Process for recovering the dimeric indole alkaloids windblastine, des-N-methylvinblastine and vincristine from Vinca rosea.

摘要

Dimeric indole alkolids-vinblastine, des-N-methyl-vinblastine and vincristine-are purified by extracting leaves of Vinca rosea with acid, neutralizing the acidic solution, extracting the dimeric alkaloids into an aromatic solvent, optionally subjecting the extracted alkaloids to gel exclusion chromatography, precipitating the dimeric alkaloids as sulfate salts and finally separating the dimeric alkaloids by high-pressure chromatography.
