tanshinone/dichloromethane

The feasibility of employing non-ionic surfactant oligoethylene glycol monoalkyl ether (Genapol X-080) as an alternative and effective solvent for the extraction of tanshinones from Salvia miltiorrhiza bunge was studied for the first time. Various experimental conditions were investigated to

In a medium throughput screen of 880 plant and fungal extracts for antiprotozoal activity, a dichloromethane extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza roots was active against both Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Plasmodium falciparum. With HPLC-based activity profiling in combination with on- and off-line

A strategy for the development of a green process using counter-current chromatography technology is presented in this paper. The strategy began with solvent system selection, followed by linear scale-up from an analytical to a preparative process with optimized operating parameters. A two-stage

In the course of a screening of plant extracts for potential CNS and anti-inflammatory activities, a dichloromethane extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza showed a pronounced inhibitory effect on recombinant monoamine oxidase A (MAO A) and on inducible NO synthase (iNOS) induction in Raw 267.4 cells. With
