Urine and plasma specimens fortified with 82 drugs and metabolites were prepared and analyzed by liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (QTOF) instrumentation from three different vendors using the instrument manufacturers' methods and workflows for drug screening. No prior knowledge about the compounds included or their concentrations were provided. Samples were prepared and sent for analysis on a TripleTOF(®) 5600 system, a 6530 QTOF and a Xevo(®) G2-S QTof. All three platforms performed well with >90% of compounds detected in one set of spiked plasma samples, and 79-88% for a second set of spiked plasma and two sets of spiked urine samples.

Saponins are responsible for the clinical effects of leaves, which are traditionally produced as the single herb resource of 'Qiye Shenan Pian' in Chinese patent medicine. In this study, the metabolic characteristics of PNLSs were explored in rat feces. PNLSs as well as their metabolites were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS).

Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was used to rapidly identify the chemical components in Dracocephalum moldavica, and UPLC was employed to determine the content of its main components. MS analysis was performed using an electrospray ionization(ESI) source and data were collected in the negative ion mode. By comparing the retention time and mass spectra of reference compounds, and using a self-built compound database and the PubChem database, 68 compounds were identified from D.

Introduction: As a widely used Chinese herbal medicine, Mume Fructus pulp (MFP) has rich nutritional value and biological activity, but its quality control research is relatively scarce.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the quality difference between MFPs from different origins and its adulterant apricot pulp (APP), and to identify potential quality markers.

Methods: The chemical compositions were identified by untargeted metabolomics analysis based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry combined with feature-based molecular networking.
