## Abstract Reduced forms of iso‐α‐acids (isohumulones), used in modern beer brewing were separated and characterized by ^1^H and ^13^C NMR spectroscopy. Components from mixtures of rho‐iso‐α‐acids, tetrahydro‐iso‐α‐acids, and hexahydro‐iso‐α‐acids were isolated using high‐performance liquid chroma

Abstract
Recent biological research has shown that commercially available tetrahydro iso‐α acid (THIAA) extract exhibits a significant anti‐inflammatory response in cellular assays. To further elucidate the mechanism of the response, a method was developed and optimized for the purification of three THIAA cis congeners that are found in commercially available modified hop (Humulus lupulus L.) extracts. Utilizing a Pharmatech Research hydrodynamic countercurrent separation instrument, the choice of solvent, pH and buffer composition were optimized to increase the overall efficiency. It was determined that a quaternary HEMWat (7:3:5:5, pH 5.3) solvent system is optimal for separating cis and trans diastereomers, whereas the binary solvent system of hexanes and aqueous buffer (1:1, pH 6.8) is optimal for the isolation of individual congeners. The optimal countercurrent separation method allows for sample loadings of 3 mg of sample per milliliter of column volume, minimal purification times (1–4 h) and greater than 90% homogeneity of individual THIAA congeners.
