Micromeria fruticosa is an important crop, is widely used in the Mediterranean basin as food and in folk medicine, owing to its health-promoting properties, partially due to the secondary metabolite composition. However, complete information on the phyto-metabolites in M. fruticosa is still lacking. Plant leaves were extracted in methanol (80%), then the phyto-metabolites were separated on C18 column and an extensive characterization using UHPLC–DAD-ESI–QTOF–MS² method in two ionization modes was established. A total of 215 phenolics and other compounds were tentatively identified, offering the first comprehensive study available on the phytochemicals from M. fruticosa. Over 180 phytochemicals (87 flavonoids, 41 phenolic acids, 16 terpenoids, 8 sulfate derivatives, 7 iridoids, and others) are reported in Micromeria for the first time. M. fruticosa can be a promising source of functional ingredients and has use in the food, pharma and nutraceutical industries.

金银花小种是重要的农作物，由于它具有促进健康的特性，在地中海盆地广泛用作食品和民间医学，部分原因是次生代谢产物的组成。然而，在植物代谢物的完整信息M.金露梅仍然缺乏。用甲醇（80％）提取植物叶片，然后在C18柱上分离植物代谢产物，并建立了使用UHPLC–DAD-ESI–QTOF–MS ²方法在两种电离模式下的广泛表征。初步鉴定出总共215种酚类化合物和其他化合物，这是对金露梅植物化学成分的首次全面研究。。首次报道Micromeria有超过180种植物化学物质（87种黄酮类化合物，41种酚酸，16种萜类化合物，8种硫酸盐衍生物，7种铱化合物等）。金黄色葡萄球菌可能是功能成分的有前途的来源，并已在食品，制药和营养保健行业中使用。
