ABSTRACT
The mass spectrometry (MS) has been widely used for profiling chemical components of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, there are few studies reporting quality control of TCM based on mass spectrometry fingerprint (MSF) due to its complicated operation and high cost. The aim of this study was to extend the application of MSF for quality evaluation of TCM. In this study, an MSF based on single quadrupole mass spectrometry method was established, and was successfully used for the quality control of Venenum bufonis (VB), a famous TCM which was used clinically for cancer treatment in China. The results showed that the superiority of MSF for more chemical information exposure and the finding of more potential chemical markers (eight versus four) compared with the traditional photo-diode array (a kind of ultra violet detector, PDA). Besides, the performance of MSF was also validated by similarity and principle component analysis (PCA) of MS data acquired on two other mass spectrometry (low-resolution, triple quadrupole, QQQ, and high-resolution, quadruple time-of-flight, Q-TOF), showing high consistency with QQQ and Q-TOF, but robustness with few parameters' settings. Based on our study, MSF could be widely applied for the quality control of TCM.
