Abstract:
Most of the Pharmacopoeia and other monographs that provide the quality specifications for botanicals typically contain identification and physicochemical tests, assays, and limits for contaminants. The assay methods generally involve quantitative determination of known organic compounds, commonly known as markers. The authors explore and propose that there is a need for additional approaches beyond markers, especially for botanicals derived from traditional knowledge and use. Preliminary data on few selected botanicals are additionally provided to communicate the thought process.

Conjugate Addition to α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds
Conjugate Addition (1,4-Addition) vs Direct Addition (1,2-Addition)
Conjugate addition results in a thermodynamically stable product. The reaction retains the stronger C=O bond at the expense of the weaker C=C π bond. The process is slow as the β carbon is less electrophilic than the carbonyl carbon.
Direct addition products are...
