[PMID: 38889584 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
In this study, the collision induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (CID-MS/MS) fragmentation pathway of chemical components in rhubarb was wholly explored using 34 standards by UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS in negative ion mode. In consequently, the diagnostic product ions for speedy screening and categorization of chemical components in rhubarb were ascertained based on their MS/MS splitting decomposition patterns and intensity analysis. According to these findings, a fresh two-step data mining strategy had set up. The initial key step involves the use of characteristic product ions and neutral loss to screen for different types of substituents and basic skeletons of compounds. The subsequent key step is to screen and classify different types of compounds based on their characteristic product ions. This method can be utilized for rapid research, classification, and identification of compounds in rhubarb. A total of 356 compounds were rapidly identified or tentatively characterized in three rhubarb species extracts, including 150 acylglucoside, 125 anthraquinone, 65 flavanols and 15 other compounds. This study manifests that the analytical strategy is feasible for the analysis of complex natural products in rhubarb.

Abstract
In this study, a method for the screening and identification of α-glucosidase inhibitors from natural products was developed. The α-glucosidase was immobilized on carboxyl terminated magnetic beads to form a ligand fishing system to screen the potential inhibitors. A total of 9 compounds were fishing out from the crude Houttuynia cordata Thunb. extract. Meanwhile, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF MS) was used for the identification of the chemical structures, including 3 chlorogenic acid isomers, 2 flavone C-glycosides and 4 flavone O-glycosides. The combination of enzyme immobilization magnetic beads and UHPLC-QTOF MS could be used for the screening of bioactive multi-components from herbs with appropriate targets. Taking the advantage of the specificity of enzyme binding and the convenience of magnetic separation, the method has great potential for rapid screening of α-glucosidase inhibitors from complicated natural product extracts.

Abstract
Duhaldea nervosa (Wallich ex Candolle) Anderberg has been widely used as medicine and food additive in China for a long history. Its roots, known as Xiaoheiyao, are the mainly used medicinal part, while the other tissues of D. nervosa are ignored as non-medicinal parts despite their high biomass, resulting in a huge waste of resources. To mine and expand the medicinal values of different parts of D. nervosa, metabolic analysis by GC/LC-MS and bioactivity evaluation were performed. Based on the antioxidant activity and correlation analysis, a metabolite-related network was constructed. A total of 45 volatile and 174 non-volatile compounds were identified. Among them, caffeoylquinic acids and derivatives were more abundant in roots and flowers, while coumaroyltartaric acids and derivatives were mainly present in stems and leaves. By multivariate analysis, 13 volatile and 37 non-volatile differential metabolites were found, respectively. In the bioactivity evaluation of different parts, the order of antioxidant capacity was flowers > roots > leaves or stems. The flowers showed the highest FRAP value (354.47 μM TE/g DW) and the lowest IC50 values in the DPPH (0.06 mg/mL) and ABTS (0.19 mg/mL) assay, while higher inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase was exhibited by flowers and leaves. This study first established the similarities and differences of phytochemicals and bioactivities in D. nervosa, providing a scientific basis for developing non-medicinal parts and guiding the clinical application of this medicinal and edible herb.

Abstract
Pulsatilla chinensis (P.chinensis) is a traditional Chinese medicine used for the treatment of intestinal amebiasis diseases, vaginal trichomoniasis and bacterial infections. Tritepenoid saponins were important components of P.chinensis. Therefore, we asssessmented expression profiling of triterpenoids in different fresh tissues of P.chinensis by ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QQQ-MS). Firstly, we identified 132 triterpenoids, including 119 triterpenoid saponins, 13 triterpenoid acids and forty seven of them were first determined in Pulsatilla genus, including new aglycones and new ways of rhamnose linking to the aglycone. Secondly, we established the analytical method to analysis triterpenoids content of P.chinensis and comprehensively verified the analytical method by linearity, precision, repeatability, stability and recovery. At last, we quantified 119 triterpenoids simultaneously based on UHPLC-QQQ-MS. The results show that the types and contents of triterpenoids had obvious tissue distribution. New components like rhamnose directly linked to the aglycone mainely distributed in aboveground tissues. Additionally, We identified 15 chemical ingredients as differential components between the aboveground and underground tissues of P.chinensis. This study provides an efficient analysis strategy for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of triterpenoids in P.chinensis even in other traditional Chinese medicines. At the same time, it provides important informations to explain the biosynthetic pathway of triterpenoid saponins in P.chinensis.

Abstract
Anise fruit (Aniseed) has been used for many years as a traditional medicine in various countries throughout the world; however, the chemical material basis of Aniseed water extract (AWE) has not been examined in detail, limiting our understanding of its pharmacological mechanism and methods for practical quality control. A high-efficiency and high-sensitivity LC-triple time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis method using data processing method combined with product ion and neutral loss filtering for systematic screening and identification of the constituents of AWE was established. A quantitative method was established by using LC-MS/MS with multiple reaction monitoring for 10 min to determine the concentration of 17 representative constituents. A total of 89 compounds were discovered in AWE, of which 31 were confirmed by the reference standards, while 24 were found in Aniseed for the first time. The qualification analysis results showed that chlorogenic acids and luteolin derivatives were the major compounds. The linearity, sensitivity, precision, stability, repeatability, and accuracy of the method were verified, which demonstrated that the method could meet the requirements for quantification. This work contributes to a better understanding of the chemical material basis of Aniseed and assists in the development of effective analytical methods for natural medicines.

Abstract
RATIONALE Gleditsiae spina (GS) is an important herb used in traditional and folk medicinal systems of East Asian countries for its various medicinal properties. In China, it has been traditionally used through the centuries for its anticancer, detoxication, detumescence, apocenosis, and antiparasitic effects. Although some of its ingredients have been isolated and identified, most active constituents remain unknown. Past research mostly exploited nuclear magnetic resonance for the identification of compounds, which is suitable for monomers only. Moreover, the extraction and isolation procedures for obtaining purified molecules are time consuming. Therefore, establishing an efficient approach will assist in rapid discovery of the potential active ingredients of GS. The present study aimed to identify the chemical constituents in GS by a data analysis strategy using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography combined with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry. METHODS First, the theoretical formula of the candidate compound was calculated using the accurate mass of the precursor/adduct ions. Second, the compounds were classified by the diagnostic ions from the MS/MS data. Third, characteristic ion filtering was used to identify the structures. Finally, the diverse skeletons and substitutions were further identified through the neutral loss in the GS. RESULTS A total of 277 compounds were identified in GS, comprising 169 flavonoids, 70 lignans, and 38 other compounds. At least 43 potential new compounds were represented. CONCLUSIONS This experiment devised an efficient and systematic method for detecting complex compounds and provided a foundation for future research into bioactive ingredients and quality control of GS.

Abstract
Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinskaja (LCP) leaves have been widely employed in food and traditional medicine for treating hyperlipidaemia and its complications, possibly owing to their antioxidant properties. The aim of the present study is to identify the chemical ingredients of antioxidant extracts from LCP by using UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS-based molecular networking, a very recent and useful tool for annotation of chemical constituents in mixtures. The extraction conditions of antioxidant extracts from LCP were optimised by single-factor analysis and response surface methodology (RSM). The optimised conditions were a methanol concentration of 32%, a liquid-to-solid ratio of 0.4 ml/mg, an extraction temperature of 25°C, and an extraction time of 32 min. Under these conditions, the antioxidant yield was 516.20 ± 28.52 μmol TE/ml. The main active ingredients in the antioxidants were identified by UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS-based molecular networking. In total, 42 compounds were identified, including 20 flavonoids, 16 quinic acid derivatives, 4 caffeoyl derivatives, and 2 coumaroyl derivatives. The findings of the present work suggest that LCP could be a suitable source of natural antioxidant compounds, which might be applicable in the development of potential pharmaceutical drugs targeting diseases related to oxidative stress.

Rapid Profiling of Metabolites Combined with Network Pharmacology to Explore the Potential Mechanism of Sanguisorba officinalis L. against Thrombocytopenia. Metabolites 2022; 12:1074. [PMID: 36355157 PMCID: PMC9693491 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12111074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 08/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Sanguisorba officinalis L. (SO), a well-known herbal medicine, has been proven to show effect against thrombocytopenia. However, metabolites of SO in vivo are still unclear, and the underlying mechanism of SO against thrombocytopenia from the aspect of metabolites have not been well elucidated. In this study, an improved analytical method combined with UHPLC-QTOF MS and a molecular network was developed for the rapid characterization of metabolites in vivo based on fragmentation patterns. Then, network pharmacology (NP) was used to elucidate the potential mechanism of SO against thrombocytopenia. As a result, a total of 1678 exogenous metabolites were detected in urine, feces, plasma, and bone marrow, in which 104 metabolites were tentatively characterized. These characterized metabolites that originated from plasma, urine, and feces were then imported to the NP analysis. The results showed that the metabolites from plasma, urine, and feces could be responsible for the pharmacological activity against thrombocytopenia by regulating the PI3K-Akt, MAPK, JAK-STAT, VEGF, chemokine, actin cytoskeleton, HIF-1, and pluripotency of stem cells. This study provides a rapid method for metabolite characterization and a new perspective of underlying mechanism study from the aspect of active metabolites in vivo.

Abstract
Mistletoe plants that are positioned on the canopy of their hosts are more susceptible to UV radiation exposure. These aerial plants are resistant to damage by UV radiation due the presence of epidermal constituents such as the cuticle, cork layer, trichomes and antioxidant secondary metabolites. In response to the photo-oxidative stress associated with UV exposure, plants generally deploy photo-protective responsive mechanisms that involve the biosynthesis of UV absorbing phenolic compounds such as chlorogenic acids (CGAs). The hydroxycinnamic acid moieties of these CGAs are predominantly in the trans configuration, naturally. However, excessive sunlight exposure of plants containing these compounds can result in geometrical isomerisation, characterized by the formation of cis isomers. Therefore, in this study, the effect of UV light radiation on the CGA composition of Viscum combreticola Engl. (Santalacaeae) plants using an in vitro model was unravelled through UHPLC-q-TOF-MS-based metabolic profiling. Interestingly, the findings of this study revealed that this plant has a diverse chemical composition of CGAs that is characterized by epimerization, monoacylation, homodiacylation and heterodiacylation of the quinic acid (QA), thereby, contributing to the state of readiness in these plants against sunlight or UV exposure. In addition to the commonly reported cinnamoyl containing heterodiacylated CGAs, hydroxybenzoyl containing heterodiacylated CGAs were also reported in this study. Moreover, cis isomers (24 in total) of some CGAs were identified in the non-irradiated samples and the formation of these compounds has been reported to help plants in the mitigation of photo-oxidative stress. An additional 28 cis isomers of CGAs and HCA derivatives were observed in the UV-irradiated samples, hence, further increasing the complexity of the metabolome of this plant, with a total of 108 compounds identified in this study. The presence of epimers, positional and geometrical isomers of these compounds could be a biochemical strategy to maximize the chemical arsenal of this plant to withstand the photo-oxidative stress posed by UV radiation from the sunlight. Due to purported pharmacological properties associated with the identified compounds these parasitic plants can be a rich source of prospective therapeutic compounds that can be employed as drug discovery leads. Moreover, UV radiation might be essential in future to produce potent drugs since plants naturally produce these compounds in low quantities.

Abstract
Using modern analytical techniques, a comprehensive study of the chemical composition of fruits from apple cultivars grown in Western Norway during 2019 and 2020 was done. Metals, sugars, organic acids, antioxidant tests, and polyphenol content have been observed. In all investigated samples, the most dominant sugars were glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Among 11 tested organic acids, the dominant was malic acid, followed by citric and maleic acid. The most common metal was potassium, followed by magnesium and zinc. The quantification of polyphenols showed that among the 11 quantified polyphenols, chlorogenic acid, quercetin 3-O-rhamnoside, quercetin 3-O-glucoside, quercetin, and phlorizin were the most abundant. A detailed study of the polyphenolic profile of nine investigated apple samples provided 30 identified polyphenolic compounds from the class of hydroxybenzoic and hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonoids, and dihydrochalcones. In addition to the identified 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid, its two isomers of 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid and three esters were also found. Present polyphenols of the tested apples provided significant data on the quality of Norwegian apples, and they contribute to the distinguishing of these apple samples.

Abstract
Tea flowers and fresh tea leaves are biological products of tea, but tea flower is often regarded as waste during tea production, resulting in notable waste of tea flower resources. At present, analysis of the chemical components in tea flowers focuses on single types of chemical components such as amino acids and tea polyphenols, and there are only a few reports on the simultaneous analysis of numerous chemical components in tea flowers. Researchers are not completely clear about the types and amounts of the chemical components in tea flowers; this has hindered the in-depth development and effective utilization of tea flowers. In this study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS) was used to detect the chemical constituents of tea flowers. This technique was combined with the integrated filtering strategy (IFS) of nitrogen rule filtering (NRF), mass defect filtering (MDF), and diagnostic fragment ion filtering (DFIF) for screening the characteristic mass spectra of the target chemical components. Furthermore, the chemical constituents of tea flowers were annotated with information about the retention time, MS fragmentation, and MS/MS fragmentation. All the qualitative chemical components were divided into six categories with a total of 137 chemical constituents, including 3 alkaloids, 38 flavonoids, 31 phenolic acids and their derivatives, 37 catechins and their derivatives, 18 amino acids, and 10 other components. The internal standard method was used to quantify all the qualitative chemical components. The quantitative results showed that the amounts of the six kinds of chemical components in tea flowers were as follows: amino acids, 9371.42 μg/g; catechins and their derivatives, 9068.43 μg/g; phenolic acids and their derivatives, 8696.92 μg/g; alkaloids, 4392.52 μg/g; flavonoids, 1192.88 μg/g; and others, 139.94 μg/g. Quality control samples were used to evaluate the stability of the instrument and the repeatability of the tested data. Nine representative chemical components with high, medium, and low contents in tea were selected, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the results was used to evaluate the repeatability of the data. These nine chemical constituents are selected from amino acids, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic acids and their derivatives, catechins and their derivatives, and other components, and the response intensities were different. The relative standard deviations of the nine chemical components were in the range of 2.11% to 12.17%. The above results demonstrated the good stability of the instrument and excellent repeatability of the test data. Chlorogenic acid components (CGAs) and glycosylated quercetin components (GQs) were used as two representative components to explain the entire process of extracting the target compounds by IFS. CGAs comprise a class of special esters formed by the esterification of cinnamic acid derivatives with quinic acid as the parent structure. The most common cinnamic acid derivatives are p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid. On the one hand, according to the above information and the different positions and degree of quinic acid esterification, the CGAs were structurally classified as monosubstituted CGAs (Mono-CGAs), disubstituted CGAs (Di-CGAs), and trisubstituted CGAs (Tri-CGAs), and three different mass defect filtering windows were set. Therefore, 751 possible target components were selected from 3537 mass spectra in accordance with the nitrogen rule. On the other hand, 22 target components in accordance with the nitrogen rule were obtained by further screening the m/z 191.0551 ion as the diagnostic fragment ion of the CGAs. Combining the overall analytical data with the above mass defect filtering and diagnostic fragment ion filtering screening results, nine target CGAs were selected and characterized based on the MS information. This study reveals the types and amounts of the chemical components accumulated in tea flowers, thus providing valuable information and serving as data reference for the in-depth development and effective utilization of tea flowers.

Abstract
RATIONALE Beta vulgaris L. has attracted increasing attention because of its broad application. The root of B. vulgaris L. (beetroot) possesses many excellent biological properties such as antianemic, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antipyretic, antibacterial, detoxicant, and diuretic. The chemical constituents of beetroot play a major role in the research on beetroot application and development. At present, no systematic identification study that focuses on the chemical constituents of beetroot has been reported. METHODS This study investigated a three-step strategy comprising phytochemical profiling, prototype profiling, and metabolism of its correlative metabolites in vivo using ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS). RESULTS UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS technique proved to be a rapid, sensitive, and reliable method for monitoring the specific ingredients as well as the whole chemical constituents in beetroot. In sum, 95 phytochemical compounds, 51 prototype compounds, and 37 derived metabolites in vivo were found in beetroot. CONCLUSIONS The main metabolic pathways were sulfonation, glucuronidation, methylation/sulfonation, and methylation. The present findings provided the phytochemical basis both in vitro and in vivo for future application.

Abstract
Inula cappa (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) DC has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat malaria, dysentery, and hepatitis. Previous studies have shown that chlorogenic acid is the effective ingredient of plants in this family. And the research of the chlorogenic acid in Inula cappa will help to further improve the effective resource utilization rate of this plant. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an accurate method to characterize the chlorogenic acid components in Inula cappa. In this study, a simple, fast, and sensitive UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry method was established, which can simultaneously analyze known and unknown ingredients in a short time (within 30 minutes) in Inula cappa. According to the diagnosis fragmentation ions, retention time, and bibliography, 68 chlorogenic acid derivatives were identified in Inula cappa. The results of this experiment lay the foundation for the active substances and quality control of Inula cappa and provide a theoretical basis for whether Inula cappa can be an alternative to the endangered wild medicinal materials of the same family.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, although Inula nervosa Wall is substantially investigated, little is understood about blossoms of Inula nervosa Wall (BINW). OBJECTIVE In this work, we systematically investigated the antioxidant activity of the extract from BINW by various standard assays including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical ability, 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) di-ammonium salt radical cation (ABTS), and ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP). METHODS Chemical compounds were tentatively identified through an UHPLC-QTOF-MS system. Furthermore, the contents of nine compounds were detected with UHPLC method coupled with photodiode array (PDA) detector. By carefully analyzing the quantitative data via clusters analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). RESULTS Forty-six compounds were tentatively identified, and our results showed that nine compound samples in 21 batches of BINW collected from different areas could be differentiated and analyzed by a heatmap visualization. In addition, the contents of nine compounds (flavonoids, phenolic acids) exhibited a total of higher amounts and better antioxidant activities from Yunnan than those from the other three origins. CONCLUSIONS Our study not only developed a powerful platform to explain the difference between traditional Chinese medicines species that are closely related through the chemometric and chemical profiling, but also presented a useful method to establish quality criteria of BINW with multiple origins. HIGHLIGHTS To characterize the BINW in detail, we not only performed DPPH, FRAP, and ABTS assays to investigate its antioxidant activity, but also established UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS- and UHPLC-PDA-based methods to comprehensively identify and qualitatively analyze its components.

Abstract
RATIONALE Ginger pulp is the dried rhizome scraped off the skin which originates from Zingiber officinale Rosc., a Zingiberaceae plant. Ginger peel is the dried rhizome skin of Zingiber officinale Rosc. (Zingiberaceae). The present work aims to investigate the different chemical constituents that are related to the medicinal properties of the ginger pulp and ginger peel. METHODS A rapid ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC/ESI-QTOF/MS) method was developed for qualitative analysis of the constituents in different polarity extracted fractions of the pulp and peel of ginger rhizomes. RESULTS A total of 83 compounds were identified from the pulp and peel of ginger rhizomes, including 36 diarylheptanoids, 25 gingerols and 22 other compounds. Nine of these were new compounds. In total, 46, 27, 65 and 51 compounds were identified from the crude extract, petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol fractions of the ginger pulp, respectively, and 60, 30, 70 and 62 compounds were identified from the crude extract, petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol fractions of the ginger peel, respectively. Each identified compound is marked on the corresponding chromatogram. CONCLUSIONS The integrated method is sensitive and reliable for searching the different chemical constituents from different polarity extracted fractions of the ginger pulp and ginger peel. This work may provide a significant contribution to research into the medicinal properties of the ginger pulp and ginger peel.

Abstract
Deep investigation, profiling of chemical diversity of constituent compounds and discovery of novel structures is a great challenge. A novel comprehensive and effective approach to mine trace unknown compounds combined with structure recognition in complex matrix is developed, in order to profiling potential Chlorogenic acids (CGAs) in Lonicera Flos (LFs): using multiple neutral loss/precursor ion (NL/PI) markers scans combined with high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The workflow included (i) Fragmentation rules deduced by Q-orbitrap and selection of multiple NL/PI markers. (ii) Multiple NL/PI marker scans and grouping of peaks that had responses on two or more channels. (iii) Alignment of peaks in Full-MS scan and multiple NL/PI scans. (iv) The precursor ions list was introduced to mine novel CGAs according to simulated molecular formula. (v) Identification and structure recognition with the aid of HRMS. The procedure proved to be valid to screen and identify 51 CGAs from Lonicera Flos (LFs) with 16 categories, especially dihydroxyphenyl and glucoside for the first time. Its application could also be extended for global profiling of other complicated chemical systems, such as Chinese medicinal formulas.

Abstract
RATIONALE Eomecon chionantha Hance (ECH), a traditional folk herb, is commonly used to treat traumatic injuries based on its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Previous studies have reported that alkaloids are the major bioactive components in ECH. Therefore, identification of alkaloids from ECH contributes to the discovery of its potential active ingredients and quality control in clinic treatments. METHODS A four-step screening strategy was performed as follows. (1) Extracting the accurate masses of ions related to different molecules. (2) Screening different types of compounds using their molecular cations, protonated molecules, diagnostic product ions and fragmentation pathways. (3) Comparing the characteristic product ion formulae to obtain the type and number of substituents. (4) Using the biosynthetic pathways of isoquinoline alkaloids to determine the concentration of alkaloids. RESULTS Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC/Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS) analysis combined with the four-step screening strategy was used to profile the alkaloids in ECH. The structures of 95 alkaloids in ECH were unambiguously identified or reasonably assigned, of which 76 were reported in ECH for the first time. Six types of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids were identified in ECH: six benzyltetrahydroisoquinolines, nine protopines, five N-methyltetrahydroprotoberberines, six protoberberines, eight benzophenanthridines and sixty-one dihydrobenzophenanthridines. CONCLUSIONS This comprehensive study identified the alkaloids in ECH, thus providing a practical reference for further research. The UHPLC/Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS method, combined with the four-step screening strategy, which was developed and successfully applied to identify the alkaloids in ECH, may also be applicable for the efficient screening of other herbal medicines.

Abstract
Eucommiae Cortex is commonly used for treating various diseases in a form of the crude and salt-fired products. Generally, it is empirical to distinguish the difference between two types of Eucommiae Cortex. The metabolomics coupled with chemometrics strategy was proposed to filter the combinatorial discriminatory quality markers for precise distinction and further quality control of the crude and salt-fired Eucommiae Cortex. The metabolomics data of multiple batches of Eucommiae Cortex samples was obtained by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS). Orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis was utilized to filter candidate markers for characterizing the obvious difference of the crude and salt-fired Eucommiae Cortex. The accuracy of combinatorial markers was validated by random forest and partial least squares regression. Finally, eleven combinatorial discriminatory quality markers from 67 identified compounds were rapidly screened, identified, and determined for distinguishing the difference between crude and salt-fired Eucommiae Cortex. It was demonstrated that UHPLC-MS based metabolomics with chemometrics was a powerful strategy to screen the combinatorial discriminatory quality markers for distinguishing the crude and salt-fired Eucommiae Cortex and to provide the reference for precise quality control of Eucommiae Cortex.

Abstract
Coffee silverskin (CS), the main by-product in the coffee industry, contains a vast number of human health-related compounds, which may justify its exploitation as a functional food ingredient. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the polyphenolic and alkaloid profile through UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS analysis. The bioaccessibility of total phenolic compounds and changes in the antioxidant activity during an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion were also evaluated through spectrophotometric tests (TPC by Folin-Ciocalteu, ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP), to elucidate their efficacy for future applications in the nutraceutical industry. Caffeoylquinic and feruloylquinic acids were the most representative polyphenols, with a mean concentration of 5.93 and 4.25 mg/g, respectively. Results showed a high content of caffeine in the analyzed CS extracts, with a mean value of 31.2 mg/g, meaning a two-fold increase when compared to coffee brews. Our findings highlighted that both the bioaccessibility and antioxidant activity of CS polyphenols significantly increased in each in vitro gastrointestinal digestion stage. In addition, the colon stage might constitute the main biological site of action of these antioxidant compounds. These results suggest that in vivo, the dietary polyphenols from CS might be metabolized by human colonic microflora, generating metabolites with a greater antioxidant activity, increasing their well-known beneficial effects.

Abstract
High performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-QTOF-MS) is widely used to qualitatively characterize the chemical profiles of herbal medicines, in which the generated adducts and fragments are crucial for confirming molecular ion (deprotonated/protonated ion) and deducing structure of detected components. However, how chromatographic and mass spectrometric (LC-MS) conditions/parameters affect the quantity and intensity of adducts and fragments of detected components is scarcely concerned. In present study, three types of triterpene saponins from the root of Ilex asprella (RIA) were selected as a case study to systematically investigate the effects of LC/MS conditions/parameters on their ionization and fragmentation, so as to obtain higher intensity (higher detection sensitivity) and quantity (rich information) of adducts and fragments for the characterization of components in RIA. It was found that for LC conditions, methanol as organic phase was more benefit for generating more adducts with higher intensity; formic acid as a modifier suppressed the formation of [M-2H]2-, thus promoted the generation of other types of adducts at lower concentration but inhibited the generation when the concentration exceeded 0.1%. MS parameters affect scarcely the quantity but mainly intensity of adducts, cone voltage, source temperature and desolvation gas flow have relatively higher impacts when compared with other parameters. Collision energy affected both quantity and intensity of fragments. MS parameters at the medium value largely increased the quantity and intensity of adducts and fragments. Three-types of triterpene saponins presented structurally specific ionization and fragmentation due to their amounts of acidic substitutes. A total of 55 components were detected and definitely or tentatively identified in RIA under the optimized LC-MS conditions, among which 35 triterpene saponins were firstly discovered. This is the first report that proposes and validates a systematic approach for assessing the effects of LC/MS conditions/parameters on the ionization and fragmentation of analytes, which could be helpful for the optimization of LC-MS conditions for effective chemical profiling analysis of herbal medicines.

Flavonoid aglycone-oriented data-mining in high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry: efficient and targeted profiling of flavonoids in Scutellaria barbata. Anal Bioanal Chem 2019; 412:321-333. [PMID: 31786643 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-019-02238-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2019] [Revised: 10/18/2019] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-QTOF-MS/MS) technique is a powerful tool for compound identification in complex natural products. However, untargeted MS/MS data analysis needs skillful experience and sometimes neglects minor compounds, which are co-eluted with major ones or overshadowed by the matrix. Flavonoids are the main bioactive components in Scutellaria barbata, and the total flavonoid content is 47.02 ± 3.23 mg QE/g DW. Although some flavonoid aglycones and their O-glycosides have been found in S. barbata, comprehensive profiling of flavonoids is unknown. Therefore, we report a flavonoid aglycone-oriented data-mining strategy for efficient and targeted profiling of flavonoids in S. barbata. The strategy includes four steps: (1) HPLC-QTOF-MS analysis of S. barbata; (2) construction of a flavonoid aglycone-based database according to biosynthetic pathway analysis and reported data; (3) extraction of through flavonoid aglycone-based ion chromatography; (4) identification of targeted flavonoids by MS/MS analysis. As a result, 45 flavonoids, including 24 flavones, 1 flavonol, 13 flavanones, and 7 flavanonols, were unambiguously or tentatively identified, while 20 of them were reported in S. barbata for the first time. Moreover, 14 available flavonoids were sensitively, precisely, and accurately determined by standard calibration curves, with limit of detection at 0.06 to 1.55 μg/g, limit of quantification at 0.16 to 3.70 μg/g, relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 9.0% for intra- and inter-day variations, and recovery at 92.6-108.1%. The matrix did not obviously suppress or enhance the ionization of 14 flavonoids, and finally their contents ranging from 0.04 to 4.49 mg/g in S. barbata were successfully achieved. Collectively, our results demonstrate that an efficient, reliable, and valuable strategy has been provided to rapidly and sensitively screen, profile, and quantify chemical components of complex natural products.

Abstract
RATIONALE Akebiae Fructus (AF) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with antiphlogistic, analgesic, antineoplastic, diuretic, antirheumatic, antidepressant and antiobesity activities. Identification of chemical constituents from AF is helpful to discover the potential active ingredients and to control its quality. METHODS The four-step filtering strategy was as follows: (1) To extract the accurate mass by the different adduct ions. (2) To screen different types of the compounds using diagnostic ions. (3) By characteristic ion filtering, to confirm the substituted position and the sugar chain numbers. (4) Based on the neutral loss (NL), to identify the type of monosaccharide and the compositions of sugar chains of triterpenoid saponins and the structure of CGAs. RESULTS A total of 94 compounds (85 triterpenoid saponins, 9 chlorogenic acids) were unambiguously or reasonably identified. Fifty constituents were discovered for the first time from AF. Nine types of triterpenoid saponins, including akebonoic acid (type I), norhederagenin (type II), oleanolic acid (type III), 2α,3β-dihydroxy-23-oxo-30-norolean-12,20(21)-dien-28-oic acid (type IV), gypsogenin (type V), norarjunolic acid (type VI), hederagenin (type VII), 2α,3β-dihydroxy-23-oxo-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (type VIII), arjunolic acid (type IX), and two types of chlorogenic acid (mono-CQA and di-CQA), were identified in AF. CONCLUSIONS An ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry with MSE (UPLC-QTOF-MSE ) analysis with four-step filtering strategy was established and successfully applied to identify the chemical constituents of AF which can provide chemical support for further research and play an important role in the quality control of AF.

Trace determination and characterization of ginsenosides in rat plasma through magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction based on core-shell polydopamine-coated magnetic nanoparticles. J Pharm Anal 2019; 10:86-95. [PMID: 32123603 PMCID: PMC7037655 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpha.2019.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2019] [Revised: 09/02/2019] [Accepted: 09/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Enrichment of trace bioactive constituents and metabolites from complex biological samples is challenging. This study presented a one-pot synthesis of magnetic polydopamine nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2@PDA NPs) with multiple recognition sites for the magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction (MDSPE) of ginsenosides from rat plasma treated with white ginseng. The extracted ginsenosides were characterized by combining an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a high-resolution mass spectrometry with supplemental UNIFI libraries. Response surface methodology was statistically used to optimize the extraction procedure of the ginsenosides. The reusability of Fe3O4@SiO2@PDA NPs was also examined and the results showed that the recovery rate exceeded 80% after recycling 6 times. Furthermore, the proposed method showed greater enrichment efficiency and could rapidly determine and characterize 23 ginsenoside prototypes and metabolites from plasma. In comparison, conventional methanol method can only detect 8 ginsenosides from the same plasma samples. The proposed approach can provide methodological reference for the trace determination and characterization of different bioactive ingredients and metabolites of traditional Chinese medicines and food. The Fe3O4@SiO2@PDA NPs were synthesized through one-pot method. The RSM was designed to promote the extraction of trace active ingredients. The MDSPE, UPLC-MS and UNIFI software were integrated into an analytical platform. The synergetic strategy was applied to enrich ginsenosides from rat plasma. The synergetic strategy provided an easy, rapid and sensitive method for analytes.

Abstract
The compound Dan Zhi Tablet (DZT), a reputable traditional Chinese medicine prescription, is widely used for the treatment of ischemic stroke in clinic. However, its systematic chemical constituents have rarely been elucidated, which hampers its quality evaluation, the study of bioactive constituents and the mechanism of action interpretation. In this study, we developed a combination of multidimensional data acquisition and data processing strategy with the aim to globally and comprehensively identify the chemical constituents in DZT based on UPLC-TWIMS-QTOFMS. First, multidimensional acquisition modes (MSE, Fast DDA and HDMSE) were performed on UPLC-TWIMS-QTOFMS. Second, targeted characterizations of the known compounds and their analogues present in DZT were carried out on the basis of the corresponding commercial standards or Mass2Motifs. Third, untargeted identification of unknown compounds in DZT was performed by extracting shared Mass2Motifs from the raw fragmentation spectra. Finally, the coeluting isomers were characterized using a precursor and/or product ion mobility. Consequently, 202 compounds were detected from DZT: 29 of them were unambiguously identified by comparison with reference compounds, 29 unknown compounds were discovered in specific medicinal materials, and ten pairs of coeluting isomers, which could not be distinguished using conventional MSE or Fast-DDA, were resolved using HDMSE only. This strategy was successfully used for the rapid and global identification of complex compounds including known, unknown and coeluting isomeric compounds in DZT and provided helpful chemical information for further quality control, pharmacology and active mechanism research on DZT.

Abstract
RATIONALE In medicine and drug development, molecular modelling is an important tool. It is attractive to develop a platform connecting the theoretical structural modelling and the results from experimental measurement. In addition, the separation and structural analysis of bioactive constituent isomers are still challenging tasks. METHODS Drift tube ion mobility (IM) mass spectrometry (MS) provides the experimental collision cross section (CCS) which contains the structural information. The experimental CCS can be compared with the calculated CCS of the molecular modelling structures. This technique is especially useful for bioactive constituents in herbal medicine because active isomers with the same chemical formula are common in these samples. IM helps separate and identify these isomers and reveals details about their structures and conformations. RESULTS Two model bioactive constituents, caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs) and dicaffeoylquinic acids (di-CQAs), were selected to systematically investigate the influence of solution, ion source conditions and ion heating on the isomer CCS distributions. By comparing the calculated CCS with the experimental value, we identified the favorable conformations of CQAs. The most compact conformation of a CQA was less likely to isomerize than the more extended conformation. It was found that the isomerization tendency was in accord with the conformation favorability. CONCLUSIONS This study offers an effective approach to predict and demystify the conformation and isomerization of the active constituents in herbal medicines.

Abstract
The study of in vivo pharmacodynamic constituents (PCs) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is important for providing new clues for TCM applications in clinical therapies in modern medicine. However, detecting and identifying PCs from complex biological samples remain a challenge. In this study, a practical and novel stepwise targeted matching and longitudinal analysis strategy from in vitro to in vivo was developed. This strategy combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was applied to quickly discover PCs in TCM. This approach was developed based on a core perception that all drugs taken orally might be transformed progressively and orderly from the intestinal tract, liver, and blood to the target organ. Based on this core perception, stepwise targeted matching was orderly and efficiently accomplished by multiple screening processes that were based on a stepwise enriched in-house library. Ginseng (Panax ginseng) was set as the example of herbal medicine for validating the reliability and availability of this approach. By applying this novel strategy to the stepwise screening of metabolites, we successfully identified 113 metabolites, among which 59 compounds were defined as prototypes. Based on the in vivo metabolites, network pharmacology analysis was applied to screen the PCs of ginseng and clarified the action mechanism of ginseng for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A total of 27 herbal constituents and 64 related targets shared commonly by compounds and AD were integrated via target network pharmacology analysis. These results demonstrated that this original approach will greatly improve high-throughput screening of metabolites and PCs on AD. It also can explicate the mechanism of action of TCM. Furthermore, this strategy is practicable to identify metabolites and screen PCs in other herbal medicines.

A total of 45 compounds were observed, including 20 chlorogenic acids, 23 flavonoids and 2 lignans. 23 of them are reported for the first time including 6-O-caffeoyl-β-glucose, 3-O-(4′-O-Caffeoylglucosyl) quinic acid, etc. Their structures were established by retention behavior, extensive analyses of their MS spectra and further determined by comparison of their MS data with those reported in the literature. As chlorogenic acids and flavonoids are phenolic compounds that are predominant in Semen Cuscutae, in conclusion, phenolic compounds are the major constituents of Semen Cuscutae.

Abstract
Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS) has been used as a powerful tool to profile chemicals in traditional Chinese medicines. However, identification of potentially bioactive compounds is still a challenging work because of the large amount of information contained in the raw UPLC-HRMS data. Especially the ubiquitous matrix interference makes it more difficult to characterize the minor components. Therefore, rapid recognition and efficient extraction of the corresponding parent ions is critically important for identifying the attractive compounds in complex samples. Herein, we propose an integrated filtering strategy to remove un-related or interference MS1 ions from the raw UPLC-HRMS data, which helps to retain the MS features of the target components and expose the compounds of interest as effective as possible. The proposed strategy is based on the use of a combination of different filtering methods, including nitrogen rule, mass defect, and neutral loss/diagnostic fragment ions filtering. The strategy was validated by rapid screening and identification of 16 methoxylated flavonoids and 55 chlorogenic acids analogues from the raw UPLC-HRMS dataset of Folium Artemisiae Argyi. Particularly, successful detection of several minor components indicated that the integrated strategy has obvious advantages over individual filtering methods, and it can be used as a promising method for screening and identifying compounds from complex samples, such as herbal medicines.
