Panax japlcus var is a typical Chinese herb with a large number of saponins existing in all parts of it. The common methods of screening and isolating saponins are mostly labor-intensive and time-consuming. In this study, a new assay based on ultrafiltration-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UF-LC-MS) was developed for the rapid screening and identifying of the ligands for xanthine oxidase from the extract of P. japlcus. Six saponins were identified as xanthine oxidase inhibitors from the extract. Subsequently, the specific binding ligands, namely, 24 (R)-majoroside R-1, chikusetsusaponin IVa, oleanolic acid-28-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, notoginsenoside Fe, ginsenoside Rb-2 and ginsenoside Rd (the purities of them were 95.74%, 96.12%, 93.19%, 94.83%, 95.07% and 94.62%, respectively) were separated by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The component ratio of the solvent system of HSCCC was calculated with the help of a multiexponential function model was optimized. The partition coefficient (K) values of the target compounds and resolutions of peaks were employed as the research indicators, and exponential function and binomial formulas were used to optimize the solvent system and flow rate of the mobile phases in a two-stage separation. An optimized two-phase solvent system composed of ethyl acetate, isopropanol, 0.1% aqueous formic acid (1.9:1.0:1.3, v/v/v, for the first-stage) and that composed of methylene chloride, acetonitrile, isopropanol, 0.1% aqueous formic acid (5.6:1.0:2.4:5.2, v/v/v/v, for the second-stage) were used to isolate the six compounds from P. japlcus. The targeted compounds isolated, collected and purified by HSCCC were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), and the chemical structures of all the six compounds were identified by UV, MS and NMR. The results demonstrate that UF-LC-MS combined with HSCCC might provide not only a powerful tool for screening and isolating xanthine oxidase inhibitors in complex samples but also a useful platform for discovering bioactive compounds for the prevention and treatment of gout.
