Angelicae Sinensis radix (ASR) and Chuanxiong Rhizoma (CR) are two commonly used herbs with different blood-related bioactivities for tonic and medicinal purpose, resp. However, current available scientific evidences indicate that they share similar chem. profiles in which volatile components are the majority. In order to figure out the decisive chem. differences and then establish their individual quality control methods, comprehensive comparison on chem. ingredients between ASR and CR was carried out in this study. First, volatile components between ASR and CR were determined and compared by GC-MS (gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry). Then, carbohydrates and polysaccharides in ASR and CR were qual. and quant. characterized using HPGPC (high performance gel permeation chromatog.) and HPLC (high performance liquid chromatog.). Furthermore, these components in different botanical parts and processed products of ASR were also investigated. The results not only confirmed that ASR and CR contain similar profiles of volatile components, but also suggested that the volatile components might not be the nutrient ingredients of ASR and that the polysaccharides make the real differences between ASR and CR. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (2R,3R,4S,5S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxyhexanal hydrate (cas: 10030-85-0SDS of cas: 10030-85-0).
(2R,3R,4S,5S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxyhexanal hydrate (cas: 10030-85-0) belongs to alcohols. Under appropriate conditions, inorganic acids also react with alcohols to form esters. To form these esters, a wide variety of specialized reagents and conditions can be used. Grignard and organolithium reagents are powerful tools for organic synthesis, and the most common products of their reactions are alcohols.SDS of cas: 10030-85-0
