Abstract
Phenolic compounds of purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria L.) were analys ed by the use of liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (LC/MS) equipped with atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation (APCI) and electrospray ioni sation (ESI). The presence of vitexin and orientin as well as their isomers , isovitexin and isoorientin, were confirmed using ion trap multiple stage LC/MS3 analysis. Several phenolic acids and tannins were also detected. Ell agitannins, vescalagin and pedunculagin, are reported from the plant for th e first time.
