title: Profiling isoflavone conjugates in different organs of Lupinus exaltatus Zucc.
abstract: The profiles of isoflavone conjugates in extracts obtained from different parts of Lupinus exaltatus Zucc. grown in Mexico were compared using HPLC-UV and HPLC-ESI/MSn. Collision-induced dissociation-MSn experiments were performed using an ion trap analyser during HPLC-ESI/MS analyses. Nineteen isoflavone conjugates were identified in samples obtained from air-dried roots, leaves, stems and inflorescences of lupin plants. It was possible to determine the structures of the studied compounds on the basis of the MS recorded. The compounds identified were di- and mono-glucosides of genistein and 2'-hydroxygenistein with a different pattern of C- and O-glycosylation. Some glucosides were acylated with malonic acid. It was not possible to establish the glycosylation sites on the basis of MS alone; however, it was possible to differentiate isoflavone C- and O-glucosides. The highest levels of isoflavones and their conjugates were detected in roots and the lowest in stems. Free aglycones were identified in roots and inflorescences but they were not found in stems and leaves.
