  • Title: Metabolic profiles of three related Salvia species.
    Author: Yang D, Yang S, Zhang Y, Liu Y, Meng X, Liang Z.
    Journal: Fitoterapia; 2009 Jul; 80(5):274-8. PubMed ID: 19289159.
    Abstract:
    Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is one of the most important and popular plant of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), but Salvia castanea Diels f. tomentosa Stib and Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge f. alb have also been reported to have the same therapeutic effects as S. miltiorrhiza. To better distinguish between these species, the phytochemical profiles of three Salvia species were investigated by liquid chromatography. All the Salvia species were good sources of tanshinones, with the contents of phenolics being high in S. miltiorrhiza and S. miltiorrhiza f. alb, but not in S. castanea Diels f. tomentosa Stib. These results pave the way for a better phytotherapy exploitation of these plants.
