Abstract:
Saiga horn extracts were analyzed with the goal of obtaining new information about compounds present in it. The purpose of this study is to find synthetic alternatives to Saiga horn extract, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine, by identifying potentially biologically active compounds in the extracts. Using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry, we have been able to identify a series of short-chain polyhydroxybutyrates in alcoholic extracts of Saiga horn. Optimized high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry methods for analysis of short-chain poly-3-hydroxybutyrates were developed and subsequently applied to investigate Saiga horn extract for the presence of these compounds, which might explain its biological actions, particularly for its antipyretic and procoagulant properties.
