A rapid ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with crossover triple quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC- ESI -QTOF-MS/MS) method has been developed for the identification of debasement products. According to the distinctive fragmentation patterns, the presence of 79 compounds with retention time between 1.05 to 26.81 minutes was found. In Canthium coromandelicum stem, 22 amino acids, 10 fatty acids, 6 alkaloids, 6 steroids, 2 flavonoids, 2 terpenoids, 2 phenolic, 4 lipids, 3 anthraquinone glycosides, sugars, vitamins were distinguished. These outcomes demonstrated that the contemporary technique has been utilized for quality control of Canthium coromandelicum, exceptionally for recognizable proof, verification and portrayal in medication arrangements.

Aurantii fructus (AF) is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been used to improve gastrointestinal motility disorders for over a thousand years, but there is no exhaustive identification of the basic chemical components and comprehensive quality control of this herb. In this study, high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were employed to identify the basic chemical compounds, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed to determine the major biochemical markers from AF extract. There were 104 compounds belonging to eight structure types, including 13 amino acids or peptides, seven alkaloids, 18 flavanones, 14 flavones, 15 polymethoxyflavonoids, six triterpenoids, nine coumarins, and 18 volatile oils, as well as four other compounds that were systematically identified as the basic components from AF, and among them, 41 compounds were reported for the first time. Twelve bioactive ingredients were chosen as the benchmark markers to evaluate the quality of AF. The analysis was completed with a gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min within 55 min. This efficient method was validated showing good linearity, precision, stability, repeatability and recovery. Furthermore, the method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of 12 chemical markers in different samples of AF. This study could be applied to the identification of multiple bioactive substances and improve the quality control of AF.
