This is an ancestral Chinese medicine powder expressed to me by a fan, specializing in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation, this fan found that it also has a better effect on the acute attack of gout, and can relieve the pain after taking it for a few hours. After watching our video, he was worried that there were ingredients that concealed the added chemical drugs, and hoped that we would check and check. Nonsense is not much to say, measure it.
Directly speaking of the results, this ancestral Chinese medicine powder contains at least two synthetic chemical medicinal ingredients, that is, dexamethasone and dexamethasone acetate, which are adrenocortical hormone drugs. This is another case of lack of morality under the banner of ancestral Chinese medicine, but behind the scenes, it is done to conceal the addition of chemical ingredients. In addition, we identified a natural plant ingredient, the umbelactone, and speculated that the powder used one or more of the umbelliferous plants such as Sichuan root, angelica or yarrow.
We released nearly 20 episodes of videos detecting gout-related products sent by fans or friends, of which 10 samples detected hormones, the probability is quite high, it seems that pseudo-Chinese medicine favors hormones. Patients who take products that conceal the addition of hormone ingredients for a long time without knowing the dosage and source of raw materials have endless consequences. Here is a recommendation: go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions.
Interested partners, let's take a look at our analysis and identification process.
After the samples are extracted with 70% ethanol, HPLC is detected using our classical analytical methods. Liquid phase maps are somewhat complex, with signals with retention times of 60.5 and 70.2 minutes, which are very similar in their UV absorption curves and are basically consistent with the dexamethasone and dexamethasone acetate that we have previously detected, and the preliminary judgment is that they are.
The signal with a retention time of 77.5 minutes is the most significant, and the UV absorption curve is also very characteristic. Next, the mass spectrometry is illuminated.
- The TOF-MS detection results show that the signals with a retention time of 36.2, 41.7 and 45.7 minutes are more obvious, their molecular weights are 393.21026, 435.22077 and 191.10969, and the molecular formulas speculated by the instrument are C22H29FO5[M]+, C24H31FO6[M]+ and C12H14O2[M]+, which can be hammered, and the first 1 and 2 targets are dexamethasone and dexamethasone acetate, respectively. Target No. 3 looks more like a natural compound, such a significant signal, we also very much want to understand it, next, check the literature, play secondary mass spectrometry.
In the secondary mass spectrum, target No. 3 hit a series of fragmented ion peaks with a mass-to-charge ratio of 173.0967, 155.0858 and 145.1014, which can confirm that it is a hostrolactone.
Testing "quick-acting" and "miraculous" products will continue. If the small partners have suspicious products to analyze, please leave a message in private message.
