The present application belongs to the technical field of separation and analysis
chemistry, and particularly relates to a
mass spectrometric
qualitative analysis method for
iridoid glycoside isomers. The steps of the method are as follows: the sample is first extracted and separated by liquid
chromatography, the separated sample is subjected to secondary
mass spectrometric analysis under negative
ion and positive
ion modes under gradient collision energy, collision-induced dissociation is performed on the target parent
ion, and secondary
mass spectrometric spectra under various collision energies are collected; characteristic ions are screened, and isomers are identified by comparing the relative abundance differences of the characteristic ions between different isomers. The present application compares and analyzes the MS / MS
cracking rules of
iridoid glycoside isomers by LC-QTOF-MS / MS
system, and the differences in
cracking characteristics are determined by the
relative intensity differences of multiple fragment ions under positive and negative
modes under gradient collision, thereby improving the accuracy of isomer identification.
