  • Title: Preparative isolation and dual column high-performance liquid chromatography of ginkgolic acids from Ginkgo biloba.
    Author: van Beek TA, Wintermans MS.
    Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2001 Sep 28; 930(1-2):109-17. PubMed ID: 11681568.
    Abstract:
    A chromatographic procedure for the preparative isolation of six different 6-alkylsalicylic acids (syn. ginkgolic acids) with as alkyl substituents C13:0, C15:0, C15:1, C17:1, C17:2 and, tentatively C17:3 from Ginkgo biloba leaves was developed. The procedure consisted of a combination of normal-phase, reversed-phase and argentation chromatography. The compounds were characterised by means of UV, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry after silylation. A 15 cm C18 RP-HPLC column connected in series with a 20 cm silver(I) loaded cation exchanger HPLC column in combination with the solvent methanol-water (93:7) acidified with 0.1% formic acid was capable of separating the ginkgolic acids C13:0, C15:1, C17:2, C15:0 and C17:1 within 21 min on an analytical scale. The separation is based on a combination of reversed-phase mechanisms and double bond complexation. Detection took place by UV at 311 nm. The separation is a good starting point for the development of a quantitative procedure for the five major ginkgolic acids in Ginkgo leaves and standardised extracts.
