Forced degradation studies were performed to prove that the method indicates stability. The pharmaceutical substance is prone to oxidative (H2O2 3%), acidic (HCl 0.1 M), and basic (0.1 M) conditions. Delafloxacin proved to be susceptible to acidic (HCl 0.1 M), basic (0.1 M), and oxidative (H2O2 3%) conditions. The proposition of the structures of degradation products has been based on the MS spectrum and the known reactivity of delafloxacin in the oxidative medium. The validation of the analytical method was carried out following the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The method was validated in terms of specificity, precision, linearity, and accuracy.

In our study, an analysis strategy based on targeted tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis was proposed to comprehensively identify the chemical substances in effective component groups. First, the extract of the Polygalae Radix was detected by ultra‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization–orbitrap mass spectrometry in a full MS scan mode to minimize the losses of signals; second, the precursor ions of all compounds were extracted from the obtained full MS scan data using Compound Discoverer software; third, the interested precursor ions were locked based on their molecular features and constructed in a precursor ion list; finally, each precursor ion in the list was subjected to targeted MS/MS analysis for structure characterization.

There are significant differences in quality between two species of A. Scopariae Herba and among A. Scopariae Herba from different harvest seasons and different producing areas, but the current comparative studies on the differences in quality of A. Scopariae Herba mainly focus on the latter; there are few comparative studies on the difference in quality between A. capillaris and A. scoparia. In this paper, the HPLC fingerprints of 13 batches of A. capillaris and 7 batches of A. scoparia harvested in spring were established, 21 common peaks in the fingerprints were demarcated, the constituents of these common peaks were identified by quadrupole‐TOF‐MS/MS, the chemical pattern recognition analysis, including hierarchical cluster analysis, principal component analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis, were conducted with the quantified peak areas of common peaks as variables, and the contents of 12 constituents unambiguously confirmed by reference substances in 20 batches of A.
