[Identification of liposoluble constituents in Yushu tablets by UPLC-ESI-IT-TOF/MS].

In order to identify the chemical constituents of Yushu tablets comprehensively, we studied the chemical constituents of CHCl3 extract from Yushu tablets by the ultra performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-ion trap-time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-IT-TOF/MS). It showed that there were more than 100 compounds separated, and forty-nine peaks among these were identified on the basis of high resolution mass spectrometry data and literature data reported. Determination of twelve peaks was further confirmed by standard substances. These components assigned to the different plant sources mainly included phenylpropanoids, triterpenoids, quinones and m-trihydroxybenzene compounds. By analyzing the chemical components of CHCl3 extract from compound Chinese medicine Yushu tablets comprehensively, this study provided the foundation for studying chemical components, pharmacodynamic substance and quality control of Yushu tablets.

[Study on the chemical constituents of Rumex patientia].

OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents of roots of Rumex patientia. METHODS: The compounds were separated and purified by silica column chromatopraphy, Sephadex LH-20 and identified by several spectroscopic methods. RESULTS: Seven constituents were identified as nepodin (1), nepodin-8-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), chrysophanol-8-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), emodin-6-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), emodin-8-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (5), 1, 3, 5-trihydroxy-7-methylanthraquinone (6), physcion-8-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (7), respectively. CONCLUSION: Compound 1 is isolated from this plant for the first time and compound 6 is isolated from Rumex L. for the first time.
