Analysis of Scutellaria lateriflora and its adulterants Teucrium canadense and Teucrium chamaedrys by LC-UV/MS, TLC, and digital photomicroscopy
Preclinical
Abstract
LC-UV/MS, TLC and photomicroscopy methods were developed to distinguish authentic Scutellaria lateriflora (characterised by baicalin, lateriflorin, baicalein) from its potentially hepatotoxic Teucrium (germander) adulterants, addressing a key safety/quality concern for skullcap products.
