The species Bathysa gymnocarpa K.Schum is a tree belonging to the Rubiaceae family, endemic in Brazil. So far, there are reports neither of phytochemical work nor of biological evaluation of it. The analysis by High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to a Diode Array Detector and a tandem Mass Spectrometer with an Electrospray Ionization source (HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS) of its crude extract allowed to characterize in a complex mixture, without isolation, fourteen compounds, being two as cinnamic acid derivatives, and the others as mono-, di-and triglycosilated derivatives of the flavonols quercetin and kaempferol. These compounds are reported for the first time in Bathysa spp.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
