Study on chemical constituents of Tiandan Tongluo Capsule based on UPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To clarify the chemical constituents of Tiandan Tongluo Capsule and establish a precise and effective identification method for the complex composition of TCM. Methods: This objective was achieved mainly depending on the information of the accurate mass and the multistage fragment ions obtained by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS), comparing the relative retention time and the mass spectrometric data of the standard substance and consulting the reference literature. Results: Forty compounds were identified in this study, including the phenoliacids, anthraquinones, flavones, phthalides, fatty acids, and the others. Conclusion: This study can identify various chemical constituents of Tiandan Tongluo Capsule systematically, accurately, and rapidly. Moreover, the scientific theory basis will be provided for the pharmacodyamic material basis and the quality control of this drug at the same time.
