  1. “ +  +  + , +  + , + ” means that the relative content is from high to low, “–”means very low content; Compd. was the compound number; Rt represtented retention time; Exptl. [M-H]- was experimental m/z of molecular ions in the negative ionisation mode; *Compound was positively identified by comparing the retention time, high-resolution molecular ions and fragment ions with the authentic standards. The mass spectrometry data such as total ion chromatograms, molecular ion peaks and secondary fragment ions were collected by Masslynx 4.1 software and processed with ProGenesis QI V2.0 (Waters Corp., Milford, USA).
