Abstract
:Cephalanthus tetrandrus (Roxb.) Ridsd. et Badh. F. (CT) belongs to the Rubiaceae family. Its dried leaves are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat enteritis, dysentery, toothache, furuncles, swelling, traumatic injury, fracture, bleeding, and scalding. In order to further clarify the unknown chemical composition of CT, a rapid strategy based on UHPLC-Q-exactive orbitrap was established for this analysis using a Thermo Scientific Hypersil GOLDTM aQ (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.9 µm) chromatographic column. The mobile phase was 0.1% formic acid water–acetonitrile, with a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min and injection volume of 2 µL; for mass spectrometry, an ESI ion source in positive and negative ion monitoring modes was adopted. A total of 135 chemicals comprising 67 chlorogenic acid derivatives, 48 flavonoids, and 20 anthocyanin derivatives were identified by comparing the mass spectrum information with standard substances, public databases, and the literature, which were all discovered for the first time in this plant. This result broadly expands the chemical composition of CT, which will contribute to understanding of its effectiveness and enable quality control.
1. Introduction
Cephalanthus tetrandrus (Roxb.) Ridsd. et Badh. F. (CT), known as Ma Yanshu or Water Yangmei in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and ‘Bagua Maple’ in Dong medicine, belongs to the Rubiaceae family. The leaves have the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, as well as dispelling blood stasis and reducing swelling, and they are used for the treatment of enteritis, dysentery, toothache caused by acute gingivitis and acute pulpitis, furuncles, swelling, traumatic injury, fracture, bleeding, and scalding [1]. This plant is mainly distributed in Hunan, Guangdong, Hainan, and Taiwan provinces. However, no detailed studies on the material basis of its medicinal effects have been reported. To date, most studies on CT have focused on its ornamental value. A previous study reported on its pharmacognosy [2]. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the unknown chemical composition of CT.
In order to further analyze and discover its chemical composition and pharmacological effects, it is necessary to find a suitable analytical technique to analyze the complex chemical composition in CT. There are many methods for analyzing herbal medicine, including thin-layer chromatography (TLC) [3,4], ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV) [5], infrared spectroscopy (IR) [6], and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) [7,8]; however, the components of Chinese herbal medicine are complex and in trace amounts, and these methods cannot accurately characterize them. UV is only applicable to the determination of groups containing unsaturated bonds and aromatic structures, with low quantitative sensitivity and a small application range. NMR also suffers from low sensitivity, with a narrow detection range. TLC and IR easily succumb to interference by many factors, leading to large errors in the analysis results. In recent years, the combination of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry has resulted in improvements in sensitivity and resolution, and it has been widely used for the analysis of food, environment, drugs, etc., as well as for the qualitative analysis of the components of TCM [9,10,11].
In this study, a strategy based on UHPLC-Q-exactive orbitrap was established for the identification of the unknown chemical components of CT. As a result, a total of 135 chemicals comprising 67 chlorogenic acid derivatives (CGAs), 48 flavonoids, and 20 anthocyanin derivatives, were identified by comparing the mass spectral information with standard substances, public databases, and the literature, all of which are reported for the first time.
2. Results and Discussion
2.1. Scheme for Qualitative Analysis
In this study, a strategy based on UHPLC-Q-exactive orbitrap MS combined with parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), diagnostic fragment ions (DFIs), and neutral loss (NL) was established. First, the total extract was obtained via reflux filtration and rotary evaporation. Secondly, the sample was injected into the UHPLC-Q-exactive orbitrap MS to obtain a high-resolution mass spectrum through a full scan. Thirdly, the mass spectral fragmentation pathway library of each chemical component was established and summarized. Fourthly, the potential chemical was predicted by metabolite workflow in Compound Discoverer 3.0 using the following parameters: the drugs were set as shikimic acid, quinic acid, quercetin, and kaempferol, whereas the groups added were set as a list of the abovementioned substituents. Next, the fragment ions were acquired using UHPLC-Q-exactive orbitrap MS in PRM mode triggered by the list of included ions. Fifthly, a high-resolution extraction ion flow diagram (HREIC) was used to further verify the accuracy of screening. Lastly, the candidate chemicals were identified on the basis of diagnostic fragment ions, neutral loss, and retention time, as well as through comparison with the literature.
2.2. Optimization of Extraction Conditions
Different extraction conditions, including extraction methods (reflux extraction and ultrasonic extraction) and extraction solvents (70% ethanol, 20% methanol, 40% methanol, 60% methanol, 80% methanol, and 100% methanol) were investigated in our study. Eventually, ultrasonic extraction with 70% ethanol at room temperature was chosen as the optimal conditions according to the numbers and intensity of the peak in UHPLC-Q-exactive orbitrap MS.

According to the literature, chlorogenic acid derivatives, including chlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid A, and isochlorogenic acid B, exhibit potent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, analgesic, and antipyretic activities in vitro and in vivo (animal models) [33,34,35,36,37,38]. Quercetin has been reported to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, and cardiovascular protective effects [39]. Kaempferol has antiosteoporosis and protective effects on damaged tissues, in addition to the above effects [40]. Procyanidins B1 and B2 have been reported to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and other effects [41]. These compounds might be the effective constituents of CT, contributing to its pharmacological activity.

The fresh leaves of CT were obtained from Leye County, Baise city, Guangxi province, and they were dried under vacuum conditions at 45 °C. The specimen (20201013) was stored at the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hunan University of Medicine, Changsha, China.
3.2. Reference Standards and Sample Preparation
The dried powder of CT (5 g) was extracted under reflux in 100 mL of 70% aqueous ethanol for 1 h, and then the extracted solution was filtrated and dried under reduced pressure to yield a brown residue, which was dissolved in methanol. The sample was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 20 min. A volume of 2 µL was injected into an UHPLC-Q-exactive orbitrap MS for analysis. All reference standards were accurately weighed and dissolved in methanol before storing in a refrigerator at 4 °C until further analysis.
3.3. Instruments and Conditions
The instruments used for this study included a Thermo Q-exactive focus orbitrap MS connected to a Thermo Scientific Dionex Ultimate 3000 RS (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Separation was performed on a Thermo Scientific Hypersil GOLDTM aQ (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.9 μm). The column temperature was kept at 35 °C, and the sample was maintained at 10 °C. The mobile phase was water with 0.1% formic acid (A) and acetonitrile (B). The gradient program was as follows: 0 min, 5% B; 2 min, 10% B; 5 min, 20% B; 10 min, 25% B; 12 min, 55% B; 20 min, 80% B; 25 min, 95% B; 26 min, 5% B; and 30 min, 5% B. MS analysis was performed in both positive and negative ionization modes using electrospray ionization (ESI) in the scan range of m/z 120–1000 at a resolution of 35,000. The source conditions were as follows: sheath gas, 30; auxiliary gas, 10; spray voltage, 3.0 kV for (−)-ESI and 3.5 kV for (+)-ESI; capillary temperature, 320 °C; auxiliary gas heater temperature, 350 °C. The MS1 spectra were acquired in full MS mode at a resolution of 35,000, whereas MS2 spectra were obtained by ddMS2 or parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) mode triggered by inclusion ions [12]. The NEC (normalized collision energy) was set as 30%, with 5.0 × e5 of the automatic gain control (AGC) target. Data were processed using Xcalibur™ version 4.1 and Compound Discoverer 3.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA, USA).
3.4. Prediction of Expected Compounds
It is widely known that chemical constituents in the same category possess an identical carbon skeleton and homologous biosynthetic pathways. CGA analogues constitute a large family of esters formed between quinic acid or shikimic acid and one to four special residues, most commonly p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, sinapic acid, and ferulic acid. Therefore, the molecular structure of the CGA derivatives can be predicted [11,26]. Likewise, flavonoids and anthocyanins can also be predicted. Quercetin and kaempferol are the carbon skeletons of flavonoids connected by hydroxyl (OH) and glycoside bonds; their structures differ in terms of the type and number of sugar units, e.g., glucose (C6H10O5), arabinose (C5H8O4), rhamnose (C6H10O4), rutinose (C12H20O9), and glucosyl rutinose (C18H30O14).
3.5. Establishment of Diagnostic Fragmentation Ions (DFIs) and Neutral Loss (NL)
CGAs, anthocyanidins, and flavonoids with the same carbon skeleton were expected to have similar fragment ions. The fragment ion patterns of six CGAs, six flavonoids, and two anthocyanins were investigated using UHPLC-Q-exactive orbitrap MS in negative mode. The fragmentation pathway of CGAs is shown in Figure 2A. The common fragmentation ions were identified as 191.056 (C7H11O6), 173.045 (C7H10O5), 179.034 (C9H7O3), and 135.045 (C8H7O2), which could be considered diagnostic fragmentation ions. The neutral losses, including C9H6O3, C7H10O5, H2O, and CO2, are summarized in Figure 2A. Likewise, the diagnostic fragmentation ions (151.002, C7H3O4; 107.012, C6H3O2) and neutral losses (C7H4O4 and C6H10O5) of flavonoids are displayed in Figure 2B. The diagnostic fragmentation ions of 289.072 (C15H13O6), 407.077 (C22H15O8), 245.081 (C14H13O4), 125.023 (C6H5O3), and 161.023 (C9H5O3), along with neutral losses (C15H12O6, C8H10O4, C6H8O3, CO2, and C9H8O3), are shown in Figure 2C.
4. Conclusions
In this study, a rapid and effective method for identifying the chemical constituents of CT was developed using UHPLC-Q-exactive orbitrap combined with PRM; the compounds were predicted using DFI and NL techniques. A total of 135 compounds were identified, comprising 67 chlorogenic acid derivatives, 48 flavonoids, and 20 anthocyanins, all of which are reported for the first time in CT. These results expand the knowledge on the chemical composition of CT and provide a scientific basis for the subsequent elucidation of the medicinal substances present and their activities, enabling further development and utilization of this plant. Overall, the results lay the foundation for in-depth research on the pharmacodynamic basis of CT. Furthermore, this research strategy can be used for the characterization of various samples.
