As a result, 96 compounds were tentatively identified in this study: including 31 phenolic acids, 4 flavonoid aglycones, 6 flavonoid mono-O-glycosides, 10 flavonoid-O-diglycosides, 5 flavonoid mono-C-glycosides, 5 flavonoid di-C-glycosides, 6 flavonoid O,C-glycosides, 5 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl) glycosyl flavonoids, 1 flavan-3-ol, and 2 alkaloids. In addition, 21 polymethoxy flavonoids (PMFs) were identified in this paper. Among these compounds, 52 compounds, which were previously found in other Citrus plants, have been identified for the first time in Citri Reticulatae Folium. 15 compounds have not been previously found in the Citrus genus were identified. Moreover, 9 potentially new compounds have also been detected in this paper. This is the first report of the full characterization of chemical components of Citri Reticulatae Folium (leaves of'Fuju') by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn.展开更多

In this study, HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn was utilized to study the stability and degradation of the two major but chemically unstable bioactive compounds hydroxysaffior yellow A and anhydrosaffior yellow B, in Safflower injection. The impact of light irradiation, temperature, and pH on the stability of these two compounds were studied. The results showed that hydroxysafflor yellow A and anhydrosafflor yellow B could degrade at high temperature (〉60 ℃) or extreme pHs (pH ≤ 3.0 or 〉7.0), but not under light irradiation. The common degradation product was p-coumaric acid. Chemical structures of the other degradation products were characterized by LC-MS. Hypothetical degradation pathways were proposed. In addition, ADP-induced platelet aggregation tests showed that the degradation of anhydrosaffior yellow B could reduce the anticoagulation activities of Safflower injection. Our results suggest that temperature and pH are critically important for the preparation and storage of Safflower injection.展开更多
