Abstract: | Background The growing popularity of Chinese herbal medicine in the United States has prompted large-scale import of raw herbs from Asia.
Many of the Asian herbs have phylogenetically related North American species. We compared three phylogenetically related species,
namely Coptis chinensis (Huanglian), Hydrastis canadensis and Coptis trifolia to show whether they can be substituted by one another in terms of alkaloid content. |
