Yulian Voynikov, Dimitrina Jeleva, Reneta Gevrenova Hydroxycinnamic acid amide profile of Solanum schimperianum Hochst by UPLC-HRMS Yulian Voynikov, Dimitrina Jeleva, Reneta Gevrenova
Solanum Schimperianum, Hochst Widely distributed in the tropical Africa, as well as the southern parts of the middle east No known folkloric usage, known locally as Millyan and Nakhab Flavonols Astragalin, isoquercitin, 3-kaempferol-diglucoside rutin Glycoalkaloids Solanopubamine α-solamargine and β-solamargine + other still non-identified Glycoalkaloids
Where we were headed … 80% MeOH extract positive HR-ESI-MS λmax (nm) 220, 315
Where we headed … 80% MeOH extract The appearance of these signals can be explained by cis/trans isomerization of the double bond of HCA residues that is known to be strongly enhanced by light The total ion current (TIC) chromatograms typically comprised one minor peak closely eluting with another major peak
Where we headed … C16H23O5N2 - C10H9O3 = C6H14O2N2 (the amine moiety)

Hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs) HCAAs contribute to: stress such as antioxidant properties, resistance to cold stress or pathogens, These compounds seemingly contribute to the formation of a polyphenolic barrier which makes the cell walls more resistant to enzyme attacks plant growth and organ development the main phenolic constituent of reproductive organs and seeds floral induction and reproduction, control of intracellular polyamine concentrations
