BothRosa roxburghiiandR. sterilis, belonging to the Rosaceae, are endemic species in Guizhou Province, China. The fruits of these two species are mixed-used as functional food in the region. Aiming to elucidate the phytochemical characteristics ofR. roxburghiiandR. sterilisfruits, the essential oils and constituents in a methanol extract have been analyzed and compared by GC-MS and UFLC/Q-TOF-MS, respectively. As a result, a total of 135 volatile compounds were identified by GC-MS and 91 components were different betweenR. roxburghiiandR. sterilisfruits; a total of 59 compounds in methanol extracts were identified by UFLC/Q-TOF-MS, including 13 organic acids, 12 flavonoids, 11 triterpenes, nine amino acids, five phenylpropanoid derivatives, four condensed tannins, two stilbenes, two benzaldehyde derivatives and one benzoic acid derivative; and nine characteristic compounds were found betweenR. roxburghiiandR. sterilisfruits. This systematic study plays an important role forR. roxburghiiandR. sterilisfruits in the product development.Keywords:Rosa roxburghii;Rosa sterilis;constituents;GC-MS;UFLC/Q-TOF-MS

Salvianolic acid A (Sal A) has a wide range of pharmacological activities. To date, there have been no systematic and detailed metabolite research data of Sal A after oral administration in vitro and in vivo. In this study, a rapid and systematic method based on ultrafast liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry was developed to detect metabolites of Sal A in vitro (human liver microsome, human intestinal microbiota, artificial gastric, and intestinal juice) and in vivo (urine, plasma, feces, and various organs collected after oral administration of Sal A to normal rats and pseudo-germ-free rats). A total of 26 metabolites of Sal A were characterized. These metabolites were formed through extensive metabolic reactions, such as hydroxylation, hydrogenation, and glucuronidation reactions. This study provides novel possibility for exploring the potential biological mechanism of Sal A, and aids the promotion of clinical application.
