Analysis of medicine components from Compound Qingkailing in rat serum / 中成药

AIM: To establish methods for identifying the antetype of Compound Qingkailing(Calculus bovis,Concha margaritifera,Radix isatidis,Cornu bubali) in rat serum by HPLC-MS~n and HPLC-TOF-MS. METHODS: Addition of methanol to serum after Qingkailing given intravenously to rats was used to precipitate protein.The HPLC-TOF-MS provided the exact molecular weight and the HPLC-ESI-MS~n provided the m/z of multilevel fragment.The medicine antetypes were identified by combining the two methods. RESULTS: Four main medicine antetypes in rat serum,such as geniposide,baicalein,wogonoside and cholic acid,were identified. CONCLUSION: It is a rapid and exact method that can be used to identify other complicated traditional Chinese medicine in vivo.
