Hence, in this study, we present a validated, sensitive, reliable, and cheap narrow-bore LC-UV-ESI-MS/MS coupled to PDA (photodiode array detectors) method for the simultaneous isolation and identification of flavonoids and their glycosidic derivatives in this flower drug. In addition, the structures of two compounds have been elucidated by LC-MS experiments after isolation. Structure analyses allow proposing the presence of gossypitrin (gossypetin-7-O-glucoside) or gossypetin-3'-O-glucoside, a quercetin derivative, possibly quercetin-3-O-glucoside and an unidentified compound with an impair number of m/z, probably an alkaloid.展开更多

This crude drug showed the characteristic physicochemical values such as moisture content (13.11%), extractable matter in ethanol at 70% (13.53%), total ashes (3.45%), water soluble ashes (2.43%) and acid insoluble ashes (0.64%). Phytochemical screening revealed the possible presence of alkaloids, oils and/or fats, coumarins, saponins, flavonoids, pyrogallol-type tannins, quinones, catechins, reductants sugars, triterpens and steroids and absence of resins, aminoacids, cardiotonic glycosides, anthocyanidins and astringent and/or bitter principles, realized under WHO parameters.展开更多

Hence, in this study, we present a validated, sensitive and reliable NMR method for the simultaneous identification of flavonoids in this flower drug. Structure analyses of this flavonoid, revealed the identical glycoside moiety attached to a flavonol skeleton like gossypitrin, for which the structure of gossypetin-3'-O-β-glucoside was deduced from extensive NMR experiments.展开更多

Petals of genus Talipariti are rich source of secondary metabolites and most of these metabolitesare reported to possess expectorant, antasthmatic, appetitive, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Hence, in our study, we present avalidated, sensitive, reliable, and cheap narrow-bore UHPLC-UV-ESI-MS/MS coupled to PDA （photodiode array detectors） methodfor the simultaneous isolation and identification of flavonoids and their glycosidic derivatives in this flower drug. In addition, abouttwelve compounds were identified in this specie based on chromatography retention time （tR）, UV and MS/MS spectra and comparedwith those of isolated authentic compound and literature data. About eighth constituents were reported for the first time from Taliparitielatum. Our results demonstrated the developed method could be employed as a rapid and versatile analytical technique foridentification of chemical constituents and quality control of Talipariti elatum.展开更多
