Abstract Polysaccharides, with an extensive distribution in natural products, represent a group of natural bioactive substances having widespread applications in health-care food products and as biomaterials. Devising an efficient system for the separation and purification of polysaccharides from natural sources, hence, is of utmost importance in the widespread applicability and feasibility of research for the development of polysaccharide-based products. High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) is a continuous liquid–liquid partitioning chromatography with the ability to support a high loading amount and crude material treatment. Due to its flexible two-phase solvent system, HSCCC has been successfully used in the separation of many natural products. Based on HSCCC unique advantages over general column chromatography and its enhanced superiority in this regard when coupled to aqueous two-phase system (ATPS), this review summarizes the separation and purification of various bioactive polysaccharides through HSCCC and its coupling to ATPS as an aid in future research in this direction.

High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was successfully applied to the preparative separation and purification of lancifodilactone C from the crude extracts of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. Following an initial cleaning-up step on the AB-8 macroporous resin, a preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) with a two-phase solvent system composed of Chloroform- n-Butyl alcohol- methanol -water(10:0.5:8:4,v/v) was used to isolate and separate lancifodilactone C from Schisandra Chinensis(Turcz.) Baill. A total of 101 mg lancifodilactone C with purities of 98.2% were obtained from 1000 mg crude extract in one-step elution and less than 1 h, and the structure identification was performed by UV, IR, MS,1H NMR and13C NMR.

In this paper, high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was established and successfully applied for the separation and purification of trans-resveratrol from Rhizma Polygoni Cuspidati. After extracted by microwave assisted extraction (MAE), the dry extract was directly dissolved in HSCCC solvent and introduced to HSCCC separation system. Two-phase solvent system of HSCCC was optimized. Trans-resveratrol was separated from extract of Rhizma Polygoni Cuspidati by high-speed counter-current chromatography in two-step using two different solvent systems composed of chloroform-methanol-water (4:3:2, v/v/v) and n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (3:5:4:6, v/v/v/v). From 200 mg of crude extract, 2.5 mg of trans-resveratrol was obtained at over 99% purity by HPLC analyses, and its chemical structure was identified by ESI-MS, 1H NMR.

An efficient strategy was developed for the rapid separation and enrichment of bafilomycin A1 (baf A1) from a crude extract of the marine microorganism Streptomyces lohii fermentation. This strategy comprises liquid−liquid extraction (LLE) with a three-phase solvent system (n-hexane–ethyl acetate–acetonitrile–water = 7:3:5:5, v/v/v/v) followed by separation using high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The results showed that a 480.2-mg fraction of baf A1-enriched extract in the middle phase of the three-phase solvent system was prepared from 4.9 g of crude extract after two consecutive one-step operations. Over 99% of soybean oil, the main hydrophobic waste in the crude extract, and the majority of hydrophilic impurities were distributed in the upper and lower phase, respectively. HSCCC was used with a two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane–acetonitrile–water (15:8:12, v/v/v) to isolate and purify baf A1 from the middle phase fraction, which yielded 77.4 mg of baf A1 with > 95% purity within 90 min. The overall recovery of baf A1 in the process was determined to be 95.7%. The use of a three-phase solvent system represents a novel strategy for the simultaneous removal of hydrophobic oil and hydrophilic impurities from a microbial fermentation extract.

High-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) and silica gel column chromatography were used to separate and purify alkaloids from Chinese herbal medicine Euchresta tubulosa Dunn. The purpose of this study is to provide a system mode for rapid separation of alkaloids from natural products. In the experiment, the eluent of silica gel column chromatography was screened by thin layer chromatography (TLC) to obtain four components with different polarity. Then, the two-phase solvent systems of different components were selected and purified by HSCCC. Four alkaloids with relatively high content were obtained by this mode successfully, including matrine (28 mg), oxymatrine (32 mg), N-formyl cytisine (24 mg), and cytisine (58 mg). The purity was higher than 91% by high performance liquid chromatography–ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) and their chemical structures were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron ionization mass spectrometry (EI-MS). The results showed that the combination of HSCCC and silica gel column chromatography could make alkaloids from natural products separate systematically.

A high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) method, using a two-phase solvent system composed of ethyl acetate/n-butanol/methanol/water (5:1:1:5, v/v/v/v), was successfully established to separate the five iridoid glucosides 7-O-ethyl sweroside (1), secologanin dimethylacetal (2), adinoside F (3), (7R)-secologain n-butyl methyl acetal (4) and adinoside G (5) from Lonicerae Japonicae Flos. Their purities were 96.8%, 98.5%, 93.3%, 98.0% and 99.9%, respectively. All the iridoid glucosides were identified by HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR. Compounds 3 and 5 are new iridoid glucosides. The anti-inflammatory tests showed that compounds 1–5 all expressed moderate inhibitory effects on β-glucuronidase release in rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF) with IC50 values ranging from 4.52 to 6.50 µM, while the antibacterial assays demonstrated that all the compounds displayed mild inhibitory activities against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 with MIC values ranging from 13.7 to 26.0 µg/mL.
