PG - 591-7 AB - Chromatographic fingerprinting has been recommended as a potential and reliable strategy for the quality control of herbal medicines. Although varieties of chromatographic techniques, particularly HPLC, have been widely employed, hyphenated chromatographic approach has not been sufficiently exploited in chromatographic fingerprinting. In this work, LC/MS fingerprinting of Shenmai injection was developed. Thirty ginsenosides as well as seven ophioponins were selected to construct the LC/MS fingerprint using selective ion monitoring (SIM) mode, while previous HPLC fingerprint [H.J. Zhang, Y.J. Wu, Y.Y. Cheng, J. Pharm. Biomed. Anal. 31 (2003) 175-183] only represents the ginsenosides. Subsequently, the proposed LC/MS fingerprints were applied to identifying the product manufacturers. All the samples were accurately classified based on their LC/MS fingerprints in conjunction with principal components analysis (PCA). This study would be potentially helpful to improve the quality control ability of fingerprinting-based strategy for complex herbal medicines.
