Abstract

Spilanthes acmella var calva popularly known as ‘Marauti’ in Nepal, are widely used by different communities as the food ingredients in their traditional cuisines. It displays a unique tingling sensation mainly due to N-alkylamides when applied to mucosal surfaces. Spilanthes served as a remedy for alleviating toothache, throat infections and other oral ailments. N- Alkylamide profilings of Spilanthes extracts were performed using a gradient reversed phase high performance liquid chroma- tography/ electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS) method. A total of 33 peaks were analyzed and 16 N-alkylamides were identified. Seven compounds (1, 5, 6, 8, 15, 16 and 25) were N-isobutylamides and nine compounds (4, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17, 18 and 20) were 2-phenylethylamides.
