HPLC-ESI-MS和FTIR方法鉴别不同产地中药肉苁蓉的研究

采用HPLC-ESI-MS和傅里叶红外光谱法对五种不同产地中药肉苁蓉进行了分析,采用HPLC-ESI-MS检测了中药肉苁蓉中荒漠肉苁蓉苷A、松果菊苷、毛蕊花糖苷、异毛蕊花糖苷、2’-乙酰基毛蕊花糖苷、荒漠肉苁蓉苷C、管花苷B七种有效成分的含量。采用傅里叶红外光谱法,以五种药用植物样品的红外指纹图谱为依据,计算出所测样品的共有峰率和变异峰率。建立了五种药用植物的共有峰率和变异峰率双指标序列。结果显示两种方法对药材评价结果基本一致。采用傅里叶变换红外光谱法亦可区分肉苁蓉的常见伪品锁阳。HPLC-ESI-MS具有高通量、高灵敏度、分析快速等优点,可以通过主要化学成分含量的测定对肉苁蓉进行质量评价。傅里叶红外光谱法可以对样品进行无损处理,不需要对药材进行复杂的提取分离过程即可获得肉苁蓉红外光谱特征,其光谱的吸收峰强度与峰形是各种官能团互相作用的结果,是肉苁蓉多组分红外光谱的叠加。我们能从整体水平分析谱图特征峰,具有分析速度快,重现性好,非破坏性和样品量小,制样简单,专属性强,节约成本,保护环境等优点,符合中药向综合分析和整体分析的发展趋势。HPLC-ESI-MS和傅里叶红外光谱法联合应用,两种方法互为补充,为鉴别中药的真伪,探讨中药质量评价提供了一种新方法。     

Analysis of sialyl oligosaccharides by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation-mass spectrometry with differentiation of alpha2-3 and alpha2-6 sialyl linkages

A method for analysing sialyl oligosaccharides from bovine colostrum using high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) is described. Under positive ionisation mode, mass spectra of alpha2-3 and alpha2-6 linkages were different, and the former produced a prominent B2 (or B3 in disialyl lactose) mass fragment. This fragment was absent from mass spectra with alpha2-6 linkages. Two sialyl oligosaccharides, which have not been reported previously, were tentatively identified. One comprises a N-acetyl neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), two hexoses (Hex), and one N-acetyl hexosamine (HexNAc) residue ((Neu5Ac)1 (Hex)2 (HexNAc)1), and the other comprises one Neu5Ac and one Hex residue ((Neu5Ac)1(Hex)1).     

A study of the analytical behaviour of selected psycho-active drugs using liquid chromatography, ion trap mass spectrometry, gas chromatography and polarography and the construction of an appropriate database for drug characterisation

This paper provides analytical chemical information on a range of psycho-active drugs. This analytical chemical information on liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS), ion trap mass spectrometry (ESI-MSⁿ), gas chromatography-flame ionisation detection (GLC-FID) and polarographic behaviour is then incorporated into a database which is of use in drug characterisation. Application is found in the determination of selected drug compounds in hair samples.     

HPLC-ESI-MS Analysis of Flavonoids Obtained from Tissue Culture of Dracaena cambodiana

Dragon's blood is a traditional medicine and used in many countries with different cultures because of its various therapeutic properties. The main bioactive constituents of dragon's blood are flavonoids, which exhibit va-rious pharmaceutical activities, such as haemostatic, analgesic, anticoagulant, and antimicrobial activities and so on, and have attracted the attention of researchers on the development of new drugs. However, the formation process of dragon's blood in nature is very slow, which cannot meet the demand of pharmaceutical uses. Dracaena cambodiana (D. cambodiana) is one of the resource plants of dragon's blood. During the course of tissue culture of D. cambodiana, 6-benzylaminopurine was added in the medium, then red secretion was discovered in the cultured medium. Twelve compounds(1―12), including 11 flavonoids, were determined via the analysis of constituents of the cultured medium by high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry(HPLC-ESI-MS) and the results were compared with that of the standards isolated from dragon's blood. Among compounds 1―12, 4,4'-dihydroxy-2-methoxydihydrochalcone(5), 4,4'-dihydroxy-2,6-dimethoxydihydrochalcone(6) and (2S)-7,3'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavane(9) were major compounds of the red secretion, with contents of 15.70, 7.10 and 57.23 mg/L, respectively. Therefore, it is promising that flavonoids from dragon's blood can be obtained from the tissue culture of its resource plants for the purpose of drug development.     

Studies on Intestinal Transport of Ginsenoside Compatibility with Veratrum nigrum via Caco-2 Cell Monolayer Model Coupled with UPLC-ESI-MS Method

The Caco-2 cells have been recognized as effective tools to be applied to imitating the drug absorption in human intestine for the transport of drug. Herein, Caco-2 cell monolayer model was used to study the transport of the ginsenoside compatibility with Veratrum nigrum in different proportions. A specific high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry(HPLC-ESI-MS) method was developed for the semiquantitative determination of ginsenoside in intestinal transport with Dioscin as an internal standard. For the Caco-2 model constructed, two influencing factors were investigated, including time and concentration. The results suggest that the absorption of ginsenoside Re, Rg1, Rb1, Rc, Rb2 and Rd are time- and concentration-dependent and the excretions of Rb1, Rc, Rb2 and Rd have a relatronship with some transport proteins. The bioavailability of the ginsenosides has reduced compared to the single Panax ginseng extract when compatibility with a certain amount of Veratrum nigrum.     

Rhamnus pallasii subsp. sintenisii fruit,leaf, bark and root: Phytochemical profiles and biological activities

The genus Rhamnus has received a lot of interest as a source of phenolic chemicals. There have been no reports on the phytochemicals and biological activities of R. pallasii subsp. sintenisii various morphological components (fruit, leaf, bark, and root) in Iran to yet. Two crude ether petroleum (EP) and hydro-methanolic (HM) extracts were obtained from the separate parts. The antioxidant and antibacterial capabilities of the extracts, as well as their phytochemical screening (total phenolic, flavonoid, phenolic acid, and anthocyanin concentrations), were measured. Furthermore, the phytochemical profiles of EP and HM extracts were determined using GC–MS and LC-ESI–MS, respectively. LC-ESI-MS detected 59 chemicals in HM extracts, including flavonoids (62.71 %), phenolic acids (10.16 %), and anthraquinones (16.94 %). Furthermore, the predominant group components in EP extracts examined by GC–MS were fatty acids (58.82%), phenolic compounds (49.28%), and hydrocarbons (35.15 to 59.45 %). In terms of biological testing (DPPH radical scavenging and anti-bacterial activity), all examined extracts, particularly the fruit, had the highest activities in both assays (IC₅₀: 7.52 to 22.39 µg/ml and MIC: 0.39 to 3.12 mg/ml), owing to their high phenolic content. As a result, individual morphological elements of the species might be thought of as natural antioxidant and antibacterial agents.     

Presence of virgin olive oil phenolic metabolites in human low density lipoprotein fraction: determination by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

The biological benefits of olive oil in preventing the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) would seem to be linked to its high monounsaturated fatty acid contents, but also to its respective phenolic compounds contents. One prerequisite to assess the in vivo physiological significance of phenolic compounds is to determine their presence in human LDL following the ingestion of virgin olive oil.In this work, olive oil phenolic metabolites were identified using high-performance liquid chromatography in tandem with electrospray mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) detection, after solid phase extraction (SPE). Quantitative methods were developed in carrying out linearity, precision, sensitivity and recovery tests. The results from two methods of LDL separation were compared and shorter LDL isolation procedure showed a better recovery for antioxidants compounds in LDL. The metabolites identified in LDL were: hydroxytyrosol monoglucuronide, hydroxytyrosol monosulfate, tyrosol glucuronide, tyrosol sulfate and homovanillic acid sulfate. The fact that olive oil phenolic metabolites are able to bind LDL strengthens claims that these compounds act as in vivo antioxidants.
