1 Introduction
Sargentodoxa cuneata (Lardizabalaceae) is a well-known herbof traditional Chinesemedicine in China for treating abdom-inal pain due to acute appendicitis sore and ulcer dys-menorrheal amenorrhea traumatic swelling and rheumaticarthritis Modern studies have demonstrated that it pos-sesses various pharmacological effects such as antiviral [12] antibacterial [3] antioxidant [4 5] antitumor [6] anti-inflammatory [7] resistance myocardial ischemia [8] andantithrombotic [9] Among various active ingredients lirio-dendrin (Figure 1) has been proved to be one of the bioactivecompounds due to possessing of anti-inflammatory antinoci-ceptive [10] antiarrhythmic [11] antimyocardial ischemia [8]calcium channel antagonistic [12] inhibitory activity onHepG-2 cells [13] resisting glutamate-induced PC12 celldamage [14] increasing of heat shock factor 1 expression [15]and protecting SH-SY5Y cell effects [16]
Because of these beneficial pharmacological effects ofliriodendrin large quantities of pure compound are neededas chemical reference standard for further pharmacological
researches and further applications in pharmacy Thereforemany preparative purification methods of liriodendrin aredeveloped such as high-speed counter-current chromatog-raphy [17] HPLC [18] and silica gel column chromatography[10] But these methods have several disadvantages such ashaving large amount of organic solvents wastage being timeconsuming having poor yield and recovery or needing spe-cial instruments and are not suitable for large-scale industrialproduction Macroporous resins are one kind of durablehydrophilic polymer with advantages of good stability highadsorption capacity and selectivity fast adsorption and des-orption of mild conditions easy regeneration and saving ofthe cost The principle of adsorption is based on electrostaticforce hydrogen bonding interaction and size sieving actionbetween macroporous resins and different molecular fromthe solution [19] In recent years macroporous resins arewidely used as medium to enrich and separate the secondarymetabolites of traditional Chinesemedicine and nature plantincluding flavonoids [20 21] coumarins [22] terpenoids [23]lignans [24] and phenolics [25 26]

3 Results and Discussion
31 Resins Screening The selection of proper macroporousresins was performed in accordance with the structures andpolarities of adsorbates and resins [23] In the paper eightmacroporous resins of different properties were studied at25∘C As shown in Table 2 macroporous resins of nonpolarand weakly polar exhibited better adsorption capacity anddesorption ratios than others This may be caused for specialstructure of liriodendrin Although liriodendrin moleculecontained polar glucuronyl group the symmetrical structureof liriodendrin make it possess feature of nonpolar or weaklypolar Therefore nonpolar and weakly polar resins wereapplicable to adsorption of liriodendrin Adsorption capacityand adsorption ratios of D101 andX-5 resins were higher thanother resins and desorption ratios of AB-8 D101 and X-5resins were similar and higher than other resins ThereforeD101 and X-5 resins were selected to further evaluate for theirproperties in the following experiment
32 Adsorption Kinetics Adsorption kinetics on D101 and X-5 resins were evaluated at 25∘C Adsorption kinetic curveswere shown in Figure 2(a) For the two resins the adsorp-tion capacities toward liriodendrin increased rapidly in the30min and an asymptotic curve was reached at about120min The fast initial adsorption was likely due to rapidattachment of liriodendrin to the surface of resin and anasymptotic period due to diffusion of liriodendrin into themicropores of resin with high intraparticle mass transferresistance which indicated that the behaviors of two resinsbelonged to the fast adsorption resin type [31] The param-eters of three kinetic models were shown in Table 3(a)According to the calculated correlation coefficient (1198772 ge099) the pseudo-second-order kinetic model performed

study the antioxidant activity of liriodendrin isolated fromS cuneata was analysed using DPPH and ABTS
DPPH radical scavenging activity test aims to measurethe capacity of sample to scavenge the stable radical DPPHformed in solution by donation of hydrogen atom or anelectron [33] As shown in (Figure 5(a)) the IC
50value of
liriodendrin is 1361 120583gmL which is less important than thatof vitamin C (IC
50= 698 120583gmL)
ABTS∙+ scavenging assay is a widely accepted modelto determine the total antioxidant activity As shown in(Figure 5(b)) the IC
50values of liriodendrin and vitamin C
are 16842 and 2329 120583gmL respectivelyThe ABTS∙+ scavenging assay revealed that liriodendrin
possessed weak ABTS∙+ scavenging capacities However ithas been suggested that liriodendrin plays an important rolein DPPH inhibitory activities and oxygen radical absorbancecapacities On the other hand liriodendrin after oral admin-istration was in vivo transformation to syringaresinol whichpossesses strong antioxidant activity [10] The antioxidantactivity of liriodendrin in vitro and vivo needed to be furtherresearched

3 Results and Discussion
31 Resins Screening The selection of proper macroporousresins was performed in accordance with the structures andpolarities of adsorbates and resins [23] In the paper eightmacroporous resins of different properties were studied at25∘C As shown in Table 2 macroporous resins of nonpolarand weakly polar exhibited better adsorption capacity anddesorption ratios than others This may be caused for specialstructure of liriodendrin Although liriodendrin moleculecontained polar glucuronyl group the symmetrical structureof liriodendrin make it possess feature of nonpolar or weaklypolar Therefore nonpolar and weakly polar resins wereapplicable to adsorption of liriodendrin Adsorption capacityand adsorption ratios of D101 andX-5 resins were higher thanother resins and desorption ratios of AB-8 D101 and X-5resins were similar and higher than other resins ThereforeD101 and X-5 resins were selected to further evaluate for theirproperties in the following experiment
32 Adsorption Kinetics Adsorption kinetics on D101 and X-5 resins were evaluated at 25∘C Adsorption kinetic curveswere shown in Figure 2(a) For the two resins the adsorp-tion capacities toward liriodendrin increased rapidly in the30min and an asymptotic curve was reached at about120min The fast initial adsorption was likely due to rapidattachment of liriodendrin to the surface of resin and anasymptotic period due to diffusion of liriodendrin into themicropores of resin with high intraparticle mass transferresistance which indicated that the behaviors of two resinsbelonged to the fast adsorption resin type [31] The param-eters of three kinetic models were shown in Table 3(a)According to the calculated correlation coefficient (1198772 ge099) the pseudo-second-order kinetic model performed

X-5 and D101 resin was the same
33 Adsorption Isotherms Adsorption isotherms curveswereobtained for liriodendrin on D101 and X-5 resins at 25∘C Asshown in Figure 2(b) adsorption capacities increased withincreasing initial concentration and a turning point wasobserved when the initial liriodendrin concentration was1705mgmLTherefore this concentration of liriodendrin insample solution was selected in the following test Table 3(b)listed the two isotherms equations and relative parametersThe calculated correlation coefficients were shown that theLangmuir model fitted the test data more suitable than theFreundlich model in the studied concentration range whichsuggested themonolayer coverage of liriodendrin on the resin[22 28] The theoretical maximum adsorption capacities 1198760
on D101 and X-5 resins determined from the Langmuirequation were 154321mgg and 167504mggTherefore X-5resin was selected for dynamic adsorption and desorptiontests
34 Dynamic Adsorption-Desorption Tests
341 Dynamic Breakthrough Curves on X-5 Resin Dynamicbreakthrough tests were studies based on the feed con-centration the volume of effluent flow rate and temper-ature The initial feed concentration of liriodendrin was1705mgmL (from Section 33) and the temperature at 25∘Cand then the effect of flow rate was investigated As shownin Figure 3(a) the different flow rates showed noticeabledifferent breakthrough volume When the flow rate was1 BVh the best adsorption performance could be obtainedThe breakthrough volume of liriodendrin on X-5 resin was55mL (about 2 BV) at a flow rate of 1 BVh when the lirio-dendrin concentration in effluents reached 1 of the initialconcentration [18] The adsorption capacity of liriodendrinon X-5 resin was 15630mgg dry resin

342 Dynamic Desorption on X-5 Resin In the process ofdynamic desorption the concentration and the volume ofdesorption solution were investigated Dynamic desorptionwas performed with gradient and isocratic elution modes atthe flow rate of 1 BVh respectively As shown in Figure 3(b)the desorption ability increased by the increase of ethanolconcentration When the concentration of ethanol reached40 vv the liriodendrin absorbed by X-5 resin could befully elutedTherefore 40 vv ethanol aqueous solution wasselected as the eluent in isocratic elutionThe isocratic elutionresult showed that the concentration of liriodendrin reachedmaximum values when eluting with 2 BV of 40 vv ethanolaqueous solutions When the volume of elution reached5 BV liriodendrin could be completely desorbed from X-5 resin (Figure 3(c)) Therefore the volume of desorptionsolution was selected to be 5 BV Under the above optimizedcondition all the 40 vv ethanol elution was collected andconcentrated to dryness under reduced pressure at 60∘C togive refined product
35 Purity Analysis and Identification of Liriodendrin Afterpurification on X-5 resin the purity of liriodendrin increasedfrom 085 of S cuneata extracts to 4142 and the liri-odendrin of recovery rate was 889 Such crystallizationresulted in a product with 9748 purity and the recovery ratewas 637 (Table 4) As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b) theHPLC chromatograms of S cuneata extracts before and aftertreatment on X-5 resin were compared Figure 4(c) showedthat the purity of liriodendrin crystals was determined to be9748 by HPLC For further chemical structure identifica-tion of liriodendrin NMR analysis was performed and thedata was shown as follows 1H-NMR (DMSO-d

study the antioxidant activity of liriodendrin isolated fromS cuneata was analysed using DPPH and ABTS
DPPH radical scavenging activity test aims to measurethe capacity of sample to scavenge the stable radical DPPHformed in solution by donation of hydrogen atom or anelectron [33] As shown in (Figure 5(a)) the IC
50value of
liriodendrin is 1361 120583gmL which is less important than thatof vitamin C (IC
50= 698 120583gmL)
ABTS∙+ scavenging assay is a widely accepted modelto determine the total antioxidant activity As shown in(Figure 5(b)) the IC
50values of liriodendrin and vitamin C
are 16842 and 2329 120583gmL respectivelyThe ABTS∙+ scavenging assay revealed that liriodendrin
possessed weak ABTS∙+ scavenging capacities However ithas been suggested that liriodendrin plays an important rolein DPPH inhibitory activities and oxygen radical absorbancecapacities On the other hand liriodendrin after oral admin-istration was in vivo transformation to syringaresinol whichpossesses strong antioxidant activity [10] The antioxidantactivity of liriodendrin in vitro and vivo needed to be furtherresearched

3 Results and Discussion
31 Resins Screening The selection of proper macroporousresins was performed in accordance with the structures andpolarities of adsorbates and resins [23] In the paper eightmacroporous resins of different properties were studied at25∘C As shown in Table 2 macroporous resins of nonpolarand weakly polar exhibited better adsorption capacity anddesorption ratios than others This may be caused for specialstructure of liriodendrin Although liriodendrin moleculecontained polar glucuronyl group the symmetrical structureof liriodendrin make it possess feature of nonpolar or weaklypolar Therefore nonpolar and weakly polar resins wereapplicable to adsorption of liriodendrin Adsorption capacityand adsorption ratios of D101 andX-5 resins were higher thanother resins and desorption ratios of AB-8 D101 and X-5resins were similar and higher than other resins ThereforeD101 and X-5 resins were selected to further evaluate for theirproperties in the following experiment
32 Adsorption Kinetics Adsorption kinetics on D101 and X-5 resins were evaluated at 25∘C Adsorption kinetic curveswere shown in Figure 2(a) For the two resins the adsorp-tion capacities toward liriodendrin increased rapidly in the30min and an asymptotic curve was reached at about120min The fast initial adsorption was likely due to rapidattachment of liriodendrin to the surface of resin and anasymptotic period due to diffusion of liriodendrin into themicropores of resin with high intraparticle mass transferresistance which indicated that the behaviors of two resinsbelonged to the fast adsorption resin type [31] The param-eters of three kinetic models were shown in Table 3(a)According to the calculated correlation coefficient (1198772 ge099) the pseudo-second-order kinetic model performed

X-5 and D101 resin was the same
33 Adsorption Isotherms Adsorption isotherms curveswereobtained for liriodendrin on D101 and X-5 resins at 25∘C Asshown in Figure 2(b) adsorption capacities increased withincreasing initial concentration and a turning point wasobserved when the initial liriodendrin concentration was1705mgmLTherefore this concentration of liriodendrin insample solution was selected in the following test Table 3(b)listed the two isotherms equations and relative parametersThe calculated correlation coefficients were shown that theLangmuir model fitted the test data more suitable than theFreundlich model in the studied concentration range whichsuggested themonolayer coverage of liriodendrin on the resin[22 28] The theoretical maximum adsorption capacities 1198760
on D101 and X-5 resins determined from the Langmuirequation were 154321mgg and 167504mggTherefore X-5resin was selected for dynamic adsorption and desorptiontests

study the antioxidant activity of liriodendrin isolated fromS cuneata was analysed using DPPH and ABTS
DPPH radical scavenging activity test aims to measurethe capacity of sample to scavenge the stable radical DPPHformed in solution by donation of hydrogen atom or anelectron [33] As shown in (Figure 5(a)) the IC
50value of
liriodendrin is 1361 120583gmL which is less important than thatof vitamin C (IC
50= 698 120583gmL)
ABTS∙+ scavenging assay is a widely accepted modelto determine the total antioxidant activity As shown in(Figure 5(b)) the IC
50values of liriodendrin and vitamin C
are 16842 and 2329 120583gmL respectivelyThe ABTS∙+ scavenging assay revealed that liriodendrin
possessed weak ABTS∙+ scavenging capacities However ithas been suggested that liriodendrin plays an important rolein DPPH inhibitory activities and oxygen radical absorbancecapacities On the other hand liriodendrin after oral admin-istration was in vivo transformation to syringaresinol whichpossesses strong antioxidant activity [10] The antioxidantactivity of liriodendrin in vitro and vivo needed to be furtherresearched

3 Results and Discussion
31 Resins Screening The selection of proper macroporousresins was performed in accordance with the structures andpolarities of adsorbates and resins [23] In the paper eightmacroporous resins of different properties were studied at25∘C As shown in Table 2 macroporous resins of nonpolarand weakly polar exhibited better adsorption capacity anddesorption ratios than others This may be caused for specialstructure of liriodendrin Although liriodendrin moleculecontained polar glucuronyl group the symmetrical structureof liriodendrin make it possess feature of nonpolar or weaklypolar Therefore nonpolar and weakly polar resins wereapplicable to adsorption of liriodendrin Adsorption capacityand adsorption ratios of D101 andX-5 resins were higher thanother resins and desorption ratios of AB-8 D101 and X-5resins were similar and higher than other resins ThereforeD101 and X-5 resins were selected to further evaluate for theirproperties in the following experiment
32 Adsorption Kinetics Adsorption kinetics on D101 and X-5 resins were evaluated at 25∘C Adsorption kinetic curveswere shown in Figure 2(a) For the two resins the adsorp-tion capacities toward liriodendrin increased rapidly in the30min and an asymptotic curve was reached at about120min The fast initial adsorption was likely due to rapidattachment of liriodendrin to the surface of resin and anasymptotic period due to diffusion of liriodendrin into themicropores of resin with high intraparticle mass transferresistance which indicated that the behaviors of two resinsbelonged to the fast adsorption resin type [31] The param-eters of three kinetic models were shown in Table 3(a)According to the calculated correlation coefficient (1198772 ge099) the pseudo-second-order kinetic model performed

X-5 and D101 resin was the same
33 Adsorption Isotherms Adsorption isotherms curveswereobtained for liriodendrin on D101 and X-5 resins at 25∘C Asshown in Figure 2(b) adsorption capacities increased withincreasing initial concentration and a turning point wasobserved when the initial liriodendrin concentration was1705mgmLTherefore this concentration of liriodendrin insample solution was selected in the following test Table 3(b)listed the two isotherms equations and relative parametersThe calculated correlation coefficients were shown that theLangmuir model fitted the test data more suitable than theFreundlich model in the studied concentration range whichsuggested themonolayer coverage of liriodendrin on the resin[22 28] The theoretical maximum adsorption capacities 1198760
on D101 and X-5 resins determined from the Langmuirequation were 154321mgg and 167504mggTherefore X-5resin was selected for dynamic adsorption and desorptiontests
34 Dynamic Adsorption-Desorption Tests
341 Dynamic Breakthrough Curves on X-5 Resin Dynamicbreakthrough tests were studies based on the feed con-centration the volume of effluent flow rate and temper-ature The initial feed concentration of liriodendrin was1705mgmL (from Section 33) and the temperature at 25∘Cand then the effect of flow rate was investigated As shownin Figure 3(a) the different flow rates showed noticeabledifferent breakthrough volume When the flow rate was1 BVh the best adsorption performance could be obtainedThe breakthrough volume of liriodendrin on X-5 resin was55mL (about 2 BV) at a flow rate of 1 BVh when the lirio-dendrin concentration in effluents reached 1 of the initialconcentration [18] The adsorption capacity of liriodendrinon X-5 resin was 15630mgg dry resin

342 Dynamic Desorption on X-5 Resin In the process ofdynamic desorption the concentration and the volume ofdesorption solution were investigated Dynamic desorptionwas performed with gradient and isocratic elution modes atthe flow rate of 1 BVh respectively As shown in Figure 3(b)the desorption ability increased by the increase of ethanolconcentration When the concentration of ethanol reached40 vv the liriodendrin absorbed by X-5 resin could befully elutedTherefore 40 vv ethanol aqueous solution wasselected as the eluent in isocratic elutionThe isocratic elutionresult showed that the concentration of liriodendrin reachedmaximum values when eluting with 2 BV of 40 vv ethanolaqueous solutions When the volume of elution reached5 BV liriodendrin could be completely desorbed from X-5 resin (Figure 3(c)) Therefore the volume of desorptionsolution was selected to be 5 BV Under the above optimizedcondition all the 40 vv ethanol elution was collected andconcentrated to dryness under reduced pressure at 60∘C togive refined product
35 Purity Analysis and Identification of Liriodendrin Afterpurification on X-5 resin the purity of liriodendrin increasedfrom 085 of S cuneata extracts to 4142 and the liri-odendrin of recovery rate was 889 Such crystallizationresulted in a product with 9748 purity and the recovery ratewas 637 (Table 4) As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b) theHPLC chromatograms of S cuneata extracts before and aftertreatment on X-5 resin were compared Figure 4(c) showedthat the purity of liriodendrin crystals was determined to be9748 by HPLC For further chemical structure identifica-tion of liriodendrin NMR analysis was performed and thedata was shown as follows 1H-NMR (DMSO-d

study the antioxidant activity of liriodendrin isolated fromS cuneata was analysed using DPPH and ABTS
DPPH radical scavenging activity test aims to measurethe capacity of sample to scavenge the stable radical DPPHformed in solution by donation of hydrogen atom or anelectron [33] As shown in (Figure 5(a)) the IC
50value of
liriodendrin is 1361 120583gmL which is less important than thatof vitamin C (IC
50= 698 120583gmL)
ABTS∙+ scavenging assay is a widely accepted modelto determine the total antioxidant activity As shown in(Figure 5(b)) the IC
50values of liriodendrin and vitamin C
are 16842 and 2329 120583gmL respectivelyThe ABTS∙+ scavenging assay revealed that liriodendrin
possessed weak ABTS∙+ scavenging capacities However ithas been suggested that liriodendrin plays an important rolein DPPH inhibitory activities and oxygen radical absorbancecapacities On the other hand liriodendrin after oral admin-istration was in vivo transformation to syringaresinol whichpossesses strong antioxidant activity [10] The antioxidantactivity of liriodendrin in vitro and vivo needed to be furtherresearched

better to describe the adsorption process on X-5 and D101resins which suggested that the adsorption rate was con-trolled by chemical adsorption mechanism through sharingor exchange of electrons between adsorbate and adsorbent[32] In terms of the rate constant 119896
2 the adsorption rate of
X-5 and D101 resin was the same
33 Adsorption Isotherms Adsorption isotherms curveswereobtained for liriodendrin on D101 and X-5 resins at 25∘C Asshown in Figure 2(b) adsorption capacities increased withincreasing initial concentration and a turning point wasobserved when the initial liriodendrin concentration was1705mgmLTherefore this concentration of liriodendrin insample solution was selected in the following test Table 3(b)listed the two isotherms equations and relative parametersThe calculated correlation coefficients were shown that theLangmuir model fitted the test data more suitable than theFreundlich model in the studied concentration range whichsuggested themonolayer coverage of liriodendrin on the resin[22 28] The theoretical maximum adsorption capacities 1198760
on D101 and X-5 resins determined from the Langmuirequation were 154321mgg and 167504mggTherefore X-5resin was selected for dynamic adsorption and desorptiontests
34 Dynamic Adsorption-Desorption Tests
341 Dynamic Breakthrough Curves on X-5 Resin Dynamicbreakthrough tests were studies based on the feed con-centration the volume of effluent flow rate and temper-ature The initial feed concentration of liriodendrin was1705mgmL (from Section 33) and the temperature at 25∘Cand then the effect of flow rate was investigated As shownin Figure 3(a) the different flow rates showed noticeabledifferent breakthrough volume When the flow rate was1 BVh the best adsorption performance could be obtainedThe breakthrough volume of liriodendrin on X-5 resin was55mL (about 2 BV) at a flow rate of 1 BVh when the lirio-dendrin concentration in effluents reached 1 of the initialconcentration [18] The adsorption capacity of liriodendrinon X-5 resin was 15630mgg dry resin

342 Dynamic Desorption on X-5 Resin In the process ofdynamic desorption the concentration and the volume ofdesorption solution were investigated Dynamic desorptionwas performed with gradient and isocratic elution modes atthe flow rate of 1 BVh respectively As shown in Figure 3(b)the desorption ability increased by the increase of ethanolconcentration When the concentration of ethanol reached40 vv the liriodendrin absorbed by X-5 resin could befully elutedTherefore 40 vv ethanol aqueous solution wasselected as the eluent in isocratic elutionThe isocratic elutionresult showed that the concentration of liriodendrin reachedmaximum values when eluting with 2 BV of 40 vv ethanolaqueous solutions When the volume of elution reached5 BV liriodendrin could be completely desorbed from X-5 resin (Figure 3(c)) Therefore the volume of desorptionsolution was selected to be 5 BV Under the above optimizedcondition all the 40 vv ethanol elution was collected andconcentrated to dryness under reduced pressure at 60∘C togive refined product
35 Purity Analysis and Identification of Liriodendrin Afterpurification on X-5 resin the purity of liriodendrin increasedfrom 085 of S cuneata extracts to 4142 and the liri-odendrin of recovery rate was 889 Such crystallizationresulted in a product with 9748 purity and the recovery ratewas 637 (Table 4) As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b) theHPLC chromatograms of S cuneata extracts before and aftertreatment on X-5 resin were compared Figure 4(c) showedthat the purity of liriodendrin crystals was determined to be9748 by HPLC For further chemical structure identifica-tion of liriodendrin NMR analysis was performed and thedata was shown as follows 1H-NMR (DMSO-d

study the antioxidant activity of liriodendrin isolated fromS cuneata was analysed using DPPH and ABTS
DPPH radical scavenging activity test aims to measurethe capacity of sample to scavenge the stable radical DPPHformed in solution by donation of hydrogen atom or anelectron [33] As shown in (Figure 5(a)) the IC
50value of
liriodendrin is 1361 120583gmL which is less important than thatof vitamin C (IC
50= 698 120583gmL)
ABTS∙+ scavenging assay is a widely accepted modelto determine the total antioxidant activity As shown in(Figure 5(b)) the IC
50values of liriodendrin and vitamin C
are 16842 and 2329 120583gmL respectivelyThe ABTS∙+ scavenging assay revealed that liriodendrin
possessed weak ABTS∙+ scavenging capacities However ithas been suggested that liriodendrin plays an important rolein DPPH inhibitory activities and oxygen radical absorbancecapacities On the other hand liriodendrin after oral admin-istration was in vivo transformation to syringaresinol whichpossesses strong antioxidant activity [10] The antioxidantactivity of liriodendrin in vitro and vivo needed to be furtherresearched
4 Conclusions
In the study highly concentrated liriodendrin was success-fully prepared After S cuneata extracts were purified on

better to describe the adsorption process on X-5 and D101resins which suggested that the adsorption rate was con-trolled by chemical adsorption mechanism through sharingor exchange of electrons between adsorbate and adsorbent[32] In terms of the rate constant 119896
2 the adsorption rate of
X-5 and D101 resin was the same
33 Adsorption Isotherms Adsorption isotherms curveswereobtained for liriodendrin on D101 and X-5 resins at 25∘C Asshown in Figure 2(b) adsorption capacities increased withincreasing initial concentration and a turning point wasobserved when the initial liriodendrin concentration was1705mgmLTherefore this concentration of liriodendrin insample solution was selected in the following test Table 3(b)listed the two isotherms equations and relative parametersThe calculated correlation coefficients were shown that theLangmuir model fitted the test data more suitable than theFreundlich model in the studied concentration range whichsuggested themonolayer coverage of liriodendrin on the resin[22 28] The theoretical maximum adsorption capacities 1198760
on D101 and X-5 resins determined from the Langmuirequation were 154321mgg and 167504mggTherefore X-5resin was selected for dynamic adsorption and desorptiontests
34 Dynamic Adsorption-Desorption Tests
341 Dynamic Breakthrough Curves on X-5 Resin Dynamicbreakthrough tests were studies based on the feed con-centration the volume of effluent flow rate and temper-ature The initial feed concentration of liriodendrin was1705mgmL (from Section 33) and the temperature at 25∘Cand then the effect of flow rate was investigated As shownin Figure 3(a) the different flow rates showed noticeabledifferent breakthrough volume When the flow rate was1 BVh the best adsorption performance could be obtainedThe breakthrough volume of liriodendrin on X-5 resin was55mL (about 2 BV) at a flow rate of 1 BVh when the lirio-dendrin concentration in effluents reached 1 of the initialconcentration [18] The adsorption capacity of liriodendrinon X-5 resin was 15630mgg dry resin

342 Dynamic Desorption on X-5 Resin In the process ofdynamic desorption the concentration and the volume ofdesorption solution were investigated Dynamic desorptionwas performed with gradient and isocratic elution modes atthe flow rate of 1 BVh respectively As shown in Figure 3(b)the desorption ability increased by the increase of ethanolconcentration When the concentration of ethanol reached40 vv the liriodendrin absorbed by X-5 resin could befully elutedTherefore 40 vv ethanol aqueous solution wasselected as the eluent in isocratic elutionThe isocratic elutionresult showed that the concentration of liriodendrin reachedmaximum values when eluting with 2 BV of 40 vv ethanolaqueous solutions When the volume of elution reached5 BV liriodendrin could be completely desorbed from X-5 resin (Figure 3(c)) Therefore the volume of desorptionsolution was selected to be 5 BV Under the above optimizedcondition all the 40 vv ethanol elution was collected andconcentrated to dryness under reduced pressure at 60∘C togive refined product
35 Purity Analysis and Identification of Liriodendrin Afterpurification on X-5 resin the purity of liriodendrin increasedfrom 085 of S cuneata extracts to 4142 and the liri-odendrin of recovery rate was 889 Such crystallizationresulted in a product with 9748 purity and the recovery ratewas 637 (Table 4) As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b) theHPLC chromatograms of S cuneata extracts before and aftertreatment on X-5 resin were compared Figure 4(c) showedthat the purity of liriodendrin crystals was determined to be9748 by HPLC For further chemical structure identifica-tion of liriodendrin NMR analysis was performed and thedata was shown as follows 1H-NMR (DMSO-d

study the antioxidant activity of liriodendrin isolated fromS cuneata was analysed using DPPH and ABTS
DPPH radical scavenging activity test aims to measurethe capacity of sample to scavenge the stable radical DPPHformed in solution by donation of hydrogen atom or anelectron [33] As shown in (Figure 5(a)) the IC
50value of
liriodendrin is 1361 120583gmL which is less important than thatof vitamin C (IC
50= 698 120583gmL)
ABTS∙+ scavenging assay is a widely accepted modelto determine the total antioxidant activity As shown in(Figure 5(b)) the IC
50values of liriodendrin and vitamin C
are 16842 and 2329 120583gmL respectivelyThe ABTS∙+ scavenging assay revealed that liriodendrin
possessed weak ABTS∙+ scavenging capacities However ithas been suggested that liriodendrin plays an important rolein DPPH inhibitory activities and oxygen radical absorbancecapacities On the other hand liriodendrin after oral admin-istration was in vivo transformation to syringaresinol whichpossesses strong antioxidant activity [10] The antioxidantactivity of liriodendrin in vitro and vivo needed to be furtherresearched

342 Dynamic Desorption on X-5 Resin In the process ofdynamic desorption the concentration and the volume ofdesorption solution were investigated Dynamic desorptionwas performed with gradient and isocratic elution modes atthe flow rate of 1 BVh respectively As shown in Figure 3(b)the desorption ability increased by the increase of ethanolconcentration When the concentration of ethanol reached40 vv the liriodendrin absorbed by X-5 resin could befully elutedTherefore 40 vv ethanol aqueous solution wasselected as the eluent in isocratic elutionThe isocratic elutionresult showed that the concentration of liriodendrin reachedmaximum values when eluting with 2 BV of 40 vv ethanolaqueous solutions When the volume of elution reached5 BV liriodendrin could be completely desorbed from X-5 resin (Figure 3(c)) Therefore the volume of desorptionsolution was selected to be 5 BV Under the above optimizedcondition all the 40 vv ethanol elution was collected andconcentrated to dryness under reduced pressure at 60∘C togive refined product
35 Purity Analysis and Identification of Liriodendrin Afterpurification on X-5 resin the purity of liriodendrin increasedfrom 085 of S cuneata extracts to 4142 and the liri-odendrin of recovery rate was 889 Such crystallizationresulted in a product with 9748 purity and the recovery ratewas 637 (Table 4) As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b) theHPLC chromatograms of S cuneata extracts before and aftertreatment on X-5 resin were compared Figure 4(c) showedthat the purity of liriodendrin crystals was determined to be9748 by HPLC For further chemical structure identifica-tion of liriodendrin NMR analysis was performed and thedata was shown as follows 1H-NMR (DMSO-d

Figure 4 HPLC chromatograms of samples before treatment (a)and after treatment (b) on X-5 resin liriodendrin purified by crys-tallization (c)
study the antioxidant activity of liriodendrin isolated fromS cuneata was analysed using DPPH and ABTS
DPPH radical scavenging activity test aims to measurethe capacity of sample to scavenge the stable radical DPPHformed in solution by donation of hydrogen atom or anelectron [33] As shown in (Figure 5(a)) the IC
50value of
liriodendrin is 1361 120583gmL which is less important than thatof vitamin C (IC
50= 698 120583gmL)
ABTS∙+ scavenging assay is a widely accepted modelto determine the total antioxidant activity As shown in(Figure 5(b)) the IC
50values of liriodendrin and vitamin C
are 16842 and 2329 120583gmL respectivelyThe ABTS∙+ scavenging assay revealed that liriodendrin
possessed weak ABTS∙+ scavenging capacities However ithas been suggested that liriodendrin plays an important rolein DPPH inhibitory activities and oxygen radical absorbancecapacities On the other hand liriodendrin after oral admin-istration was in vivo transformation to syringaresinol whichpossesses strong antioxidant activity [10] The antioxidantactivity of liriodendrin in vitro and vivo needed to be furtherresearched
4 Conclusions
In the study highly concentrated liriodendrin was success-fully prepared After S cuneata extracts were purified on
