Abstract

Centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) has been applied to the preparative fractionation of pharmacologically active polyphenols contained in the crude extracts from three medicinal plants. 1) (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate, the main component of tea polyphenols, which inhibits tumor promotion, 2) oligomeric hydrolyzable tannins, having host-mediated anti-tumor activity and antiviral activity, contained in Woodfordia fruticosa flower, 3) polyphenolic components of licorice, having anti-HIV activity. The results obtained with cartridges of medium volume and of small volume were compared during the fractionation of tea polyphenols.
