title: Frontal immunoaffinity chromatography with mass spectrometric detection: a method for finding active compounds from traditional Chinese herbs.
abstract: Frontal affinity chromatography (FAC) using immobilized polyclone antibodies of compound A coupled with mass spectrometry was used for the screening of affinity compounds from an extract of Phyllanthus urinaria L. Mass spectrometry was used as an analyzer of FAC. It can analyze the frontal affinity chromatogram of each compound of the extract in one program. The extract was dissolved in 2 mM NH4OAc at a concentration of 10 microg/ mL, then loaded on the immobilized antibody column, and data were collected from mass spectrometry to get a frontal affinity chromatogram. The screening of extract resulted in brevifolin, brevifolin carboxylic acid, corilagin, ellagic acid, and phyllanthusiin U. Activity analyses give high inhibitory activities to these compounds. This research work afforded us a new approach to find new leading compounds from nature or a man-made combinatorial library that have different structure styles or to find substitutes for the synthetic active compound that has high toxicity.
