title: [HPLC-MS3 analysis of chemical constituents in Epimedium brevicornum].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the chemical constituents of effective part of Epimedium brevicornum.
  
  
  METHODS
  The sample was extracted with ethanol and purified by macroporous resin. The structures were identified by HPLC-MS3 experiments.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Nine compounds were identified from the effective part of E. brevicornum.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The method is simple and rapid for the identification of the flavonoids from E. brevicornum.
