In the present study a method based on liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC/DAD) coupled to an electrospray ionization (ESI) interface for the simultaneous determination of phenolic constituents in three aqueous preparations of the herbal medicinal drug Stachys recta. The developed assay was simple and effective and permitted the quality control of S. recta decoctions and infusion. Overall, 30 constituents were detected and identified, belonging mainly to three classes of compounds: caffeoylquinic acids, phenylethanol glycosides and flavonoids. 15 of them were quantified having a lower limit not less than 0.02% of the lyophilized extracts. Only seven of them were previously reported in this species, while 23 were identified for the first time as constituents of S. recta. HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS analysis provided evidence for the certain identification of the main constituents and in some cases of their isomers. Eight constituents were isolated and their structure elucidated by HPLC-ESI-MS and 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy. Among the investigated preparations, the infusion seems to be the best method to extract the native constituents of the plant, while decoction is a more aggressive treatment and causes partial degradation of some acylated flavonoids.

D006027 Glycosides Any compound that contains a constituent sugar, in which the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon is substituted by an alcoholic, phenolic, or other group. They are named specifically for the sugar contained, such as glucoside (glucose), pentoside (pentose), fructoside (fructose), etc. Upon hydrolysis, a sugar and nonsugar component (aglycone) are formed.

D021241 Spectrometry, Mass, Electrospray Ionization A mass spectrometry technique used for analysis of nonvolatile compounds such as proteins and macromolecules. The technique involves preparing electrically charged droplets from analyte molecules dissolved in solvent. The electrically charged droplets enter a vacuum chamber where the solvent is evaporated. Evaporation of solvent reduces the droplet size, thereby increasing the coulombic repulsion within the droplet. As the charged droplets get smaller, the excess charge within them causes them to disintegrate and release analyte molecules. The volatilized analyte molecules are then analyzed by mass spectrometry.
