A Comprehensive Review on Chemotaxonomic and Phytochemical Aspects of Homoisoflavonoids,as Rare Flavonoid Derivatives

Homoisoflavonoids (3-benzylidene-4-chromanones) are considered as an infrequent flavonoid class, possessing multi-beneficial bioactivities. The present study gives an overview on phytochemical aspects of homoisoflavonoids, including utilized plant species, parts, extracts, and separation techniques. Overall, these compounds have mainly been isolated and identified from bulbs and rhizomes of the plants belonging to Asparagaceae and Fabaceae families, particularly the genera of Ophiopogon, Dracaena, Scilla, Polygonatum, and Caesalpinia.     

UPLC-HRMS~n结合高能诱导裂解快速鉴定麦冬中高异黄酮类成分

应用UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap法快速鉴定麦冬药材中高异黄酮类化合物,考察不同高能诱导裂解(HCD)能量下高异黄酮的裂解情况,优选特征碎片离子对进行鉴定,并探索麦冬中高异黄酮类成分的裂解规律。应用该方法在麦冬提取物中鉴定出68个高异黄酮类成分,其中包括26个高异黄酮成分,31个高异黄烷酮成分,11个高异黄酮糖苷类成分。结果表明,HCD模式能够提供丰富稳定的裂解碎片离子信息,结合UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap技术能够快速准确地鉴定复杂组分中高异黄酮类成分,可为中药系列成分研究提供有价值的方法参考。
