An efficient immunoaffinity chromatographic method for extraction and purification of papaverine from samples of pericarpium papaveris and food products.
A highly selective immunoaffinity column was obtained by coupling anti-papaverine polyclonal antibodies to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. It was found that the coupling efficiency and performance of the immunoaffinity column were greatly improved by prolonging the coupling reaction time from 3 h at 20 degrees C with shaking to incubation overnight at 4 degrees C after the 3 h shaking reaction. The pH and ionic strength were observed to be the most important factors that influence the binding of papaverine to the immunoaffinity column. Using 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 8.3) and methanol-water (80:20, v/v) as the loading and eluting solutions, respectively, papaverine was first retained on the column and then quantitatively eluted out with a mean recovery of 86% at a loading concentration of 1 microg/mL. When applied to real samples of pericarpium papaveris and food products, the established immunoaffinity column showed high efficiency in removing the matrix interferences in the samples and satisfactory recovery results were obtained. The method was useful for extraction and purification of papaverine from related samples.
