Özet

Specialized natural product analysis of six Turkish endemic and two narrowly distributed Centaurea L. taxa was performed via electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) fingerprinting and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), which is an effective methodology that is widely used for fast screening of complex natural mixtures such as food extracts, but not has not been used as commonly for plant chemophenetics. This method is preferable when it is aimed to compare a large number of plant extracts for chemophenetic purposes and when it is difficult to provide equally good chromatographic separation in all of the extracts. ESI-MS shows the major compounds in fingerprinting extracts. LC-MS/MS provides identification according to fragmentation with the advantage of MS/MS, and validation can be performed in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode with simultaneous precursor and product ion scans. Herein, sixteen flavones, four flavonols, four flavanones, two lignans, three sesquiterpene lactones, and four phenolic acids, a total of thirty three substances, were identified tentatively or unambiguously from the extracts. It was concluded that ESI-MS fingerprinting is a suitable method for plant chemophenetics when coupled and validated with LC-MS/MS. Moreover, it was concluded that sesquiterpene lactones, lignans, and flavonoids are suitable for taxonomic purposes in Centaurea owing to species-specific metabolite profiles.
