A secondary metabolic pattern using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)–DAD/ESI-MS was constructed to gain chemical information for authentication of Senecio scandens (SS) and Senecio vulgaris (SV), the two representative species containing hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (HPAs). The metabolic pattern showed three groups of bioactive constituents: phenolic/aromatic acids, flavonoid glycosides and the HPAs. 47 peaks were identified including 19 phenolic/aromatic acids, 10 flavonoid glycosides and 18 PAs by direct comparison with the available reference compounds or deduced from the UV absorption and their ESI-MS fragmentation patterns. The two species could be authenticated diagnostically by their metabolic profiling of the three chromatographic fingerprints. Although both SS and SV contain PAs as the characteristic constituents, only 2 PAs, adonifoline and adonifoline N-oxide were detected in SS, while other 16 PAs were detected in SV, including the highly toxic senecionine, retrorsine, seneciphylline and their corresponding N-oxides. The concentration of PAs in SV is also higher than that in SS. The number and concentration of the phenolic compounds in SS were higher than in SV. Jacaranone derivatives were only detected in SS and jacaranone ethyl ester was detected as the predominant constituent. In the fingerprint of the n-butanol extracts, 10 quercetin and kaempferol glycosides derivatives were detected. 9 were found in SS and only 2 in SV. PAs, jacaranone derivatives and flavonoid glycosides can serve as the metabolic markers to distinguish the Senecio plants from each other, and provide evidence for their clinical application in the consideration of safety and efficacy.
