Phytochemical analysis of Syringa vulgaris: Quantitative analysis of natural compounds by LC-ESI-MS/MS

Abstract

The significant biological activity exhibited by medicinal plants is attributed to the presence of bioactive compounds, which makes them suitable for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In the case of Syringa vulgaris flowers, a quantitative analysis of its bioactive compound content was conducted using LC-ESI-MS/MS. Among the identified compounds, hesperidin was found to be the majör component, with a concentration of 0.33 mg/g extract. Additionally, the methanol extract of S. vulgaris flowers contained relatively high concentrations of naringenin (0.197 mg/g extract), chlorogenic acid (0.101 mg/g extract), o-coumaric acid (0.056 mg/g extract), salicylic acid (0.045 mg/g extract), and sinapic acid (0.04 mg/g extract). These findings highlight the presence of these bioactive compounds in S. vulgaris flowers and their potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical sectors.
