The chemical analysis of the cornelian cherry extract was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-PDA), as described previously by Kucharska et al. [46 (link)]. The HPLC analysis was performed using a Dionex (Germering, Germany) system equipped with an Ultimate 3000 diode array detector, LPG-3400A quaternary pump, EWPS-3000SI autosampler, TCC-3000SD thermostated column compartment, and controlled by Chromeleon v.7.2 software (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA). The HPLC conditions are summarized in Table S1. The compounds were identified by comparing their retention times and UV-Vis spectra with authentic standards of iridoid and phenolic compounds (Extrasynthese, Genay, France) and by comparison with literature data. Iridoids were quantified as loganic acid, anthocyanins as cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, phenolic acids as p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and ellagic acid, flavonols as quercetin 3-O-glucoside or kaempferol 3-O-glucoside. The cornelian cherry extract was analyzed in three repetitions.
