(+)-Sesamin has been found to have pharmacological effect which can improve activity, prevent aging and has the effect of antihypertension 1-2. Figure 1 shows its chemical structure. (+)-Sesamin has been known to be abundant in sesame originally, but our previous study shows that (+)-sesamin also presents in a Chinese herbal medicine Semen Cuscutae3-4. Gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) have been applied for the determination and identification of (+…
(+)-Sesamin was found in Semen Cuscutae for the first time. A rapid and simple approach for the analysis of (+)-sesamin in different sources of Semen Cuscutae is proposed, which used GC-FID for the determination of (+)-sesamin and GC-MS for its identification. The result suggested that this approach could be used to identify Semen Cuscutae from various sources based on the different content of (+)-sesamin in them.
