Quantitative analyses of sennosides A and B in eight ethical bofutsushosan extract products

ConclusionIt is recommended that the quantities of sennosides A and B in Kampo extract products, including Rhubarb, be described in the package insert. When preparing Rhubarb-containing Kampo medicines, sennosides A and B decomposition can be ignored for decoction times of up to 60  min. Further studies on the biological activity of secondary metabolites other than sennosides A and B are necessary for Rhubarb quality control.
