Origin of Siberian Ginseng.:

Eleuthero belongs to the Araliaceae family and is a distant relative of Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng).Also known commonly as touch-me-not and devil's shrub, eleuthero has been most frequently nicknamed Siberian ginseng in this country. Eleuthero is native to the Taiga region of the Far East (southeastern part of Russia, northern China). The root and the rhizomes (underground stem) are used. Siberian ginseng - a deciduous, hardy shrub, growing to 10 ft (3 m). Siberian ginseng has 3-7 toothed leaflets on each stem. Siberian ginseng is a powerful tonic herb with an impressive range of health benefits. Unlike many herbs with a medicinal use, it is more useful-for maintaining good health rather than treating ill health. Research has shown that Siberian ginseng stimulates resistance to stress and it is now widely used as a tonic during times of stress and pressure. Siberian ginseng has a similar effect to Asian ginseng but is more stimulating.

Qualitative Reactions:

 
 0.5 grams of mill stock (see Section: Quantitative Determination below) is put into a 25ml cone flask, then add 10ml of hot water, heat on a water bath for 5 minutes and filter. To 1ml of extraction should be added several drops of 1% solution of oxide chloride iron; green coloration (polyphenols) appear.

 Ultraviolet spectrum of Solution B (see Section: Quantitative Determination below) in the area of from 225nm to 325nm must has maximum absorption at the (278?nm) wavelength.

 20ml of Solution A is put into a round-bottom flask for distillation and evaporated to 3ml volume under vacuum on a rotary evaporator.

 0.030ml of received solution is applied on the starting line of Silufol* plate UV-254 (CSFR) of 7.5 by 15cm in size and chromatographed by means of rising method in the system of solvents: chloroform - methyl alcohol - water (71:33:7). When the solvents front reaches the plate end, it should be taken out of the chamber and dried in air for 10 minutes. The plate should be looked through UV light at 254nm wavelength. On the chromatogram appears one spot of (dark) blue color, having Rf about 0.45 (eleutherozide B). When scanning the chromatogram through UV light at 366nm wavelength, there must be found not less than 3 spots with different degrees of fluorescence and Rf values of approximately 0.5; 0.6 or o.95.
