Phytochemical analysis of different <i>Callicarpa</i> species based on integrating metabolomics and chemometrics

Based on the relative abundance of these markers, it was proposed that Callicarpa giraldii Hesse ex Rehd. var. (CGHRV) and CM could serve as alternative resource species to CN, while CGHRV and Callicarpa giraldii Hesse ex Rehd. (CGHR) could substitute the pharmacopeial CM. Callicarpa longissimi (CLG) was suggested as an alternative to CK, while Callicarpa cathayana (CC) and Callicarpa rubella (CRL) could replace CF. Furthermore, the absence of certain compounds in CK presented a novel opportunity for the differentiation of various Callicarpa species.
