Description
Safflower, also known as red and blue flower, thorn safflower, mainly contains compounds such as chalcone pigments, flavonoids, phenolic acids, steroids and polysaccharides. Among the safflower yellows, hydroxyl safflower yellow A and dehydrated safflower yellow B (AHSYB) have the highest content, which are the main active ingredients with physiological activity in safflower.Anhydrosafflor yellow B can improve heart and brain blood oxygen supply, reduce ischemic injury, anticoagulant, anti-myocardial ischemia, inhibit platelet aggregation, anti-oxidation, anti-tumor and anti-inflammation and other pharmacological effects.
Biological Activity
Anhydrosafflor yellow B (AHSYB) is a quinolone C-glycoside isolated from Carthamus tinctorius. It inhibits ADP-induced platelet aggregation, has significant antioxidant effects in vitro, and has antitoxic activity against H2O2-induced PC12 cells and primary neuronal cells.
Synthesis
A method for extracting and purifying dehydrated safflower yellow B in safflower, 1) using warm soaking method to obtain safflower water extract; 2) pretreatment of macroporous adsorption resin; 3) macroporous resin adsorption; 4) macroporous resin Pore resin elution.
