at 80 degrees C, 3h the first time, 1 h the second time.
Conclusion:
The selected extraction conditions are convenient and practical with high accuracy, and could be used as a reference for industrial production.
