Abstract
Isodon rubescens is a widely used traditional folk medicine in China. In this study, 13 natural products were isolated using a two-step ethanol extraction. Notably, flavonoid glycosides 2 and 4, and polymeric caffeic acids 7 and 8, were identified for the first time from the secondary extraction residues, highlighting the continued presence of bioactive compounds with potential for further development. Oridonin (9), the major active compound, was quantified in nine commercial preparations using quantitative NMR (qNMR). Its concentration in the drop pill (0.92 mg/g) was comparable to that in the raw extract (0.90 mg/g). The three tablet samples showed varying levels: Tablet 3 (2.66 mg/g) > Tablet 1 (1.22 mg/g) > Tablet 2 (1.09 mg/g). Capsule, tea bag, and syrup samples could not be quantified due to low concentrations.
期刊介绍:
MRC is devoted to the rapid publication of papers which are concerned with the development of magnetic resonance techniques, or in which the application of such techniques plays a pivotal part. Contributions from scientists working in all areas of NMR, ESR and NQR are invited, and papers describing applications in all branches of chemistry, structural biology and materials chemistry are published.
The journal is of particular interest not only to scientists working in academic research, but also those working in commercial organisations who need to keep up-to-date with the latest practical applications of magnetic resonance techniques.
