Microchemical Detection of Plant Components. VII

Microchemical identification of amidone.

Studies on an antibiotic, albocycline VII. Minor components of albocycline.

As an approach to the search for new potentially useful macrolide antibiotics, we explored the minor components of albocycline (ALB) from the culture broth of Streptomyces bruneogriseus. Eight minor components were isolated and their structures were confirmed as 1 approximately 8. Unexpectedly, they were not glycosidic compounds but only oxidation or reduction products of ALB. Three or four of ...

Evaluations of Detection Methods of Bacterial Contamination in Platelet Components

Platelet components (PCs) have widespread applications in clinical cases. Since PCs store in room temperature (between 20-24°C), they are susceptible to bacterial contamination. There are varied approaches for identifying bacterial contamination in PCs. These methods categorized into two groups: Firstly, culture based methods and secondly, non-culture based methods. Both of them have a coup...

Recent advances in extraction methods of medicinal plant components

Various novel techniques including ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction and supercritical fluid extraction have been developed for the extraction of medicinal plants in order to shorten the extraction time, decrease the solvent consumption, increase the extraction yield, and enhance the quality of extracts. This review was conducted to introduce and compare the conventi...
