Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish a rapid and efficient ultra high performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap orbital trap tandem mass spectrometry(UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS/MS) method for systematic and comprehensive qualitative analysis of chemical components in Massa Medicata Fermentata.
METHODS UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS/MS was used to scan the precise molecular weight of the compounds in Massa Medicata Fermentata, and accurate qualitative analysis of Massa Medicata Fermentata was achieved through reference substance and multi-stage fragment ion information, combined with relevant literature and fragmentation rules.
RESULTS A total of 76 chemical components were identified, including amino acids, nucleosides, flavonoids, organic acids, phenylpropanoids, terpenoids, cyanosides, unsaturated fatty acids, etc., and the peak area of 76 components before and after fermentation of Massa Medicata Fermentata was compared, and a total of 8 components with significant changes in peak area were found.
CONCLUSION A rapid qualitative analysis method for the chemical components of Massa Medicata Fermentata is established. This study provides a theoretical basis for the quality evaluation index and the pharmacodynamic material basis of Massa Medicata Fermentata.
