The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Black cohosh accessions (Actaea racemosa L. [syn. Cimicifuga racemosa (L.) Nutt.]), collected from 11 wild populations in five states and subsequently grown at a common location in Amherst, Massachusetts, were used to determine variation in chemical constituency among the populations. Analysis by HPLC indicated significant variation in levels of actein, cimicifugoside, cimicifugoside H1, ferulic acid and formononetin. Such variation suggests the quality and efficacy of black cohosh will differ with the geographical origin of the plant material.
