Two new flavonoids, Alpinetin-7-O-[3''--galloyl-4'',6''-hexahydroxy-diphenoyl]---glucose (), Pinocembrin-7--[4''--galloyl]---glucose (), and three known compound () were isolated from Pursh (Saxifragaceae). The structures of all compounds were deduced from their comprehensive spectroscopic analysis including IR, HR-ESI-MS,H NMR,C NMR, DEPT, COSY, HMBC and HMQC. Molecular docking model was used to test the anti-cholestatic liver activities of the isolated compounds, and compounds and showed higher docking scores (-9.90 and -11.27 kcal/mol, respectively) binding with FXR than , and (-8.00, -9.77, -9.10 kcal/mol, respectively), suggesting and exhibited potential anti-cholestatic activities. The present results show that is a potential source of 2 new lead compounds that can be utilised to produce therapeutic drugs for liver diseases upon further studies.

Maejo 341 Sweet potato (MSP) is a new purple sweet potato variety cultivated in Northern Thailand, but its health benefits are unknown. This study aimed to investigate its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-osteoporotic activities, as well as its anthocyanin content. The peel and flesh of MSP were extracted with ethanol and water.

Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was used to rapidly identify the chemical components in Dracocephalum moldavica, and UPLC was employed to determine the content of its main components. MS analysis was performed using an electrospray ionization(ESI) source and data were collected in the negative ion mode. By comparing the retention time and mass spectra of reference compounds, and using a self-built compound database and the PubChem database, 68 compounds were identified from D.

This study aims to identify the main chemical compounds, investigate the effects of different drying methods on the quality, and determine the appropriate drying method of Callicarpae Nudiflorae Folium. UPLC-UV-Q-TOF-MS was employed to characterize and identify 35 main compounds, including phenylethanoid glycosides, flavonoids, and iridoids in Callicarpae Nudiflorae Folium. A method for the simultaneous determination of 8 compounds with strong UV absorption and high content was established to evaluate the quality of Callicarpae Nudiflorae Folium dried by different methods.
