Abstract

Rational

Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (AC) is a traditional Chinese medicine with a long history of use. However, the current research on the material basis of AC and its processed products is still not comprehensive, especially the changes in lipo-diterpenoid alkaloids (LDAs) that can be hydrolyzed into diester-diterpenoid alkaloids in AC before and after processing. This study aimed to provide material basis guidance for the clinical use of AC and its processed products by comprehensively analyzing the changes in substances between AC and its processed products.

Methods

An ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC/Q-TOF-MS/MS) approach was optimized to chemical profiling. The MS data were processed using molecular networking combined with the in-house library database to fast characterize the compounds. Multivariate statistical methods were adopted to determine the dissimilarities of components in AC and its processed products.

Results

A total of 310 compounds were tentatively identified from AC, including 109 potential new alkaloids, of which 98 were potential novel LPAs. A metabolomics approach was applied to find the characteristic marker components. As a result, 52 potential chemical markers were selected to distinguish the AC samples of different extraction methods and 42 potential chemical markers for differentiating between AC and its processed products were selected.

Conclusion

The results indicate that UHPLC/Q-TOF-MS/MS and Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking coupled with multivariate analysis strategies was a powerful tool to rapidly identify and screen the chemical markers of alkaloids between the AC samples and its processed products. These results also indicate that the toxicity of water extracts of AC and its processed products were decreased. This research not only guides the clinical safe use of AC and its processed products, but also extends the application of the molecular networking strategy in traditional herbal medicine.

通过超高效液相色谱/Q-TOF-MS/MS 和 GNPS，结合基于临床的多元统计方法，对 Aconiti lateralis radix Praeparata 及其加工品中生物碱的化学标记进行结构表征和筛选。

理由附子（AC）是一种传统中药，具有悠久的使用历史。然而，目前对阿胶及其加工品的物质基础研究尚不全面，尤其是对阿胶中可水解成二酯二萜生物碱的脂二萜生物碱（LDAs）在加工前后的变化研究尚少。本研究旨在通过全面分析交流及其加工品的物质变化，为交流及其加工品的临床使用提供物质基础指导：方法：优化了超高效液相色谱-四极杆飞行时间质谱（UHPLC/Q-TOF-MS/MS）的化学分析方法。质谱数据经分子网络处理后与内部库数据库相结合，可快速确定化合物的特征。采用多元统计方法确定交流电及其加工产品中成分的相似性：结果：从 AC 中初步鉴定出了 310 种化合物，包括 109 种潜在的新生物碱，其中 98 种是潜在的新型 LPA。采用代谢组学方法寻找特征标记成分。结果，选出了 52 个潜在的化学标记物来区分不同提取方法的 AC 样品，并选出了 42 个潜在的化学标记物来区分 AC 及其加工产品：结果表明，UHPLC/Q-TOF-MS/MS 和全球天然产品社会分子网络以及多元分析策略是快速鉴定和筛选 AC 样品及其加工产品中生物碱化学标记物的有力工具。这些结果还表明，AC 水提取物及其加工产品的毒性均有所降低。这项研究不仅为交流及其加工品的临床安全使用提供了指导，还拓展了分子网络策略在传统草药中的应用。

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.
