| principle of action | has the effect of dilating coronary arteries and increasing coronary blood flow; the effect on the heart and peripheral blood vessels; inhibiting platelet aggregation; antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects; Calcium antagonism; repair damaged venous valves and treat varicose veins. |
| production method | is prepared from 3,4-methylene dioxybenzaldehyde through the following steps. The newly treated phosphorus pentachloride is added to 3, 4-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde in several times. The reaction is very violent at the beginning, and ice water is needed to cool it. At the same time, moisture intrusion should be prevented. After about half of the phosphorus pentachloride is added, the strain is slow and can no longer be cooled. The amount of phosphorus pentachloride is 3 times (mol) of 3, 4-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde. The obtained reaction solution is slowly heated for 1h, hydrogen chloride is released, and volatiles are extracted under reduced pressure. Then, the reactants are poured into cold water, and the precipitated emulsion oil layer is placed and solidified. Boil slowly for 3h, filter with activated carbon, concentrate the filtrate under reduced pressure, cool to 0 ℃, and precipitate crystallization. After filtration and washing, recrystallize with water to obtain the finished product. |
