Abstract:
Five iridoid glycosides were prepared using molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction combined with preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. Hydrophilic molecularly imprinted polymers were synthesized using α-1-allyl-2-N-acetyl glucosamine, which introduced an abundance of hydrophilic groups into the polymers. Using molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction as the sample pretreatment procedure, five iridoid glycosides, gardenoside, geniposide, shanzhiside, geniposidic acid, and genipin-1-O-gentiobioside, were selectively enriched from Gardenia fructus extracts. Preparative high-performance liquid chromatography then provided iridoid glycosides with a purity >98%. The structures were elucidated by using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, optical rotation and melting point measurements, and mass spectrometry. The results demonstrate that molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction combined with preparative high-performance liquid chromatography was an efficient, rapid, and economical method for the preparation of bioactive compounds from natural products.

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
