According to ancient medical texts, various medicinal parts of the fruit of A. contorta were ever used. In order to reveal which part could be safely and effectively used, it is necessary to analyze the chemical profiles of different medicinal parts. Herein we compared the chemical compositions and determined aristolochic acid I(AA-I) and aristolochic acid II(AA-II) in the four parts viz. outer pericarp, inner pericarp, septum, and seed. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography equipped with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UHPLC-QTOF-MS) was applied for chemical profiling. Ultra-high performance liquid coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Qq Q-MS) was employed to quantify AA-I and AA-II in different parts. It was found that the chemical compositions of the four parts varied both qualitatively and quantitatively. A total of 10 AAAs, including 5 aristolochic acids and 5 aristolactams, together with 3 alkaloids, were unambiguously or tentatively identified by UHPLC-QTOF-MS. The quantitatively analytical results obtained by UHPLC-Qq Q-MS showed that AA-I and AA-II exclusively accumulate in the seeds of A. contorta. These findings provide supporting data for the rational selection of medicinal parts.展开更多
使用具有壳聚糖水解活性商品纤维素酶对制备的低脱乙酰度壳聚糖进行水解,进而对产物的组成及结构进行分析。分子排阻高效液相色谱(Size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography,SE-HPLC)结果显示,水解产物主要为相对分子质量...使用具有壳聚糖水解活性商品纤维素酶对制备的低脱乙酰度壳聚糖进行水解,进而对产物的组成及结构进行分析。分子排阻高效液相色谱(Size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography,SE-HPLC)结果显示,水解产物主要为相对分子质量1000~5000的低聚合度壳聚糖及壳寡糖。超高效液相色谱-四极杆飞行时间质谱(Ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry,UPLC-QTOF MS)可对水解物中小分子组分进行有效分离及鉴定,根据一级质谱信息,推测其中含有N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖及17种不同结构的壳寡糖。使用核磁共振(Nuclear magnetic resonance,NMR)对其进行分析,结果显示,产物壳寡糖的还原端主要为N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖,非还原端基本为氨基葡萄糖。综合上述测定结果,推测纤维素酶中发挥壳聚糖水解作用的主要为几丁质酶。展开更多
