Journal: Biomolecules
Year: 2024

A comprehensive metabolite profiling of the medicinal plant <i>Silene viridiflora</i> using an UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS method is described for the first time. A total of 71 compounds were identified and annotated, the most common of which were flavonoids, triterpene glycosides, and ecdysteroids. The three major compounds schaftoside, 26-hydroxyecdysone, and silviridoside can be chosen as the markers for the assessment of the quality of <i>S. viridiflora</i> preparations. The methanol extract and a varie
