*2.5. Phytochemical Analysis by LC-MS*

The phytochemical profiles of the lyophilized HI extracts were analyzed by LC-MS. For this assay, an Agilent 1100 HPLC Series system (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA), equipped with degasser, binary gradient pump, column thermostat, autosampler, and UV detector, coupled with an Agilent Ion Trap 1100 SL mass spectrometer (LC/MSD Ion Trap VL) were used.
