“…Thus, UPLC was applied to investigate the metabolic profiles of Flos A. manihot extract by normal and CKD model rat intestinal bacteria. Generally, flavonoid glycosides can be deglycosylated by enzymes of the gut microbiota, and then flavonoid aglycons are further metabolized through demethylation, dehydroxylation, hydrolytic, ring‐cleavage and some other reactions (Aura, ; Ha, Na, Ha, Kim, & Kim, ; Karabin, Hudcova, Jelinek, & Dostalek, ; Serra et al, ). In this study, with the optimized method, eight parent components – myricetin‐3‐ O ‐glucoside (M1), rutin (M2), hyperoside (M3), isoquercitrin (M4), hibifolin (M5), myricetin (M6), quercetin‐3′‐ O ‐glucoside (M7), quercetin (M8) – and their metabolites were detected after being compared with blank samples, which just contained Flos A. manihot extract (Table ).…”
