To establish a rapid and high-throughput qualitative method for analysis of triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum by ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS).
Based on the advantages of UPLC-Q-TOF-MS with high separation efficiency and high resolution, the mass spectrometer detection conditions (including the ion detection mode, ion source temperature and collision energy) were optimized. The mass spectral fragmentation patterns and characteristic fragment ions of triterpenoids were summarized, and a standard spectral library of triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum was constructed. Meanwhile, sample spiking verification experiments were introduced. Combined with the retention time and accurate mass-to-charge ratio information of spiked samples, actual samples and reference standards, the rapid identification of triterpenoids was realized.
After optimization, the mass spectrometry detection was employed electrospray ionization in negative-ion mode, with an ion source temperature of 450 ℃, a voltage of –4500 V and a collision energy of 45 V. Combined with standard substance comparison and triterpenoid cleavage rules, a total of 32 kinds of triterpenoid components and 5 kinds of unknown triterpenoid components were identified.
This analytical method has excellent separation performance, high sensitivity and strong specificity. It enables rapid qualitative identification and preliminary structural elucidation of triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum. It is applicable to the chemical composition characterization and quality control of Ganoderma lucidum and also provides a methodological reference for further research of triterpenoid active substances.
