Lactones are the main active compounds of the Chinese medicinal material, Chuanxiong. A simple, sensitive, and rapid solvent extraction method was developed for the group isolation of lactones from Chuanxiong. The mixture of main lactones (senkyunolide-H, senkyunolide-I, sedanenolide, and Z-ligustil...
