Publication number: 20100174097Abstract: Disclosed herein are simple and economical methods for the isolation of a high concentration of magnesium lithospermate B from Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix and the production of a Salviae miltiorrhizae extract containing a high concentration of magnesium lithospermate B. Without using expensive separation materials (Sephadex LH-20, MCI gel CHP 20P, silica gel), the methods can isolate magnesium lithospermate B at a yield twice as high as in conventional methods and can be used to purify a Salviae miltiorrhizae extract containing 16 times as much magnesium lithospermate as conventional methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2007Publication date: July 8, 2010Inventors: Man Kil Jung, Hyun Chul Lee
