“…The dried powder (0.1 g) of each plant organ was blended with 80% (v/v) MeOH (1.5 mL) and then sonicated for 60 min. The solution was centrifuged at 12,000× g for 10 min using a microcentrifuge (R17 Plus, Hanil Scientific Co., Ltd., Gimpo, Korea) at 4 • C. The rosmarinic acid (RA), tilianin, and acacetin concentrations were determined by a HPLC system (1260 Infinity, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) [3,18]. The supernatant was filtered through a filter (0.45 µm), and then a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was conducted with a C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm; RS tech, Daejeon, Korea) at 30 • C. Standard compounds of pure RA, tilianin, acacetin, HPLC grade acetic acid, methanol, the pure compounds, analytical grade solvents, and reagents from Sigma-Aldrich, Co., Ltd., (Seoul, Korea) were used in this experiment.…”
