Variations in phenolic acid metabolites among <i>Forsythia suspensa</i> populations in response to environmental heterogeneity.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl,a pharmacopoeial medicinal plant,is valued for its therapeutic efficacy in clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling wind-heat, and promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis. Phenolic acids, ubiquitous secondary metabolites in F. suspensa, are critically linked to pharmacological activities and exhibit diverse biological functions.It is therefore of significant interest to investigate whether environmental changes also alter the content distribution of phenolic acids in F. suspensa.

Methods

To elucidate the chemical diversity and ecological drivers of its bioactive compounds, we conducted phenolic acids metabolomic profiling across 10 wild populations F. suspensa using UPLC-MS/MS.
