Comparison of CE and HPLC as analytical methods of (-)-yatein enantiomer from Cupressaceae plants

  • Published : 2002.10.01

Abstract

Cupressaceae plants are used in traditional folk medicine. whose extracts have been found to possess some bioactivities. (-)-Yatein is a lignan of the dibenzyl-butyrolactone type. that has been isolated from some Cupressaceae plants. It was reported that (-)-yatein. isolated from plants. showed different activities from the synthetic yatein [3]. Hence. the enantiosetective determination of yatein from synthetic materials and natural products would be necessary. (omitted)
