Stilbenes in Carex acuta and Carex lepidocarpa. [PDF]
MoleculesStilbenes in the roots of Carex acuta and Carex lepidocarpa were studied. Root samples were extracted with 100% methanol and analyzed by HPLC and LC-MS. In this way, trans-resveratrol dimers (m/z 455 Da [M + H]+), trimers (m/z 681 Da [M + H]+) and tetramers (m/z 907 Da [M + H]+) were identified in the extracts.
