Five dimeric phthalides were isolated from rhizomes of Ligusticum chuanxiong and their structures deduced based on spectral data. All compounds and their parent extracts were assessed for progesterone-like activity using a progesterone receptor driven reporter-gene bioassay. Among all the compounds,
With the yields of ferulic acid, coniferylferulate, Z-ligustilide, senkyunolide A, butylidenephthalide, butylphthalide, senkyunolide I, senkyunolide H, riligustilide, levistolide A, and total pharmacologically active ingredient as evaluation indexes, the extraction of Ligusticum chuanxiong by
Rhizoma Chuanxiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong HORT.) is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicinal herb for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders. Significant variations of the main components in this herb were observed in commercial samples. The present study investigated effects of post-harvest
Suppression of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) growth and activation, and induction of apoptosis, have been proposed as therapeutic strategies for the treatment and prevention of liver fibrosis. Our previous study showed that the Chinese herb Ligusticum chuanxiong (LC) inhibits platelet-derived growth
High-pressure ultrasound-assisted extraction technology was applied to extract ferulic acid, senkyunolide I, senkyunolide H, senkyunolide A, ligustilide and levistolide A from Ligusticum chuanxiong rhizomes. Seven independent variables, including solvent type, pressure, particle size,
An on-line high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-diode array detector (DAD)-mass spectrometry (MS) analytical method has been developed to simultaneously separate and identify seventeen main constituents of Chuanxiong ( Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort.), a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. In
BACKGROUND
Rhizoma Chuanxiong (RC; Chuanxiong), which is the dried rhizome of Ligusticum chuanxiong (Umbelliferae), is commonly used in Chinese medicine (CM) for improving blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis. RC is usually processed before use in clinical practice to enhance its
OBJECTIVE
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Levistolide A (LA), a natural compound isolated from the traditional Chinese herb Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort, is used for treating cancer. In this study, we investigated the anticancer effect of LA in
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the chemical changes in Chuanxiong raw material (CX), the rhizome of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort., during CX storage and further assess its quality variety.
METHODS
Four CX samples were sealed and stored at ambient temperature in room for two years. These samples were quantified
OBJECTIVE
To establish a high performance liquid chromatographic fingerprint for the quality control of rhizoma Chuanxiong, a traditional Chinese medicine derived from the root of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort..
METHODS
An on-line optimized HPLC-DAD-MS technique was employed. The HPLC analysis was
A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) fingerprint of Chinese Angelica (CA) was developed basing on the consistent chromatograms of 40 CA samples (Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels). The unique properties of this HPLC fingerprints were validated by analyzing 13 related herbs including 4
Danggui-Shaoyao-San (DSS), a famous traditional Chinese medicine formula consisting of six herbal medicines (Paeonia lactiflora, Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Poria cocos, Atractylodis macrocephalae and Rhizoma Alismatis), has been used as a classical gynecological remedy in China for
