“…3. Comparing the retention time, UV spectra and mass spectra of the components in SFI with those of the reference standards, the peaks could be unambiguously identified as the known constituents, adenine (3) [17,18], 5-hydroxymethyl-furaldehyde (5) [19,20], calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (9) [21,22], lobetyolin (13) [11,23], ononin (14) [21,24], and astragaloside IV (3′) [25,26], respectively. The other components were tentatively identified according to their MS fragmentation pattern, and also by studying their UV spectral characteristics and reported literatures.…”
