A profiling analysis of the total isoflavone extract of the root of Pueraria lobata (Wild.) Ohwi was performed using HPLC coupled with ESI-ion trap mass spectrometry. A total of seven isoflavones were identified according to their retention times, UV, MS data, and comparing with the literature data. Among them, two proposed new compounds were isolated and their structures were determined to be 8-C-alpha-glucofuranosyl-7,4'-dihydroxyisoflavone and 8-C-beta-glucofuranosyl-7,4'-dihydroxyisoflavone, named as neopuerarin A (7) and neopuerarin B (6), on the basis of chemical and spectral analyses.

Background: Pueraria is an edible and medicinal raw material, which is of great value to the pharmaceutical and food industries. Nonetheless, due to morphological diversity and complex domestication history, the classification of Pueraria plants is ambiguous. As the varieties on the market are mixed, the species are difficult to distinguish, and their morphological characteristics are similar to the physical and chemical properties.

Puerariae Lobatae Radix, as a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) with both medicinal and edible properties, possesses effects such as relieving muscle tension and fever, generating fluids and quenching thirst, and unblocking the meridians and collaterals. Modern fermentation technology, combined with microecology and modern bioengineering, can regulate the fermentation process and efficiently produce fermentation products. In recent years, modern fermentation technology has been widely applied in TCM, enhancing or altering efficacy, reducing toxicity, and expanding the scope of clinical applications.
