Medicago sativa contains flavonoids, saponins, coumarins, sterols, monoterpenes, and organic acids, with flavonoids being the main active constituents. Flavonoids naturally contain a 2-phenylchromone structure with antioxidant, free radical scavenging, cardiovascular, and trace estrogen-like effects. Screening and isolation of neuraminidase, lipoxidase, and lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors from M. sativa via ultrafiltration-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UF-LC-MS) combined with stepwise flow rate counter-current chromatography (CCC). Utilising the medicinal plants M. sativa as the research objects and UF-LC-MS was used for activity screening followed by isolation and purification of the inhibitors by stepwise flow rate CCC. Finally, identification of the three active compounds was achieved by MS and nuclear magnetic resonance. Three major compounds, viz. quercetin, genistein, and formononetin, were identified as potent neuraminidase, lipoxidase, and lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors, respectively. A two-phase solvent system of ethyl acetate/methanol/n-butanol/water (5.0:1.5:5.0:10; v/v/v/v) was subsequently selected for separation by stepwise flow rate CCC. This novel approach based on UF-LC-MS and stepwise flow rate CCC represents a powerful tool for the screening and isolation of neuraminidase, lipoxidase, and lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors from complex matrices. Therefore, a useful platform for the large-scale production of bioactive and nutraceutical ingredients was developed herein. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
