SummaryThe metabolite profiling of methanol extract of bark of M. napaulensis (MNBM) was done by LC-MS/MS analysis. The plant stem was cleaned and shade dried. The dried plant stem was ground into fine powder. The extraction was done by cold maceration process. The extract was filtered using Whatman filter paper No. 1. and was dried under reduced pressure at room temperature below 40oC, the extract was stored in closed vials at 4oC for further analysis. The metabolite profiling of methanol extract of M. napaulensis stem (MNSM) was done by LC-MS/MS analysis. The LC-MS/MS analysis identified 115 metabolites. The most abundant five metabolites are - dihydroberberine (86.05%), D-(+)-malic acid (3.43%), D-(-)-quinic acid (2.71%),(2R)-3-{[(2-aminoethoxy)(hydroxy)phosphoryl]oxy}-2-{[10-(2-hexylcyclopropyl)decanoyl] oxy}propyl palmitate (2.11%) and D-(−)-erythrose (0.83%). The literature study through PubChem and Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) reported that the metabolites dihydroberberine (86.05%), curcumin (0.49%), protopine (0.40%), hymecromone (0.07%), a-linolenic Acid (0.06%), menadione (0.06%), 6-gingerol (0.04%), (S)-equol (0.03%), pterostilbene (0.004%), phloretin (0.002%), 1-O-feruloyl-β-D-glucose (0.002%), and naringin (0.002%) have anticancer activity.
