A targeted prenylation analysis by a combination of IT-MS and HR-MS: Identification of prenyl number, configuration, and position in different subclasses of (iso)flavonoids

Prenylated (iso)flavonoids are potent bioactive compounds found in the Fabaceae family. Analysis and quantification of this type of phytochemicals is challenging due to their large structural diversity. In this study, the fragmentation of prenylated (iso)flavonoids was investigated using electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry (ESI-IT-MSn) with fragmentation by collision induced dissociation (CID) in combination and Orbitrap-MS...
