Abstract
Abstract A substrate for liquid chromatography comprising a spherical particle of highly cross-linked polymer which is produced from (a) 100 parts by weight of a monomer of vinyl ester, acrylate or methacrylate, these esters having a long alkyl chain, if desired, together with a comonomer copolymerizable with the monomer and (b) 10 to 80 parts by weight of a cross-linking agent copolymerizable with the monomer and having at least two functional groups, and a process for isolating and purifying a fat-soluble substance, for instance, a lower alkyl ester of eicosapentaenoic acid or docosahexaenoic acid by means of the liquid chromatography on the substrate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A process for isolating and purifying a fat-soluble substance comprising subjecting the fat-soluble substance to liquid chromatography by using as a substrate spherical particles of a highly cross-linked polymer which comprises: (a) 100 parts by weight of at least one monomer unit selected from the group consisting of vinyl octanoate, vinyl laurate, vinyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, dodecyl acrylate, dodecyl methacrylate, stearyl acrylate and stearyl methacrylate, and (b) 10 to 100 parts by weight of a cross-linking agent unit which is copolymerizable with any of said monomer and has at least two functional groups.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
A process for isolating and purifying a fat-soluble substance comprising subjecting the fat-soluble substance to liquid chromatography by using as a substrate spherical particles of a highly cross-linked polymer which comprises: (a) 100 parts by weight of at least one monomer unit selected from the group consisting of vinyl octanoate, vinyl laurate, vinyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, dodecyl acrylate, dodecyl methacrylate, stearyl acrylate and stearyl methacrylate, and (b) 10 to 100 parts by weight of a cross-linking agent unit which is copolymerizable with any of said monomer and has at least two functional groups.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the diameter of said spherical particles is in the range of 3 to 500 microns.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said monomer is vinyl stearate or stearyl methacrylate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said cross-linking agent is trifunctional and has the formula (I) or (II): ##STR3## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are the same or different from each other and are selected from the group consisting of allyl, 2-propynyl and 2-methyl-2-propenyl groups.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said fat-soluble substance is a lower-alkyl eicosapentaenoate or dodecosahexaenoate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
60 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said fat-soluble substance is selected from the group consisting of a glyceride having a saturated or unsaturated alkyl group or groups; a fat-soluble vitamin selected from the group of vitamins A, D and E; a steroid and a derivative thereof; and an aromatic-, polycyclic aromatic- or heterocyclic aromatic compound and a derivative thereof.
