Abstract:
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), as a class of novel green solvents, show the promising applications in many fields due to their unique properties such as simple preparation, low cost, environmental friendliness, low volatility, high dissolution power, feasibility of structural design and biodegradability. Recently, DESs have been applied for the extraction, separation and chromatography of active components (flavonoids, saponins, polysaccharides, alkaloids, quinones, phenolic acids, volatile oil, etc) from Chinese materia medica. This article introduced the preparation and properties of DESs, reviewed the development of DESs applications in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, discussed the existing problems and outlined the general trends as well.
