Metabolomics has played a central role in various areas of plant sciences, offering new perspectives for the advancement of agriculture, drug discovery, chemical ecology and taxonomy. Plant metabolomics (identification and quantification) aims to understand the relationship between biological systems and genetic, pathological and or environmental stimuli in terms of differential expression of the metabolism.

Senna spectabilis (syn Cassia spectabilis) is one of the most important species within the Fabaceae family, natively found in Central and South America, as well as parts of Asia and Africa. Due to the extensive geographical distribution, this fast-growing tree produces a wide variety of bioactive secondary metabolites, being of special interest for chemical and pharmacological studies. Phytochemical investigati...
The search for new sources of natural products steadily increased the use of bioinformatic tools that enabled efficient analysis of complex matrices. In this context, dereplication methods emerged as a fast way of identifying known compounds, accelerating the identification of bioactive chemotypes. Although 1H NMR is widely used as an analytical technique, few studies have been reported using it as a dereplicat...
