Bulbus allii macrostemi extract is mainly derived from the dried bulbs of allium or leek of the lily family. The common methods of Xiebai extract include solvent extraction, ultrasonic-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, etc. The appropriate extraction method can be selected according to different needs and ingredients.
Main ingredients of bulbus allii macrostemi extract
Sulfur-containing compounds: such as methyl allyl trisulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, methyl propyl trisulfide, etc., are important components of Xiebai's physiological activity, with special smell and multiple biological activities.
Steroidal saponins: including oxalisin A, B, C, D, etc., have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, cardiovascular function regulation and other effects.
Flavonoids: such as quercetin, kaempferol, etc., have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and other effects.
Others: It also contains nutrients such as prostaglandin A, adenosine, polysaccharides, amino acids, vitamins and various minerals.
Effects of bulbus allii macrostemi extract
Effects on the cardiovascular system
Regulate blood lipids: It can reduce the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood, while increasing the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which helps prevent the occurrence of atherosclerosis.
Vascular relaxation: The ingredients contained can promote the release of nitric oxide by endothelial cells, relax vascular smooth muscles, thereby lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial to patients with hypertension.
Anti-thrombosis: It inhibits the aggregation and adhesion of platelets, reduces blood viscosity, and reduces the risk of thrombosis, which is of great significance for the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory: It has an inhibitory effect on a variety of pathogenic microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans, and can be used to assist in the treatment of infectious diseases caused by these pathogens, such as respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, etc.
Antioxidant: Flavonoids and other ingredients can remove free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative damage, and reduce the harm of oxidative stress to the body, which helps to delay aging and prevent diseases related to oxidative stress, such as cancer and diabetes.
Improve digestive system function: stimulate gastric juice secretion, enhance gastrointestinal motility, help digestion and absorption of food, and can be used to treat symptoms such as indigestion and loss of appetite. At the same time, it has a certain protective effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa, and can prevent and relieve diseases such as gastric ulcers.
Anti-tumor: Studies have found that some components in Xiebai extract have the effect of inducing tumor cell apoptosis, inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and invasion, and may exert anti-tumor effects by regulating cell signaling pathways, affecting gene expression and other mechanisms, but it is still in the research stage.
Application of bulbus allii macrostemi extract
Medical field
Chinese patent medicine raw materials: It is an important raw material for many Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and digestive system diseases. For example, in modern preparations of classic prescriptions such as Gualou Xiebai Baijiu Tang and Gualou Xiebai Banxia Tang, Xiebai extract is often used to exert its therapeutic effect.
New drug research and development: As a potential active ingredient of medicine, it is used to develop new cardiovascular protection drugs, antibacterial drugs, anti-tumor drugs, etc., providing new options for the treatment of diseases.
Health care products
Cardiovascular health care: Health care products with the functions of regulating blood lipids, blood pressure, and preventing thrombosis are made. They are suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, people at high risk of cardiovascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia and hypertension, and help maintain cardiovascular health.
Immunomodulation: Using its antibacterial and antioxidant effects, develop health care products with the function of enhancing immunity, improve the body's resistance, and prevent diseases.
Food field
Seasoning: It can be used as a natural seasoning to add a unique flavor to food. It is often used in the seasoning of meat, seafood, sauces and other foods. It can remove fishy smells and enhance the flavor and improve the taste of food.
