Abstract
Garlic mustard oil macerate is a traditional medicine used as a nasal decongestant by the people of northeast India. In this study, a unique preparation technique that maximized the yield of organosulfur compounds in GMM was developed at the lowest preparation temperature and time duration compared to existing preparation methods. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS), central composite design (CCD) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used for compound identification, experimental design, and quantification of the organosulfur compounds (OSCs), respectively. Through LCMS analysis, ajoene and 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiin were detected as the major OSCs. CCD analysis suggested 17 experiments for HPLC analysis, after which the quantity of mustard oil and heating temperature were found to be the significant parameters for optimum OSCs formation. Based on this, the optimized conditions to maximize the yield of ajoene ((garlic: oil (1:2.00), 55.00°C, 4 $ \frac{1}{2} $ h)) and 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiin ((garlic: oil (1:2.20), 77.51°C, 2 $ \frac{1}{2} $ h)) were achieved.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sulfur Chemistry is an international journal for the dissemination of scientific results in the rapidly expanding realm of sulfur chemistry. The journal publishes high quality reviews, full papers and communications in the following areas: organic and inorganic chemistry, industrial chemistry, materials and polymer chemistry, biological chemistry and interdisciplinary studies directly related to sulfur science.
Papers outlining theoretical, physical, mechanistic or synthetic studies pertaining to sulfur chemistry are welcome. Hence the target audience is made up of academic and industrial chemists with peripheral or focused interests in sulfur chemistry. Manuscripts that truly define the aims of the journal include, but are not limited to, those that offer: a) innovative use of sulfur reagents; b) new synthetic approaches to sulfur-containing biomolecules, materials or organic and organometallic compounds; c) theoretical and physical studies that facilitate the understanding of sulfur structure, bonding or reactivity; d) catalytic, selective, synthetically useful or noteworthy transformations of sulfur containing molecules; e) industrial applications of sulfur chemistry; f) unique sulfur atom or molecule involvement in interfacial phenomena; g) descriptions of solid phase or combinatorial methods involving sulfur containing substrates. Submissions pertaining to related atoms such as selenium and tellurium are also welcome. Articles offering routine heterocycle formation through established reactions of sulfur containing substrates are outside the scope of the journal.
