基于UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MSn和分子网络技术快速鉴定灯盏细辛注射液的化学成分

Rapid Identification of Chemical Constituents in Erigeron breviscapus Injection Based on UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MSn and Molecular Network Technology

  • 摘要: 本研究建立了一种基于超高效液相色谱-线性离子阱/静电场轨道阱组合式高分辨质谱(UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS)技术及分子网络技术联合应用的快速分析方法鉴定灯盏细辛注射液的化学成分。采用UPLC BEH C18色谱柱(2.1 mm×50 mm×1.7 μm),以乙腈-0.1%甲酸水溶液为流动相进行梯度洗脱。在正、负离子模式下,采集LTQ-Orbitrap MS数据,根据MS/MS碎裂模式的相似性创建GNPS分子网络,运用Cytoscape 3.6.1软件筛选结构相似的分子簇。根据碎片结构的相似性,化合物被聚为咖啡酰酯衍生物和黄酮类2大类别。最后,根据保留时间、高分辨质谱精确分子质量和MSn碎片等信息鉴定灯盏细辛注射液的化学成分。通过对主要类别化合物进行鉴定,在灯盏细辛注射液中共快速筛查到84种化学成分,其中49种成分为首次鉴定。该方法可为灯盏细辛注射液的质量控制、药效学研究提供参考。

     

    Abstract: Erigeron breviscapus injection is widely used in clinical treatment of ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease. More than 80 chemical components have been identified from Erigeron breviscapus herb. However, chemical components of Erigeron breviscapus injection remain unclear. In this study, a rapid qualitative method of ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap/electrostatic field Orbitrap combined high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS) coupled with molecular network was established for identification of Erigeron breviscapus injection. UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm×50 mm×1.7 μm) was employed and the gradient elution was carried out with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution. According to the similarity of MS/MS fragmentation patterns, GNPS molecular network was established based on LTQ-Orbitrap MS data, which was collected in positive and negative ion modes, respectively. Molecules with similar structure were screened and clustered with Cytoscape 3.6.1 software. Components in Erigeron breviscapus injection were further identified based on information of retention time, molecular weight, and MSn multistage fragmentations. The result of GNPS molecular network displayed two major component communities of caffeinyl ester derivatives and flavonoids. Component community of caffeinyl ester derivatives was established based on seed nodes of chlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid, and erigoster B. Component community of flavonoids was established based on seed nodes of scutellarein and scutellarin. Eighty-four components, including mono-caffeoyl esters, di-caffeoyl esters, tri-caffeoyl esters and flavonoids, were identified in the major component communities of Erigeron breviscapus injection, of which 49 were identified in Erigeron breviscapus injection production for the first time. This study provides reference for quality control and pharmacodynamics research of Erigeron breviscapus injection.
