Rhizoma Gastrodiae is a Chinese herb that has been used for centuries to treat various symptoms, including chronic cough and infectious diseases. The active compound in Rhizoma Gastrodiae is 2,6-Dihydro-2,2,4-trimethyl-6-quinolone (DHTQ), which has been shown to have potential as a biomarker for the detection of chronic cough. DHTQ was detected by the analytical method using sodium carbonate, which is an alkali metal salt. This compound has also been shown to be an effective treatment for blood deficiency in animal studies. DHTQ can be found in the root powder or fructus of Rhizoma Gastrodiae and can be used as a pharmaceutical preparation.
