Methods Chemical constituents were isolated and purified by many chromatographic methods, and their structures were elucidated by MS, NMR, and others. Results Twenty compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as β-sitosterol, chrysophanol, aloe-emodin, physcion, rhein, emodin, etc. Conclusion Among these compounds, 4-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone, 4-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone-4′-O-β-D-(2″-...展开更多

Ca,Mg,K and Fe were abundant in this herb.Most elements varied over a wide range depending on the different habitats.The mineral element data were evaluated by principal component analysis to reveal the distribution pattern of elements in root.Four principal components(K-Ca factor,Cu factor,Mg factor and Zn-Se factor) of plant elements were selected.The authors' study provided a new scientific foundation for further studies and general application of this Chinese herb.展开更多
