OBJECTIVE To identify the chemical constituents in flower of Fritillaria unibracteata P. K. Hsiao et K. C. Hsia (F-F, Chinese: Anzibeimu Hua) by employing ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS) for the optimal utilization of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don (Chinese: Chuanbeimu) resources. METHODS The separation was conducted on Thermo Hypersil GOLD aQ column (2.1 mm×150 mm, 1.9 μm) eluted with methanol-0.1% formic acid in a gradient mode at a flow rate of 0.3 mL·min-1, the column temperature was maintained at 35 ℃, and positive and negative electrospray ionization(ESI) was adopted for determine the chromatographic effluents. RESULTS Through comparison with reference standards, precise molecular weight determination from primary mass spectrometry, and analysis of fragmentation patterns from secondary mass spectrometry, combined with existing literature, 71 chemical constituents were identified in F-F. These identified compounds encompass 24 alkaloids, 12 flavonoids, 9 amino acids, and additional substances, including the notable detection of peimine and peiminine within F-F. CONCLUSION This study employs UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS technology to conduct an exhaustive analysis of the chemical composition of F-F. From the results, it can be seen that the F-F possess potential medicinal value. This study provides scientific basis for the rational development and sustainable utilization of its resources.
