Biological fingerprinting analysis by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry for evaluation of DNA structural selectivity of multiple compounds in natural products.
A method by combination of centrifugal ultrafiltration (CUF) sampling with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis was established to evaluate the DNA structure and sequence selectivity of the multiple compounds in a small molecule library. The developed method was applied to analyze the extracts of natural products Coptis chinensis Franch and Rheum palmatum (L.). From the obtained biological fingerprinting chromatograms, 7 compounds in C. chinensis Franch and 11 in R. palmatum (L.) were screened out as DNA binding agents. Most of these compounds were identified by standards and LC-MS analysis after the sample pretreatment with the DNA immobilized cartridge. DNA structural binding preference of the multiple active compounds in these two extracts was then evaluated simultaneously without purification.
