Abstract:Eulophia macrobulbon (E.C.Parish & Rchb.f.) Hook.f. contains a natural PDE5A1 inhibitor, the phenanthrene, 1-(4'-hydroxybenzyl)-4,8- dimethoxyphenanthrene-2,7-diol (HDP) a potential treatment for erectile dysfunction. This investigation aimed to improve extraction efficiency of HDP from E. macrobulbon by using greener extraction methodology, subcritical fluid dimethyl ether extraction (sDME) rather than classical solvent extraction (CSE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). The efficiency and quality … Show more
