Virendra S. Rana; Indian Agricultural Research Institute (Indian Council of Agricultural Research), Pusa, New Delhi, India. He stated, "Swertiamarin, a bitter and potent hepatoprotective iridoid glucoside (~20 mg) was isolated by Centrifugal Partition Chromatography coupled with Diode Array Detector (DAD) from the crude methanolic extract (1.0 g) of its aerial parts using a biphasic solvent system composed of chloroformmethanol- water (86:74:20, v/v) in ascending mode for the first time. The purity of the compound was found to be >97%. The structure of swertiamarin was determined using spectroscopic."

Separation and Identification of Swertiamarin from Enicostema axillare Lam.Raynal by Centrifugal Partition Chromatography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-Mass Spectrometry*
Enicostema axillare, a bitter herb, has been used for the treatment of diabetes in traditional system of medicine in India. Swertiamarin, a bitter and potent hepatoprotective iridoid glucoside (~20 mg) was isolated by Centrifugal Partition Chromatography coupled with Diode Array Detector (DAD) from the crude methanolic extract (1.0 g) of its aerial parts using a biphasic solvent syst... view moreĀ»
