Determination of curcumol in the volatile oil of Curcuma aromatica by dual-wavelength TLC scanner

Determination of curcumol in the volatile oil of Curcuma aromatica by dual-wavelength TLC scanner. Li, Jingkun (Fact. Shenyang, Coll. Pharm., Shenyang, Peop. Rep. China). Shenyang Yaoxueyuan Xuebao, 1(2), 147-51 (Chinese) 1984. CODEN: SYXUE3. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 64 (Pharmaceutical Analysis) The volatile oil of C. aromatica (a medicinal plant) was chromatographed on silica gel G plates by using petroleum ether-EtOAc () as eluent, and the spots were visualized by treatment with 10% vanillin in HOAc-HClO4 () and analyzed by a dual-wavelength TLC scanner for the detn. of curcumol [4871-97-0] contents. The calibration plot was linear in the range of 1-7 mh, and the method had a av. recovery of 103.3%. Reproducibility with a relative std. deviation of <4.5% was obsd. The method was rapid and simple.

DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 30 (Terpenes and Terpenoids) Section cross-reference(s): 1 Treatment of curcumol (I, R = H) with POCl3/pyridine at 65-70° gave, after hydrolysis, I [R = P(O)(OH)2], treatment of which with NaOH gave the title compd. 4871-97-0 and 90130-12-4 which are cas registry numbers of substances are two of reagents here. [I, R = P(O)(OH)ONa], which had higher antitumor activity against Ehrlich cells in mice but lower toxicity than curcumol. .
