    Study Notes

    Preparation of Scillaren A

    • Fresh bulbs combined with ammonium sulfate initiate the extraction process.
    • Tannin solution is incorporated, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate.
    • Lead acetate precipitates residual tannin, which is then filtered.
    • The resulting filtrate is evaporated to dryness using extracted methanol.
    • Concentration leads to crystallization of Scillaren A.

    Triterpenes

    • Triterpenes consist of six isoprene units, with a chemical formula of C30H48.

    Volatile Oils

    • Monoterpenes are the most frequently encountered terpenes within volatile oils.
    • Terpenes are present in both acyclic and bicyclic configurations.

    Classification of Volatile Oil Constituents

    • Hydrocarbons
    • Alcohols
    • Aldehydes
    • Ketones
    • Esters
    • Phenols and phenolic ethers
    • Oxides
    • Peroxides
    • Sulfur compounds
    • Nitrogen compounds

    Resins

    • Resins are solid, amorphous substances characterized by complex chemical structures.
    • Upon heating, resins soften and eventually melt.
