Abstract
The liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods were used to identify the pharmacologically active n-butanol extract from Compound Indigowoad Root Granule. As a result, eighteen compounds belonging to various structural classes such as nucleosides, purines, flavonoids and amino acid were unambiguously identified. Then an in vitro neuraminidase (NA) inhibition assay was carried out to examine the inhibitory activity of the standard samples and extracts on NA. After which, ultrafiltration liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ultrafiltration LC-MS/MS) was used to study NA inhibitory activity of standard flavones and n-butanol extract of Compound Indigowoad Root Granule. This method is highly selective and sensitive, and it could be used for characterization of bioactive compounds and botanical extracts. The result provides some enlightenment for the explanation of the antiviral activity of Compound Indigowoad Root Granule and some guidance for natural anti-influenza medicine development.
