Abstract
- The chemical composition of Drynaria fortunei, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, is very complicated. In order to separate these chemicals to obtain their structural information, an orthogonal sample enrichment procedure was established. The ethyl acetate extract of D. fortunei was preseparated by Sephadex LH-20 x polyamide columns to yield 15 fractions. These fractions were analyzed successively using a reversed-phase Agilent Zorbax SB-C<subscript>18</subscript> column, coupled with diode array detection and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The method reduced co-elution and enriched minor compounds on the basis of their chemical features. A total of 369 compounds were detected by LC/MS<superscript>n</superscript>, compared to less than 50 compounds without pre-separation. The pretreatment facilitated the analytical separation of flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, triterpenoids, phenolic acids, and lignans in D. fortunei, and allowed a comprehensive chemical profiling of these constituents. This method could be applied to other multicomponent herbal extracts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
