Abstract

With apigenin as raw material, 5-prenyloxy apigenin was synthesized and identified by high performance liquid chromatography - ultra violet - electrospray ionization tandem/ mass spectrometry (HPLC-UV-ESI/MS). And its antioxidant activity in linoleic acid system was superior to that of apigenin, which could support our hypothesis about antioxidant function regions of flavonoids.

 

Key words: Apigenin, o-prenylation, antioxidant, high performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI/MS).
