Abstract
Rationale
Flavonoid C-glycosides have a wide range of pharmacological activities. However, there are few mass spectrometric research on C,O-disaccharide flavonoid C-glycosides and di-C,O-saccharide flavonoid C-glycosides. Their low-energy collision-induced dissociation (ESI-CID-MS/MS) fragmentation pattern and differences have not been reported, and the fragment ion library is incomplete. Therefore, it was essential to elucidate the fragmentation patterns of disaccharide flavonoid C-glycosides, which is described in this study.
Methods
Four disaccharide flavonoid C-glycosides such as vitexin-4″-O-glucoside were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS/MS) using electrospray ionization (ESI) in both positive and negative ion modes. Each ion and its proposed fragmentation pathways of the four disaccharide flavonoid C-glycosides were analyzed comprehensively. Finally, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) and the established fragmentation patterns have been used to identify disaccharide flavonoid C-glycosides in Odontosoria Chinensis.
Results
The fragmentation pathways of C,O-disaccharide flavonoid C-glycosides and di-C,O-saccharide flavonoid C-glycosides are similar. They both have the mass spectrometric characteristics of O-glycoside and C-glycoside. Product ions after mixed pathways of neutral fragments such as saccharide ring fragment, O-glycosides, H2O, and CH2O elimination appeared in both types of flavonoid C-glycosides, but their relative abundances are significantly different. According to the established fragmentation patterns, di-C,O-saccharide flavonoid glycosides were also found in Odontosoria chinensis.
Conclusion
The fragment ions at m/z 431, 413, 341, 311, 293, and 282 in negative ion mode and m/z 293, 282, 577, 559, 541, 523, 529, and 499 in positive ion mode can serves as the main characteristics for identifying C,O-disaccharide flavonoid C-glycosides and di-C,O-saccharide flavonoid C-glycosides.
期刊介绍:
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry is a journal whose aim is the rapid publication of original research results and ideas on all aspects of the science of gas-phase ions; it covers all the associated scientific disciplines. There is no formal limit on paper length ("rapid" is not synonymous with "brief"), but papers should be of a length that is commensurate with the importance and complexity of the results being reported. Contributions may be theoretical or practical in nature; they may deal with methods, techniques and applications, or with the interpretation of results; they may cover any area in science that depends directly on measurements made upon gaseous ions or that is associated with such measurements.
