Estimation of bioactive compounds in different parts of six Terminalia species.
A fast, rapid and sensitive UPLC-ESI–MS/MS method was developed.
Identification and quantification of 37 compounds have been done successfully.
The results indicated significant variation in the total contents of the 37 compounds in Terminalia species and found most abundant in T. chebula fruit.
Principal component analysis was carried out to discriminate different Terminalia species.
