Diterpenoids are considered the major active compounds in in virtue of their special structures and activities. Herein, an analytical method was developed for rapid screening and identification of diterpenoids in using high-performmance liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion trap-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (HPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap) in negative ion mode. Two diterpenoid reference standards were first analyzed to obtain their characteristic ESI-MS/MS fragmentation patterns.
