Liquid-Liquid Extraction Strategies for the Isolation of Bioactive Heterocyclic Compounds
Abstract: Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) is a widely employed technique for the isolation of bioactive heterocyclic compounds from natural products, fermentation broths, and synthetic mixtures. The efficiency of LLE depends on several factors, including solvent selection, pH manipulation, salting-out effects, and temperature control. Conventional solvent systems, such as water-organic solvent pairs, are commonly used, while advanced strategies, including ionic liquids (ILs), deep eutectic solvents (DESs), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), …
