To investigate the composition differences between the fresh Donglingcao[Rabdosia rubescens(Hemsl.)Hara](FRH)and its two dry products(natural drying and vacuum freeze-drying).
Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole-Exactive Mass Spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-Exactive HF-X/MS)was used to collect MS data from Donglingcao[Rabdosia rubescens(Hemsl.)Hara] compounds in positive and negative ion modes. The components were identified and analyzed based on the online database,local standard product database and literature. Then,principal component analysis(PCA)and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA)were performed on the collected data through SIMCA software. The differential components between fresh and dried products were screened out based on variable importance in projection(VIP)and t-test. Finally,the relative quantitative analysis was carried out according to peak areas of differential components.
A total of 61 compounds were identified,comprising 31 diterpenoids,12 phenolic acids,9 flavonoids,4 triterpenes and 5 other compounds. PCA intuitively showed that the metabolic profile of FRH and its dry products were remarkably different. Thirty-two differential components with VIP>1 and P<0.05 were screened out through OPLS-DA. The contents of the main active ingredients in the FRH such as oridonin and ponicidin were significantly higher in comparison to those in the dry products.
In this study,UHPLC-Q-Exactive HF-X/MS combined with multivariate statistical analysis were employed to elucidate the differential components between FRH and its dry products,providing data reference for the rational development and application of Rabdosia rubescens(Hemsl.)Hara.
