Liquid-chromatography coupled with electrospray-ion trap mass spectrometry was applied to the analysis of the eleutherosides B and E in the Eleutherococcus senticosus cortexes. The optimum ESI/MS results were obtained in the positive ion mode using extracted ion chromatogram targeting Na-adduct molecular ion of each compound. This method allowed rapid and simple gradient separation of underivatized eleutherosides B and E without pre-purification steps at very low concentration.

An HPLC/Esl/MS method has been developed to identify and quantify the spirostanol glycosides in the rhizomes of five Polygonatum species. The relative distribution of two steroidal saponins in each extract was established using the selective ion monitoring (SIM) mode via an electrospray ionization (ESI) source. It was found that there were significant differences in the amount of spirostanol glycosides among the Polygonatum Species. The results showed that this method could be used to identify the steroidal saponins in the extracts and differentiate Polygonatum species with high sensitivity and reproducibility in a short time. Fragmentation patterns of the two reference compounds were also discussed with the electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS$^n$).

The structures of molecular species of galactolipids, such as monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyl diacylglycerol (DGDG), isolated from wheat flour have been investigated using negative-ion electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry interfaced with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). According to the result of HPLC analysis, MGDG and DGDG were found to consist of mixtures of five and four molecular species, respectively. The galactolipids have been also analyzed to determine their fatty acid compositions, using HPLC/ESI-MS combined with in-source (or cone voltage) fragmentation. HPLC/ ESI-MS is very useful for one-step analysis of mixtures of galactolipids with a small sample quantity. Especially, the carboxylate anions produced in in-source fragmentations of the negative-ion of each component separated by HPLC provide valuable information on the composition of its fatty acyl chains.

This study employed high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to an on-line $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging detection (RSD) system along with HPLC-electro spin impact/mass spectrometry (ESI/MS), to rapidly determine and identify antioxidant compounds occurring in blueberry extract. The extract was separated by HPLC, and then the radical scavenging activities of the separated compounds were evaluated by the on-line coupled $ABTS^+$-RSD system. The negative peaks of the $ABTS^+$-RSD system, which indicates the presence of antioxidant activity, were monitored by measuring the decrease in absorbance at 734 nm. The active components in the blueberry extract were identified by HPLC-ESI/MS using their MS spectra and retention times. According to the data acquired from the on-line HPLC-$ABTS^+$-based assay and HPLC-ESI/MS systems, the antioxidant compounds detected in the blueberry extract were identified as chlorogenic acid and 11 anthocyanins.

퀘세틴은 양파에 있는 주요한 플라보노이드이고, 항산화제 역할을 한다. 양파에 있는 퀘세틴은 주로 배당체 형태로 존재한다. 흑양파는 습도 90%와 온도 $60^{\circ}C$ 조건 하에서 30일 동안의 숙성처리과정으로 만들어진다. 흑양파 제조과정 전후의 양파 속에 있는 퀘세틴과 퀘세틴 배당체들은 HPLC-ESI/MS/MS를 이용하여 분석되었다. 생양파 속에는 퀘세틴 단당체와 퀘세틴 이당체가 동정되었고, 반면에 흑양파 속에는 퀘세틴만이 존재하였다. 그러한 결과들은 생양파에 있는 퀘세틴 배당체(단당체와 이당체)들은 숙성과정 동안 해당과정이 일어난다는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 분석프로파일은 숙성과정 동안 발생되는 양파의 주요한 두 개의 퀘세틴 배당체들의 변화를 추정하는데 용이한 방법을 제공할 것이다.

The three major active isoflavonoids (calycosin-7-O-β -glucoside, isomucronulatol 7-O-β-glucoside, formononetin) and two main saponins (astragaloside I, astragaloside IV) in an extract of Radix Astragali were determined using rapid, sensitive, reliable HPLC/UV and LC-ESI-MS/MS methods. The separation conditions employed for HPLC/UV were optimized using a phenyl-hexyl column (4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm) with the gradient elution of acetonitrile and water as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and a detection wavelength of 230 nm. The specificity of the peaks was determined using a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source that was operated in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in the positive mode. These methods were fully validated with respect to the linearity, accuracy, precision, recovery and robustness. The HPLC/UV method was applied successfully to the quantification of three major isoflavonoids in the extract of Radix Astragali. The results indicate that the established HPLC/UV and LC-ESI-MS/MS methods are suitable for the quantitative analysis and quality control of multi-components in Radix Astragali.

Glycyrrhizin은 감초(Glycyrrhizae Radix)의 주성분으로써 항궤양, 항염증, 항알러지, 진해작용을 하는 것으로 알려져 있으며 glycyrrhetinic acid에 2당류가 연결된 매우 hydrophilic하고 분자량이 큰(mw=822.92) 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 on-line high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/electrospray ionization (ESI)- mass spectrometery (MS)를 이용하여 각종 glycyrrhizin 표준품들의 불순물들에 대한 구조 규명을 하였다. 사용한 HPLC column은 $C_{18}$($3.9{\times}300mm$, $10{\mu}m$)이었으며 이동상은 acetic acid/$H_2O$(1:15):acetonitrile=3:2를 0.8ml/min으로 흘려주었고 용출물을 post-column splitter를 사용하여 50:1로 split시켜서 ESI-MS에 주입하였다. ESI-MS는 negative mode이었으며 CapEx voltage는 100 V에서 각 불순물들의 분자량이 측정되었고 구조규명을 위하여 CapEx voltage를 80-300 V까지 변화시켜주는 CID (collision induced dissoclation) 기법을 사용함으로써 fragment를 얻을 수 있었고 이를 바탕으로 구조규명을 하였다. 주요 불순물의 구조는 glycyrrhetic acid moiety에 수산화기(-OH)가 붙은 형태와 glycyrrhetic acid moiety의 12번 위치에서 환원이 일어난 형태 이었다. 표준품의 순도는 약 90% 정도이었다.

먹는물(정수) 중에 잔류하는 버지니아마이신을 비롯한 macrolide 계열 의약물질 3종과 시메티딘을 동시에 정량 및 정성 분석하는 방법을 확립하였다. HLB 카트리지를 사용하여 분석물질을 추출/정제 및 농축한 후, HPLC/ESI-MS/MS를 이용하여 4종의 물질들을 효과적으로 분리하고 감도 좋게 검출할 수 있었다. 정량분석을 위해서 0.01~2.0 ng/mL 범위에서 $r^2$=0.995이상의 높은 직선성을 나타내는 검량선을 얻었으며, 시메티딘(37.7~48.1%)을 제외한 macrolide 계열 3종 의약물질은 64.7~118.1% 범위의 양호한 회수율을 나타내었다. 바탕 정수에 소량 첨가하여 얻은 분석방법의 검출한계와 정량한계는 각각 1.6~74.8 pg/mL 와 5.5~249.7 pg/mL 범위의 높은 감도를 나타내었다.

탄수화물 형태의 당뇨치료제인 acarbose 및 그 대사체를 LC/MS를 사용하는 간편하고 감도 좋은 분석방법을 개발하였다. 혈장시료를 주사기 필터로 거른후 다른 시료전처리과정 없이 LC/MS에 직접 주입하여 분석하였다. Acarbose에 대한 검정곡선은 $0.1{\sim}10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ 농도범위에서 $r^2=0.9963$의 선형성을 나타내었다. ${\alpha}$-Amylase와 ${\beta}$-amylase를 사용한 in vitro 배양 시험을 통해서 생성된 대사체 component-I과 component-II도 정성적으로 확인 가능하였다. 이러한 LC/MS 분석법은 acarbose의 약동력학적 연구는 물론이며 다른 탄수화물 형태 약물의 연구에도 활용이 가능할 것이다.

Methods : HPLC-ESI-MS/MS for the determinations of paeoniflorin and 5-HMF (5-hydroxymethyl 2-furaldehyde) in the Samul-tang, the separation method was performed on an COSMOS1L 5C18-AR-Il (2.0 X 150 mm I.D.) column by gradient elution with 0.1% acetic acid and 5% CH3CN in water (A)-0.1% acetic acid and 5% H20 in CH3CN (B) as the mobile phase at a flow-rate of 300 ${\mu}L/min$ with detection at quadrupole mass spectrometer. The all marker substances were always detected as the base peaks in the positive ion mode. Results : The paeoniflorin of Paeoniae Radix in Samul-tang showed a strong base peak [M+H2O]+ in the positive detection mode to give the following as; paeoniflorin (498.109 [M+H2O]+, 479.8 [M]+, 301 [M-glucose]+, 179.3 [glucose]+). Based on the HPLC retnetion time and MS of standard compounds confirmed the identity of active compounds in Rehmanniae Radix Preparata as follows; 5-HMF (127.0[M+H]+, 109.3 [M-OH]+) in the positive ion mode. Conclusion : According to the above results, HPLC-ESI-MS method permits assignment of tentative structures such as paeoniflorin and 5-HMF in the Samul-tang.
