Mass spectrometry as a tool for the dereplication of saponins from <i>Ampelozizyphus amazonicus</i> Ducke bark and wood

This research describes a useful method for the fast and simultaneous tentative identification of major saponins in AA, contributing to the study of the chemical properties of this genus and family. Furthermore, it demonstrates the importance of the qualitative dereplication process, allowing a straightforward way to propose the tentative identification of compounds.
