Amentoflavone and Mangiferin in Hypericum calycinum, Hypericum cardiophyllum and Hypericum bithynicum

Abstract

The present study was conducted out to determine amentoflavone and mangiferin contents of Hypericum calycinum, Hypericum cardiophyllum and Hypericum bithynicum, growing wild in Turkey. The aerial parts representing a total of 30 individuals were collected at full flowering, dried at room temperature and assayed for secondary metabolite concentrations by HPLC-PDA. Both compounds were detected in all three species in different amounts depending on plant tissue. Results were discussed in phytochemical point of view. This is the first report on chemistry of H. cardiophyllum.

Keywords: Amentoflavone, hypericum species, HPLC, mangiferin
