Structural identification of the related substances in phloroglucinol injection by two-dimensional liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry
This study aimed to identify the related substances of phloroglucinol injection by two-dimensional liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(2D-LC-Q-TOF/MS).The first-dimensional separation was carried out on an HSS T3(250 mm × 4.6 mm,5 μm)column by gradient elution using 1.36 g·L1 potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution(pH adjusted to 3.0 with diluted phosphoric acid)and acetonitrile as the mobile phases.The separated components were then trapped in switch valve tube lines respectively and delivered to the second-dimensional desalting gradient elution which was performed with a BDS C18(100 mm × 4.6 mm,2.4 μm)column using 0.1%formic acid and methanol as the mobile phases.After rapid desalting,electrospray-ionization quadrupole time-of-flight high resolution mass spectrometry was used for determining the accurate masses and elemental compositions of the parents and their product ions for both phloroglucinol and its related substance.Structures of the related substances were then figured out by mass spectrometry elucidation,organic reaction mechanism analysis,and/or comparison with reference substances.Under the established analytical conditions,phloroglucinol and its related substances were adequately separated,17 main related substances were detected and identified in the injection and its stressed samples for the first time.The identification results can provide reference for the quality control of phloroglucinol injection.
