  • 摘要: 本研究基于超高效液相色谱-静电场轨道阱高分辨质谱(UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS)及二维气相色谱-质谱(GC×GC-MS)分析八角茴香的化学成分。八角茴香甲醇提取物采用Waters BEH C18色谱柱(100 mm×2.1 mm,1.7 μm)分离,以0.1%甲酸水溶液-乙腈为流动相进行梯度洗脱;电喷雾离子源(ESI)正负离子模式下对色谱流出物进行质谱检测,根据化合物精确质量数、二级质谱信息及相关文献对主要色谱峰进行分析鉴定。八角茴香挥发性成分采用顶空固相微萃取进样,DB-Heavywax(30 m×250 μm,0.25 μm)与DB-17 MS(1.1 m×180 μm,0.18 μm)毛细管柱在程序升温下分离,电子电离(EI)源电离,质量扫描范围m/z 45~550。结合NIST标准谱库检索与文献信息, UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS和GC×GC-MS分别鉴定出八角茴香中108个(66个萜类、8 个苯丙素类、7 个烷烃、10个酯类、5个酮类、3个醇类及9个其他化合物)和45个(13个苯丙素类、8个酚酸类、18个黄酮类及6个其他化合物)化学成分。本研究对八角茴香化学成分进行了全面系统的定性分析,可为其药效物质基础、质量控制、药理作用机制等研究提供技术支持。

     

    Abstract: Anisi Stellati Fructus is the fruit of Illicium verum Hook. F. (Chinese star anise), which is a significant Chinese medicinal herb. It is reported to possess antimicrobial, antiviral, and antioxidant properties, and has also been documented to improve digestion and alleviate symptoms of dysentery, dyspepsia, asthma, flatulence, menstrual irregularities, colic, inflammation, bronchitis, and rheumatic diseases. At present, a variety of compounds have been isolated from Anisi Stellati Fructus. This study systematically investigated the chemical components of Anisi Stellati Fructus by a method of ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS) combined with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC×GC-MS). For the non-volatile constituents, the methanol extract of Anisi Stellati Fructus was separated prior to MS analysis using a Waters BEH C18 column (100 mm×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) with a gradient elution system consisting of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. Mass spectrometric detection was performed under both positive and negative electrospray ionization (ESI) modes, and the major chromatographic peaks were identified based on accurate mass measurements, secondary mass spectral fragmentation patterns, consulting literature reports, mass spectrometry databases, fragmentation regularities of mass spectra, retention time, as well as reference compounds. For the volatile components, headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was employed for sample introduction. The separation was achieved using a combination of DB-Heavywax (30 m×250 μm, 0.25 μm) and DB-17 MS (1.1 m×180 μm, 0.18 μm) capillary columns under temperature programming. Electron ionization (EI) was used for ionization, with a mass scanning range of m/z 45-550. The identification of volatile compounds was accomplished by combining NIST standard spectral library searches with information from published literatures. The results showed that UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS identifies 45 compounds, including 13 phenylpropanoids, 8 phenolic acids, 18 flavonoids, and 6 other compounds. Meanwhile, GC×GC-MS identifies 108 volatile components, which are categorized into 66 terpenoids, 8 phenylpropanoids, 7 alkanes, 10 esters, 5 ketones, 3 alcohols, and 9 other compounds. This comprehensive and systematic qualitative analysis of the chemical constituents of Anisi Stellati Fructus provides a solid foundation for further research on its pharmacodynamic material basis, quality control, and pharmacological mechanisms.
