Abstract
Ilex paraguariensis A. St. Hil. is a native plant of South America widely consumed as beverages for its ethno pharmacological properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypocholesterolemic as well as its benefits on the cardiovascular system. Since these properties are related to its chemical composition, the identification and quantification of the major compounds of I. paraguariensis extracts still remains relevant. The data described in this article supports previous results on the anti-inflammatory effect of I. paraguariensis A. St. Hil (Mate), “The anti-inflammatory effect of I. paraguariensis A. St. Hil (Mate) in a murine model of pleurisy” [1]. The present data article reports on nine major compounds identified in I. paraguariensis extracts and its related fractions by using UPLC-PDA and UPLC-QTOF. Identification of the constituents was based on their retention times, UV absorption spectra and mass spectra data, as well as by comparison with authentic samples. The validated parameters show that the quantification by UPLC-PDA methodology developed is sensitive, precise and accurate.
Highlights
The validated parameters show that the quantification by UPLC-photodiode array detector (PDA) methodology developed is sensitive, precise and accurate
Chromatographic and mass spectrometric data can be used for comparison with other studies performed on I. paraguariensis extracts
The extract contents and the metabolites identification data will provide a valuable reference for studies comprising the chemical and pharmacological effects of I. paraguariensis
Summary
Figure and tables Ultra performance liquid chromatography with photo-diode array and mass spectrometry detection using an Acquity-UPLCTM (Waters, MA, USA) coupled to a high-resolution mass spectrometer (Xevo G2-S QTof model), equipped with an electrospray ionization source and controlled by MassLynx v.4.1 software. The extract and the fractions of Ilex paraguariensis leaves were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by UPLC-PDA and UPLC-MS. Chromatographic and mass spectrometric data can be used for comparison with other studies performed on I. paraguariensis extracts. The extract contents and the metabolites identification data will provide a valuable reference for studies comprising the chemical and pharmacological effects of I. paraguariensis. The following dataset includes one figure and two tables that support the identification as well as validation assays to quantify the major compounds of Ilex paraguariensis samples extracts. The different contents data of compounds of I. paraguariensis crude extract and its related fractions are showed in Table 1 in Ref. N.d. – not detected. a Identification based on mass spectra, chromatographic profiles and previous reports
