Evaluation of the chemical profile from four germplasms sources of Pruni Semen using UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS and multivariate analyses.

ABSTRACT: Pruni Semen, the seed of several unique Prunus plants, is a traditional purgative herbal material. To determine the authentic sources of Pruni Semen, 46 samples from four species were collected and analyzed. Ten compounds including multiflorin A (Mul A), a notable purative compound, were isolated and identified by chemical separation and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Seventy-six communal components were identified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with linear ion trap-quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometry, and acetyl flavonoid glycosides were recognized as characteristic constituents. The flavonoids were distributed in the seed coat and cyanogenic glycosides in the kernel. Based on this, methods for identifying Pruni Semen from different sources were established us
