Micelle-Mediated Extraction Used in Analysis of Herbal Remedy

Article

Researchers from Fourth Military Medical University (Shanxi, China) have developed a method for separating and determining hydrophobic compounds in Cnidium monnieri, an herbal remedy.

Researchers from Fourth Military Medical University (Shanxi, China) have developed a method for separating and determining hydrophobic compounds in Cnidium monnieri, an herbal remedy. The method is based on micelle-mediated extractionand cloud-point preconcentration followed by high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode-array detection. A nonionic solvent, Genapol X-080, was used as the extraction solvent. Cnidium monnieri is a leafy annual plant that grows in China and is used in traditional Chinese medicine for skin problems and as an aphrodisiac.

In this column, we discuss the label-free and stable isotope labeling proteomics approaches that help in biomarker discovery. We also discuss the different enrichment techniques, such as stable isotope labeling by amino acid in cell culture (SILAC), isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ), and tandem mass tags (TMT, that help in measuring low-abundance protein biomarkers.
