  "abstract": "High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) enables rapid characterization of complex polyphenolic constituents in medicinal plants. Mansoa hirsuta (Bignoniaceae), a neotropical liana traditionally used to treat infectious diseases, remains poorly characterized chemically. This study reports the comprehensive UHPLC-DAD-HRMS/MS profiling of ethanolic extracts from leaves, stems, and fruits, leading to the identification of 57 phenolic compounds, including 40 previously unreported flavonoid conjugates. Accurate mass measurements and diagnostic MS/MS fragmentation patterns enabled the structural characterization of five classes of dihydrochalcone-derived metabolites: dihydrochalcone-tyramine, -flavanone (mansoin-type), -flavan-3-ol, and -flavonol conjugates. Characteristic fragment ions, particularly those corresponding to the dihydrochalcone core and tyramine moiety, supported the annotation of novel oligomeric flavonoids. Organ-specific metabolite distribution revealed leaves enriched in Mansoin A-type heterotrimers, stems containing phenylethanoid glycosides and cinnamoyl-mangiferins, and fruits predominated by simpler dihydrochalcone-tyramine conjugates. All extracts exhibited low cytotoxicity (CC₅₀ > 400 μg mL⁻¹) and selective antiviral activity against Zika (ZIKV), chikungunya (CHIKV), Mayaro (MAYV), and dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2). The stem extract showed the highest selectivity against ZIKV (SI > 25.5), whereas the fruit extract displayed the greatest potency against DENV-2 (EC₅₀ = 25.4 ± 1.2 μg mL⁻¹; SI > 19.7). These findings expand the phytochemical knowledge of M. hirsuta, demonstrate the utility of HRMS-based metabolite profiling for dereplication of complex flavonoids, and provide diagnostic MS/MS fragmentation patterns applicable to the characterization of related oligomeric flavonoids in other plant species.",
