  • a Solvents used for chromatography were A (10% methanol/90% water/ 0.05% formic acid, v/v) and B (90% acetonitrile/10% water/0.05% formic acid)

  • b A PerkinElmer HPLC system, composed of a series 200 LC pump and autosampler and an API Triple Quadrupole LC/MS-MS Mass Spectrometer (Sciex API 2000) with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization ion source was used to perform the qualitative and quantitative analyses
