Characterisation of flavonoids in Orostachys japonicus A. Berger using HPLC–MS/MS: Contribution to the overall antioxidant effect

Orostachys japonicus cultivated in the Republic of Korea was analysed for flavonoid content via HPLC coupled to MS/MS. Amongst 16 compounds that were characterised, eight flavonoids and one alkaloid were characterised for the first time: two procyanidin dimer gallate isomers ( 1 and 2), epigallochat...

Description
Summary:Orostachys japonicus cultivated in the Republic of Korea was analysed for flavonoid content via HPLC coupled to MS/MS. Amongst 16 compounds that were characterised, eight flavonoids and one alkaloid were characterised for the first time: two procyanidin dimer gallate isomers ( 1 and 2), epigallochatechin-3-gallate ( 3), two procyanidin dimer digallate isomers ( 4 and 9), quercetin 3- O-rhamnosyl-7- O-glucoside ( 6), myricetin 3- O-glucoside ( 10), kaempferol ( 16) and N 1, N 5, N 10-tri- p-( E,E,E)-coumaroylspermidine ( 15). The identified compounds were quantified by HPLC–UV/DAD. The antioxidant activity of the O. japonicus flavonoids was determined via 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH •), 2,2′-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical cation (ABTS •+) and nitric oxide radical (NO •) scavenging assays.
