Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the flavonoid and volatile compound profiles of leaves, bark, and flowers of Cercis siliquastrum L. Flavonoids were separated via chromatographic techniques and identified using NMR spectrometry and MS, while volatile compounds were analyzed by headspace GC-MS. A total of eight flavonoids (catechin, epicatechin 3-O-gallate, epigallocatechin 3-O-gallate, dihydromyricetin 3-O-rhamnoside, kaempferol 3-O-rhamnoside, quercetin 3-O-rhamnoside, myricetin 3-O-rhamnoside, and myricetin 3-O-glucoside), and 27 volatile compounds were identified. Myricetin 3-O-rhamnoside was detected in a high concentration in C. siliquastrum leaves and flowers, while catechin was predominantly found in the bark. Considering the GC-MS results, aldehydes dominated in C. siliquastrum leaves and flowers, and monoterpenes were the most abundant volatile compounds in the bark. Additionally, an analytical system for flavonoid analysis in C. siliquastrum was established, and the chemophenetic significance of flavonoids in the genus Cercis was discussed.
期刊介绍:
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).
In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.
