Description
Anise trisulfide, also known as bile vita, is a secretory choleretic drug, which can significantly enhance liver glutathione levels, significantly enhance glutamyl cysteine synthase, glutathione reductase and glutathione sulfur Transferase activity, reduce glutathione peroxidase activity, enhance liver cell viability, and increase bile secretion. Without increasing the burden on the liver, it can reduce liver portal pressure, eliminate liver congestion and other symptoms of hepatitis lesions, promote liver cell activation, and contribute to the improvement and recovery of liver function.
Manufacturing Process
1 mol anethol (1-methoxy-4-propenyl-benzene) and 3 mol sulfur were heated
in an open vessel to temperature 190°-200°C. H2S was removed at this
temperature. On cooling the reaction mixture was getting solid. The solid
product was recrystallizated from acetone or ethanol to give the orange-red
needles of 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione; MP 108.5°C.
