  • Title: Reassignment of the configuration of salvianolic acid B and establishment of its identity with lithospermic acid B.
    Author: Watzke A, O'Malley SJ, Bergman RG, Ellman JA.
    Journal: J Nat Prod; 2006 Aug; 69(8):1231-3. PubMed ID: 16933885.
    Abstract:
    Salvianolic acid B and lithospermic acid B are the major components of Salvia miltiorrhiza, which is one of the most popular herbal traditional medicines in Asian countries. Salvianolic acid B and lithospermic acid B are reported to have identical structures except for the configurational assignments of two stereocenters. Through chemical correlation between a degradation product of salvianolic acid B and synthetic material, the absolute configuration of salvianolic acid B has been corrected to establish that salvianolic acid B and lithospermic acid B are in fact the same compound.
