HPLC Determination of the Alkamide Affinin in Fresh and Dry Roots of Heliopsis longipes (Asteraceae) and HS-SPME-GC-MS-TOF Analysis of Volatile Components
Abstract:Heliopsis longipes (Asteraceae) is a plant whose roots are commonly used in Mexican cuisine as a substitute for hot pepper. This plant is also used in traditional medicine for its therapeutical properties. Previous reports detected the presence of affinin-an alkamide with analgesic propertiesin extracts of H. longipes. Here, we describe the development of a high-performance liquid chromatography-UV detector method for the determination of the alkamide affinin (1) as the major component in fresh and dry roots o… Show more
