Abstract
The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a complex system, which always consists of numerous compounds with significant difference in the content and physical and chemical properties. In this paper, a screening method based on target molecular weights was developed to characterize the flavonoid glycosides in the flower of Carthamus tinctorius L. The screening tables of aglycone and glycan were designed, respectively, in order to select and combine freely. The multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) scan mode with higher sensitivity and selectivity was adopted in the screening, which benefit the characterization for the minor components. Seventy-seven flavonoid glycosides were screened out finally, and their structures were characterized by tandem mass spectrometric method in both positive and negative ion modes. The glycosylation mode, aglycone, sequence and/or the interglycosidic linkages of the glycan portion and glycosylation position were elucidated by the fragmentation rule in the MS. Numerous compounds screened out with this method showed the structure variety in secondary plant metabolites, and the purposeful screening systemically and subsequent structure characterization offered more information about the chemical constitutions of TCM.
