Abstract:

Objective： To analyze and identify the chemical constituents in Xinmaishuyihao oral solution by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）.Methods： The Chromatographic separation was performed using an ACQUITY UPLC-BEH C18 column （2.1 mm × 100 mm， 1.8 μm） and the gradient elution mobile phase was 0.1% acetonitrile （A）-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution （B）. The flow rate was 0.4 mL·min-1， the temperature of column was maintained at 40 ℃ and the injection volume was 2 μL. The Q-TOF-MS and electrospray ionization （ESI） source was applied for the qualitative analysis under the negative ion modes and the full mass scan range of m/z 50-1700. The capillary voltage was 3500 V. The atomizer pressure was 40 psi. The atomization temperature was 600 ℃. The cracking voltage was 135 V. The cone hole voltage was 65 V. The drying gas temperature was 300 ℃， and the drying gas flow rate was 8 L·min-1. Through systematic testing， information such as the liquid chromatography retention time， precise molecular mass of quasi molecular ion peaks， and secondary fragment ions of the compounds was obtained using Qualitative Analysis 10.0 software. At the same time， the compounds were identified and analyzed by combining relevant literature reports， mass spectrometry fragmentation patterns， and information from databases such as ChemSpider， MassBank， and PubChem. Classify each compound based on information from CNKI、TCMSP、TTD、the Huayuan website、SCI-HUB database and relevant literature.Results： The preparation was qualitatively analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS， and a total of 21 chemical constituents were identified from the 32 compounds analyzed. These include 7 organic acids， 6 phenolic acids， 2 flavonoids， 1 aliphatic polyester， 1 phenolic glycoside， 1 monoterpene glycoside， 1 diester， 1 ethyl ester， and 1 terpenoid. At the same time， various chemical components were classified， including 9 from Salvia miltiorrhiza， 5 from Paeonia radix alba， 3 from Schisandra chinensis fructus， 2 from Pseudostellariae radix， 1 from Ophiopogonis radix， 2 from Ziziphi spinosae semen， 1 from Angelica sinensis radix， and 2 from Poria cocos.Conclusion： This method can rapidly and accurately identify and analyze the chemical constituents in Xinmaishuyihao oral solution， providing experimental basis for the material basis and quality control research of this preparation.
