Phytochemistry of Rhodiola rosea.

Rhodiola Rosea Extract.INCI Name Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract EINECS ELINCS No 306-819-2 CAS 97404-52-9 Salidroside 10338-51-9 Rosavin 84954 -92 -7 Siberian Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract,Rhodiola extract,Rhodiola rosea ethanol extract,golden root photo picture image The investigation of the phytochemistry of Rhodiola rosea root has revealed the presence of six distinct groups of chemical compounds:
 Phenylpropanoids: rosavin, rosin, rosarin (specific to Rhodiola rosea);
 Phenylethanol derivatives: salidroside (rhodioloside), tyrosol;
 Flavanoids: rodiolin, rodionin, rodiosin, acetylrodalgin, tricin;
 Monoterpernes: rosiridol, rosaridin;

 Triterpenes: daucosterol, beta-sitosterol;
 Phenolic acids: chlorogenic and hydroxycinnamic, gallic acids.
 The standardization of Rhodiola rosea root extract has gone through two distinct p hases. Initially, in the 1970s, the compound responsible for its unique pharmacological properties was believed to be salidroside (rhodioloside).Therefore, the first generation of Rhodiola rosea tincture/extracts approved by the Russian Pharmacopoeia Committee was standardized to a minimum of 0.8 percent salidroside content.
 In the late 1980s, demand for Rhodiola rosea-based phytomedicines dramatically incr eased. The wild-crafted raw material was over-harvested, resulting in a steady decline in the quality and effectiveness of "Rhodiola" preparations. Scientific investigation revealed that other species of genus Rhodiola (which also contained salidroside) were being substituted for Rhodiola rosea. While some of these mixed batches were highly variable in quality, others had no pharmacological effect. Logically, the suspicion arose that the salidroside standard was inadequate. Based on comparative analysis, the obvious hypothesis was that the original high potency product contained other active compounds specific to Rhodiola rosea that had not yet been identified.
