能过临床观察,在肯定莪术挥发油治疗肿瘤(特别是宫颈癌)疗效的基础上,对莪术挥发油中的有效成分进行了分离工作,从中分离出抗癌有效成分——莪术醇。通过对莪术醇的化学研究及红外、核磁与质谱等测定,证明其化学结构与文献报导同属植物蓬莪术(curcuma zedoaria Roscoe)的成分Curcumol一致。有关莪术醇的分离及化学结构鉴定如下: 温莪术(Curcuma Wenchowensis Liao yao)饮片经水蒸汽蒸馏,得棕褐色挥发 Can be clinical observation, in the affirmation of Curcuma volatile oil treatment of tumors (especially cervical cancer) on the basis of the efficacy of Curcuma aromatic volatile oil in the active ingredients were isolated from the isolated anticancer active ingredient - curcumin alcohol. Chemical analysis and IR, NMR and mass spectrometry of Curcumol were used to demonstrate that its chemical structure is consistent with the literature reported that Curcumol, a component of the plant Curcuma zedoaria Roscoe, is the same. The isolation and chemical structure identification of Curcuma alcohol are described as follows: Curcuma Wenchowensis Liao yao pieces are steam distilled to give brown volatilization
