A strategy to improve the identification reliability of the chemical constituents by high-resolution mass spectrometry-based isomer structure prediction combined with a quantitative structure retention relationship analysis: Phthalide compounds in Chuanxiong as a test case.
Journal of Chromatography. A 2018 June 2
High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) provides a powerful tool for the rapid analysis and identification of compounds in herbs. However, the diversity and large differences in the content of the chemical constituents in herbal medicines, especially isomerisms, are a great challenge for mass spectrometry-based structural identification. In the current study, a new strategy for the structural characterization of potential new phthalide compounds was proposed by isomer structure predictions combined with a quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) analysis using phthalide compounds in Chuanxiong as an example. This strategy consists of three steps. First, the structures of phthalide compounds were reasonably predicted on the basis of the structure features and MS/MS fragmentation patterns: (1) the collected raw HRMS data were preliminarily screened by an in-house database; (2) the MS/MS fragmentation patterns of the analogous compounds were summarized; (3) the reported phthalide compounds were identified, and the structures of the isomers were reasonably predicted. Second, the QSRR model was established and verified using representative phthalide compound standards. Finally, the retention times of the predicted isomers were calculated by the QSRR model, and the structures of these peaks were rationally characterized by matching retention times of the detected chromatographic peaks and the predicted isomers. A multiple linear regression QSRR model in which 6 physicochemical variables were screened was built using 23 phthalide standards. The retention times of the phthalide isomers in Chuanxiong were well predicted by the QSRR model combined with reasonable structure predictions (R2 =0.955). A total of 81 peaks were detected from Chuanxiong and assigned to reasonable structures, and 26 potential new phthalide compounds were structurally characterized. This strategy can improve the identification efficiency and reliability of homologues in complex materials.
