MO, FA, RR and NR in SHD were purchased from the pharmacy of Xijing Hospital, and all were included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The plant materials were authenticated by Professor Haifeng Tang. Voucher specimen (20C266, 20C315, 20C364, 20C375) was preserved in the herbarium of Xijing Hospital. SHD extract was prepared according to the following experimental steps: first, the essential oil was extracted, boiled in water and extracted three times. Then, the extracting solution was filtered and condensed by rotary evaporation. Finally, the solution was concentrated to 1 g/mL. The original solution was stored in a 4 °C refrigerator. The quality control of SHD is shown in Supplementary materials.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
