Identification of Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Cytotoxic Compounds From Hymenocardia acida Tul. Using Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Exactive-Orbitrap-Mass Spectrometry and Molecular Networking Approach.

ABSTRACT: Hymenocardia acida Tul. is a medicinal plant used in Angola to treat microbial diseases. It is a well-known plant among local populations; however, few studies have focused on the assessment of phytochemicals associated with their biological activities. Hence, there is a need to evaluate the metabolomic profile of compounds that contribute to the antimicrobial, antioxidant activities, and cytotoxic effects of H. acida. This study investigated the chemical profile, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, and cytotoxic effects of compounds derived from different plant organs of H. acida. The compounds were analyzed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap mass spectrometry, and the resulting data were further analyzed using a molecular netw
