Abstract
Hyptis verticillata Jacq. (Lamiaceae) is a Mexican medicinal plant for the treatment of skin infections and illness affecting the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems. To associate the efficient resolution provided by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography combined to the accuracy of a hybrid Fourier-transform (FT) mass spectrometer in order to dereplicate podophyllotoxin-type lignans in a plant extract. An ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array-high resolution electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA-HRESI-MS/MS) method was applied in an Orbitrap hybrid FT spectrometer for dereplication of podophyllotoxin and related cytotoxic lignans in wild bushmint. This procedure included high-resolution mass values for positively charged ions [M+H]+ and [M+NH4 ]+ , MS/MS data, and comparison of UV maxima and retention times with pure compounds. Podophyllotoxin in addition to seven aryltetralins, four arylnaphthalenes, and one dibenzylbutyrolactone were dereplicated from the methanol extract in a short-time analysis (5min). 4'-O-Demethyl-dehydro-deoxypodophyllotoxin was identified as a new natural product. The applied UHPLC-MS/MS dereplication method is suitable for a rapid analysis of podophyllotoxin-type lignans and the resulting chemical fingerprinting could be valuable in quality control of herbal drugs and their phytopharmaceuticals.
