Abstract

The chemical profile of Bambusa multiplex cv. Fernleaf (B. multiplex) leaves was analysed by UPLC-DAD-Q-TOF-MS. Twelve compounds were identified and C-glycosyl flavonoids, including vitexin, isovitexin, isoorientin and its derivatives, are the main constitutes of the plant. Besides, a HPLC method for isoorientin quantification was developed. The RSD of retention time and peak area were 0.05% and 2.04% for six times analysis of isoorientin with concentration of 20 μg/mL. The recovery of isoorientin in real sample was 99.2%. The general trend of isoorientin content in B. multiplex leaves was that it steady increased from Jan. to May, and then quickly decreased. The maximum was found on May with value of 4.7 mg/g. The lowest level of isoorientin was found during Aug. to Nov. with value of about 1.66 mg/g. In different seasons, isoorientin is always the most dominant flavonoid which was accounted for about 50% of total flavonoids in the sample.
