A reliable and sensitive ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF-MS) method has been optimized and established for analysis of protostane triterpenoids in a commonly used traditional Chinese herbal medicine Alisma orientalis (Sam.) Juzep. The separation of crude extract of A. orientalis was achieved on a Waters ACQUITY HSS T3 column (100 mm x 2.1 mm, 1.8 mu m) eluting with 0.1% (v/v) formic acid/acetonitrile. A total of 20 protostane triterpenoids including 19 known compounds and a new one were well separated within 7 min. The collision-induced dissociation (CID) tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) fragmentation patterns of protostane triterpenoids was firstly reported in this study. The hydrogen rearrangement at the C-23-OH leads to dissociation of the bond between C-23 and C-24 in the protostane triterpenoid skeleton during the CID process. This dissociation was the characteristic CID fragmentation pathway of this class of triterpenoids, and was useful for further differentiation of some positional isomers which contain an acetyl unit on the C-23 or C-24 position. The identities of isolated compounds were identified by comparing their retention times and CID fragmentation behaviors with those of reference standards or tentatively assigned by matching the empirical molecular formulae with those reported in the literature. It is concluded that this newly established UPLC/Q-TOF-MS method is a powerful approach for structural elucidation of protostane triterpenoids isolated from A. orientalis.
