Screening and Structural Characterization of alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors from Hawthorn Leaf Flavonoids Extract by Ultrafiltration LC-DAD-MSn and SORI-CID FTICR MS

In vitro a-glucosidase inhibition assays and ultrafiltration liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ultrafiltration LC-DAD-ESI-MSn) were combined to screen a-glucosidase inhibitors from hawthorn leaf flavonoids extract (HLFE). As a result, four compounds were identified as alpha-glucosidase inhibitors in the HLFE, and their structures were confirmed to be quercetin-3-O-rha-(1-4)-glc-rha and C-glycosylflavones (vitexin-2 ''-O-glucoside, vitexin-2 ''-O-rhamnoside and vitexin) by high-resolution sustained off resonance irradiation collision-induced dissociation (SORI-CID) data obtained by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR MS).

A study of isomeric diglycosyl flavonoids by SORI CID of Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass Spectrometry in negative ion mode

High-resolution Sustained off resonance irradiation (SORI) CID was employed to distinguish four pairs of isomeric diglycosyl flavonoids in the negative mode using the electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI FTICR MS). All of these isomers can be distinguished via MS/MS data. For these diglycosyl flavones and flavanones, the deprotonated alpha 1-->6 linkage diglycosyl flavonoids produce fewer fragments than the alpha 1-->2 linkage type compounds and the Retro-Diels-Alder (RDA) reaction in MS/MS only takes place when the aglycone is a flavanone and glycosylated with an alpha 1-->2 intersaccharide linkage disaccharide. The deprotonation sites after collisional activation are discussed according to the high mass accuracy and high-resolution data of tandem spectrometry. Some of these high-resolution SORI CID product ions from alpha 1-->2 linkage diglycosyl flavonoids involve multibond cleavages; the possible mechanism is discussed based on the computer modeling using Gaussian 03 program package at the B3LYP/6-31G level of theory. Unambiguous elementary composition data provides fragmentation information that has not been reported previously.

ICP-AES-CID二维光谱的频率特性研究

本文对电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱分析 (ICP AES)中电荷注入检测器 (CID)得到的二维光谱的频率特性作了研究。测量光谱经过傅里叶变换得到其光谱的频域分布。结果表明 ,测量光谱在频域中的信号可被分为两部分 :即低频信号和高频信号。前者代表有用的分析信号而后者代表背景和噪声。然而 ,不能采用简单滤除高频信号的方法来去除噪声 ,因为这样虽然高频信号没有明显改变但会使背景变形。

A STUDY ON CH5O+ IONS IN GAS PHASE CID EYPERIMENT AND QUANTUM CHEMISTRY CALCULATION

The structures of CH5O+ from two different reactions which are protonation of CH3OH from the above two pathways possess the same structures, CH3OH2+. The value of kinetic energy release for the metastable decomposition CH2OH3+-> CH2OH+ + H-2 determined from the experiment is in good agreement with that from theoretical calculations. The transition state of above reaction were disscussed.
