Advances in study on chemical components, stability, and quality evaluation of sinapinoids and glucosinolates in Sinapis Semen / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Sinapinoids and glucosinolates are the main chemical components in Sinapis Semen. Sinapinoids have significant biological activities, such as anti-oxidant, anti-androgen, lowering the blood pressure, and so on. Glucosinolates and their degradation products are known for its biological functions such as fungicidal, bactericidal, and in the treatment of cancer and cough. The latest progress on the chemical components, stability, and quality evaluation of sinapinoids and glucosinolates in Sinapis Semen is reviewed, which could provide some scientific guidance for the quality control and exploration of Sinapis Semen and its related products.
