Production of this plant extract library was funded by a grant from the Starr Foundation to the Osher Institute of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. The library contains extracts from plants used in traditional Chinese medicine. Crude extracts from the plants were obtained and further fractionated to eliminate nuisance compounds, especially those of high molecular weight or high polarity.

Screening positives that have been confirmed by follow-up experiments on cherry picked samples can be further fractionated via a collaboration with the lab of Dr. Jon Clardy (BCMP Department, Harvard Medical School). Please contact Caroline Shamu (caroline_shamu"AT"hms.harvard.edu) to arrange for purification of “hit” compounds from extract samples.

The Starr1 library has been retired, but many of the extracts in this library are available for screening in the Starr2 library.
