Chemical constituents of flowers from Geoffroea spinosa Jacq. (Leguminosae), a plant species visited by bees

Publication date: February 2020Source: Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, Volume 88Author(s): Sonia Pereira Cabrera, Celso Amorim Camara, Tania Maria Sarmento SilvaAbstractPhytochemical investigation of flowers from Geoffroea spinosa via ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-TOF-MS/MS) resulted in the characterization of fourteen compounds: six flavonoids, three hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, and five hydroxycinnamic acid amide derivatives. This is the first report on the identification of hydroxycinnamic acid amide derivatives from the genus Geoffroea. The chemotaxonomic significance of the identified compounds is discussed.Graphical abstract
