Objective: To establish an appropriate and technical process for the purification of Arctium lappa by macroporous resins. Method: The HPLC was used to analyze the content of arctiin in A.lappa, and the adsorption behavior of macroporous resins to arctiin in A.lappa was examined for the adsorption rate and desorption rate. Result: The D101 resin was the suitable for enriching arctiin. The sample concentration of arctiin was 28.69 g ·L-1 with the elution flow rate of 3 BV ·h-1. 5 BV water and 10 BV 30% ethanol were used as eluant of arcttin, respectively. Portions of 30% ethanol were collected, concentrated, and dried. Conclusion: This method is simple and feasible with good effect of enrichment in arctiin.
