摘要:

单萜苷是芍药的主要活性成分, 串联质谱裂解易于特征性丢失30 Da。这一现象已被很多学者报道, 然而该裂解的机制研究却报道甚少。本文利用离子阱质谱对芍药的11个单萜苷中性丢失30 Da的质谱裂解机制进行了深入研究。在离子阱质谱中, 含有半缩醛结构的化合物1530%的打击能量下很容易丢失30 Da; 而对于不含有半缩醛结构的化合物611, 只有当打击能量增加到60%, 才能出现较弱的丢失30 Da的碎片离子。经高分辨质谱分析, 化合物111丢失的30 DaCH2O。通过对11个单萜苷的结构及质谱裂解特征的深入分析, 我们认为化合物15丢失30 Da的机制为半缩醛结构的断裂, 而其他6个不含有半缩醛结构的单萜苷丢失30 Da的机制则可能为葡萄糖基上5¢-羟甲基的断裂。此外, 在低打击能量下丢失30 Da的特征裂解可用于筛选芍药属植物中含有半缩醛的单萜苷类成分, 并用于区分来源于芍药属植物的不同中药。

Abstract:

Monoterpene glycosides are the major bioactive compounds of Paeonia lactiflora Pall (P. lactiflora). Characteristic neutral loss of 30 Da has been extensively reported for monoterpene glycosides in tandem mass spectrometry. However, little is known about mechanism of this fragmentation. The neutral loss of 30 Da was studied for eleven monoterpene glycosides (111) from P. lactiflora by ion trap mass spectrometry in this report. Compounds 15 with a hemiacetal structure could readily lose 30 Da at low collision energy of 30% in MS/MS by ion trap mass spectrometry. For compounds 611, neutral loss of 30 Da could also be observed at low abundance, but the collision energy had to be increased to 60%. In both cases, high-accuracy mass spectrometry assigned the 30 Da as CH2O. After careful analysis of the structures and mass spectra, we believe that the neutral loss of 30 Da in compounds 15 was due to cleavage of the hemiacetal structure, whereas it was ascribed to the cleavage of 5¢-hydroxymethyl group of the glucosyl residue in other monoterpene glycosides. Furthermore, the characteristic neutral loss of 30 Da at low collision energy was used to screen hemiacetals from crude extracts of P. lactiflora and related plant species. Significant differences among Paeonia species were observed by 30 Da neutral loss analysis.
