The bioactive component harpagoside was successfully separated from the crude extract of Scrophularia ningpoensis Hemsley by one‐step purification using high‐speed counter‐current chromatography (HSCCC). A two‐phase solvent system containing n ‐butanol:ethyl acetate:water (1:9:10) was selected following consideration of the partition coefficient of the target compound. A 276 mg quantity of the crude extract was loaded onto a 250 mL HSCCC column and yielded 11 mg harpagoside at over 97% purity. The chemical structure of harpagoside was determined by HPLC‐ESI/MS and 1H‐NMR. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
