Abstract: Pinoresinol diglucoside (PDG) from fresh eucommia leaves was prepared by ultrasonic-assisted solvent extraction at 60 ℃ for 30 min using 85% ethanol as the extractant at a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:4 (g/mL), vacuum filtration, and thin layer chromatographic separation, resulting a yield of 2.00%. The PDG standard was found to have a maximum absorption at 228 nm. Therefore, the wavelength was used to detect PDG in extracts fresh eucommia leaves by HPLC. A good linear relationship was found between peak area and PDG concentration in the range of 0.00238-0.0950 mg/mL (y=84.8x+0.838, r=0.9993). The average spike recovery of PDG in a known sample was 102%. The PDG content in fresh eucommia leaves was roughly 0.0960% and the extract obtained by the method contained 4.54% PDG. The method was simple to operate, solvent saving and effective in extracting and separating PDG in eucommia leaves.
