Abstract: A cardiogenin major isomer is obtained from a methanol extract of Geum japonicum and separated from its minor isomer. The separation of the two isomers can be achieved by chiral phase chromatography, e.g., using a Chiralpak® IC™ column. The purity of the isolated cardiogenin major isomer can be further increased by crystallization, yielding isolated cardiogenin major isomer having HPLC purity as high as 98.97% (a/a) at 210 nm and a potency of 95.50%) (w/w).

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for separating enantiomers of a substituted 2-trifluoromethyl-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic acid or ester, a substituted 2-trifluoromethyl-1,2-dihydro-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid or ester, a substituted 2-trifluoromethyl-2H-thiochromene-3-carboxylic acid or ester, a substituted 3-trifluoromethyl-3,4-dihydro-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid or ester, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the acids or esters, using enantioselective fractional crystallization, enantioselective high performance liquid chromatography, enantioselective steady state recycling chromatography, or enantioselective multicolumn chromatography.
