Rationale Eomecon chionanthaHance (ECH), a traditional folk herb, is commonly used to treat traumatic injuries based on its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Previous studies have reported that alkaloids are the major bioactive components in ECH. Therefore, identification of alkaloids from ECH contributes to the discovery of its potential active ingredients and quality control in clinic treatments. Methods A four-step screening strategy was performed as follows. (1) Extracting the accurate masses of ions related to different molecules. (2) Screening different types of compounds using their molecular cations, protonated molecules, diagnostic product ions and fragmentation pathways. (3) Comparing the characteristic product ion formulae to obtain the type and number of substituents. (4) Using the biosynthetic pathways of isoquinoline alkaloids to determine the concentration of alkaloids. Results Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC/Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS) analysis combined with the four-step screening strategy was used to profile the alkaloids in ECH. The structures of 95 alkaloids in ECH were unambiguously identified or reasonably assigned, of which 76 were reported in ECH for the first time. Six types of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids were identified in ECH: six benzyltetrahydroisoquinolines, nine protopines, fiveN-methyltetrahydroprotoberberines, six protoberberines, eight benzophenanthridines and sixty-one dihydrobenzophenanthridines. Conclusions This comprehensive study identified the alkaloids in ECH, thus providing a practical reference for further research. The UHPLC/Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS method, combined with the four-step screening strategy, which was developed and successfully applied to identify the alkaloids in ECH, may also be applicable for the efficient screening of other herbal medicines.
