The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical analysis and detection and particularly relates to a method for measuring
active ingredient content in
Ginkgo biloba L. leaves. According to the method, rapid
online optimization is carried out on
mass spectrometry parameters comprising a fragmentation
voltage and collision energy in an
electrospray anion
tandem mass spectrometry multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode through application of an ultra performance liquid
chromatography-tandem
quadrupole mass spectrometer, and high-strength target
ion pairs are formed. Through utilization of the target
ion pairs with the series of characteristics, rapid qualitative and quantitative analysis is carried out on three kinds of active ingredients of
ginkgolides, flavonol glycosides and biflavones in a
ginkgo biloba medicinal material. The detection method provided by the invention is simple in operation and has high sensitivity and precision, good reproducibility, high stability and a high
recovery rate. The three kinds of active ingredients of
ginkgolides, flavonol glycosides and biflavones contained in the
Ginkgo biloba L. leaves can be measured at the same time. The defect that anexisting medicinal
material quality control technology is not complete and scientific enough is made up. Quality of the
Ginkgo biloba L. medicinal material can be accurately and comprehensively controlled.
