RT, retention time; [M−H]  (m/z), negatively charged molecular ion; MS2  (m/z), daughter ions produced from [M−H] fragmentation; , maximum absorbance for compound identification by UV-vis spectra; sh, shoulder. identified using corresponding standards. Other compounds are tentatively proposed on the basis of RT, accurate MS, and MS/MS according to data from the literature.
