Abstract
San-Huang-Xie-Xin-Tang (SHXXT), a traditional Chinese medicine formula composed of Coptidis rhizome (CR), Scutellariae radix (SR) and Rhei rhizome (RR), is widely used to treat hypertension, gastritis and peptic ulcer clinically. However, the chemical constituent of SHXXT is still unclear due to its complexity, which hindered the discovery of effective compounds and quality control. Thus, an in-depth understanding of its chemical constituents is very essential. To address this problem, comprehensive analysis of chemical constituents of SHXXT was performed by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS). As a result, 45 compounds were identified, including 8 phenolic acids, 15 flavonoids, 13 alkaloids, 8 anthraquinones and 1 lignan. Among them, 17 compounds were from CR, 17 compounds were from SR and 11 compounds were from RR. This established method can systematically and rapidly analyze the chemical constituents in SHXXT, which provides chemical foundation for further research on effective substances and action mechanism of SHXXT.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
