Phenolic acids of native species of the Rosa L. genus in Poland

Abstract

Phenolic acids were identified in the leaves of 23 species of native roses and their quantitative proportions were determined by the method of two-dimensional paper chromatography. The common occurrence of ellagic and gallic acid in roses was confirmed and so was the regular presence of protocatechuic, caffeic, gentisic, p-hydroxybenzoic, p-hydroxyphenylacetic, p-cumaric, syringic, vanillic, ferulic and salicylic acids. A small amount of isoferulic acid was noted only in <i>Rosa gizellae</i> Borb. and <i>R. eglanteria</i> L. var. <i>comosa</i> (Ripart) Du Mortier. Homoprotocatechuic acid was revealed only in the species of the <i>Rosa rubiginosa</i> and <i>Rosa tomentosa</i> groups from the <i>Caninae </i>section. The taxonomically limited occurrence of some phenolic acids points to the systematic differentiating value of the latter within one genus.

“…Differences are also noticed in the morphological features of RC1, RC2 and RC5 regarding the colour, fruit shape, fruit taste, flesh content, presence or absence of thorns. Some authors [32] assert that the taxonomic assignment level lower than species (i.e. subspecies and variety) plays a great role in what concerns the level of vitamin C in rose hips.…”

Characterization of Free and Bound Phenolic Acids and Flavonoid Aglycones in Rosa rugosa Thunb. Leaves and Achenes Using LC–ESI–MS/MS–MRM Methods

“…To date, a small amount of this acid has only been found in Rosa gizellae Borb. and Rosa rubiginosa L. var comosa leaves [30]. To the best of our knowledge, there is no information about its presence in other roses or rose organs.…”

“…Gallic, protocatechuic, caffeic, syringic, 4-hydroxy-benzoic, vanillic, gentisic, p-coumaric, ferulic, and salicylic acids were previously detected in rugosa leaves [13,30]. However, the content of their free and bound forms have not been reported to date.…”

Phenolic Profile of Potentilla anserina L. (Rosaceae) Herb of Siberian Origin and Development of a Rapid Method for Simultaneous Determination of Major Phenolics in P. anserina Pharmaceutical Products by Microcolumn RP-HPLC-UV

“…As a result of phytochemical investigations, the presence of the following compounds in the herb of P. anserina was established: catechins (catechin, gallocatechin [6], epigallocatechin, epicatechin, ellagic acid [7]); ellagitannins (agrimoniin, pedunculagin [8]); phenolic acids (gallic, p -hydroxybenzoic, vanillic, gentizic, p -hydroxyphenylacetic, p -coumaric, caffeic, ferulic [9], chlorogenic acids [10]); coumarins (umbelliferon, scopoletin [11]); flavonoids (myricetin [12], myricetin-3- O -β- d -glucuronide, myricitrin, isorhamnetin-3- O -β- d -glucuronide, isoquercitrin, reynoutrin, quercitrin, quercetin-3- O -β- d -sambubioside, miquelianin, astragalin, tiliroside, 8-methoxykaempferol-3- O -sophoroside [6], rutin, nicotoflorin, linarin [10]); isoflavones (genistein [10]); pyrones (2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylic acid [13]); aliphatic compounds (nonacosane, ceryl alcohol, arachidic, cerotic, palmitic, myristic, linoleic, linolenic and oleic acids [14]); and polysaccharides [15]. According to known data about the chemical constituents of P. anserina , the occurrence of different classes of phenolic compounds was previously reported for plant material collected in Europe (Poland, Germany, Italy, Ukraine) [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. There is currently no information about the chemical composition of P. anserina growing in Siberia.…”
