摘要

Mammea coumarins are isoprenylated 4-alkyl or 4-phenylcoumarins. Their distribution is limited to 3 Clusiaceae/Calophyllaceae genera. We recently reported on their presence in Mammea neurophylla bark extracts, where they exhibited anti-AGE properties associated with a prevention of the endothelial dysfunction. About 120 mammea coumarins were already described so, in order to focus further phytochemical analysis on original or bio-active compounds, we developed a methodology to facilitate the detection and identification of compounds of interest. Our aim was to develop a LC-DAD-ESI-MSn method for rapid, sensitive and simple analysis of the mammea coumarins in calophyllaceous/clusiaceous species. For that, full LC-DAD-MSn data were acquired from 11 4-phenylcoumarins previously isolated in our laboratory. Bark, leaves and fruits of M. neurophylla were then extracted with DCM using an ASE apparatus. Extracts were finally analyzed through LC-DAD-HRMSn and UV and MS profiles were compared to our database as well as literature data. Detected new compounds were isolated and their structures elucidated through H-1, C-13 and 2D NMR analysis. Finally, 24 known mammea coumarins were dereplicated from bark, leaf and fruit DCM extracts of M. neurophylla and the structure of 4 unreported compounds could be predicted. In particular, the structures of mammea A/AA 9-hydroxyCycloF and mammea A/AB 9-hydroxyCycloF were confirmed after purification and extensive NMR analyses. By comparison of UV and mass fragmentation data from a small library of reference compounds, LC-DAD-HRMSn analysis of mammea coumarins in crude extracts allows the structure prediction of novel or bio-active compounds. This useful guiding-tool could be easily applied to other Clusiaceae/Calophyllaceae phytochemical analysis.
