Abstract: Abstract:The structures of proanthocyanidins from root, stem and leaf of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels et Gilg have been analyzed with 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC-ESI-MS) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The results showed that these proanthocyanidins from T. hemsleyanum were mainly composed of procyanidin (PC) and prodelphinidin (PD), the terminal units were mainly composed with catechin, epicatechin and epigallocatechin were the dominant of the extension units. The mean degree of polymerization (mDP) of proanthocyanidins from root, stem and leaf of T. hemsleyanum were found to be 4.89 ± 0.33, 3.77 ± 0.19 and 4.45 ± 0.48 respectively. Proanthocyanidins from trimers to decamers were detected within proanthocyanidins from root and stem, while proanthocyanidins up to undecamer were detected within proanthocyanidins from from leaf of T. hemsleyanum by MALDI-TOF MS. (Epi)catechin and (epi)gallocatechin monomer units individually and together with galloyl substituents and A type linkages prevalently existed within each single polymeric cluster. Proanthocyanidins from root, stem and leaf of T. hemsleyanum were structurally similar. The results of this study may provide some reference for the fundamental study and further development of T. hemsleyanum.
