HPLC-ESI-MS analysis. HPLC-ESI-MS was carried out in switch (positive/negative) ion mode using an
Agilent 1100 Series liquid chromatography HPLC system (Agilent, Palo Alto, CA, USA) coupled with a
Thermo Finnigan LCQ Advantage ion trap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, CA, USA) and equipped with an ESI source. The HPLC system included a binary pump, a thermostated autosampler, a column oven, and a diode array detector. A
Gemini C18 column (150 mm × 3 mm, 3 µm; Phenomenex, Torrance, CA, USA) was used with an injection volume of 5 L and a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. All samples were filtered through 0.2 µm sterile membranes before HPLC-MS analysis. The HPLC gradient used water (A) and ACN (B) (both acidified with 0.1% formic acid) as follows: 10%-100% B in 10 minutes and 100%-100% B in 4 minutes. The MS instrument parameters were: nebulization gas, N 2 , 50 a.u. sheath and 10 a.u. auxiliary gas flow; spray voltage, ±4.5 kV; capillary temperature, 275 °C; capillary voltage, -10 V; tube lens offset, -50 V.
NMR Analysis. NMR spectra of daphnetin and daphnoretin were acquired on a Bruker
500 MHz Avance III spectrometer (Bruker Biospin, Rheinstetten, Germany).
Methanol-d4 (Euriso-Top, Saint-Aubin, France) was used as a deuterated solvent and its protonated residual signals were used as an internal standard at 3.31 ppm relative to trimethylsilane.
