Analysis of 'SHENMAI' injection by HPLC/MS/MS

J Pharm Biomed Anal. 2003 Feb 5;31(1):175-83. doi: 10.1016/s0731-7085(02)00565-4.

Abstract

An HPLC/MS/MS method was developed for the analysis of 'SHENMAI' injection, composed of red ginseng and ophiopogon. The constituents of 'SHENMAI' were found to be similar with those of ginseng and 39 ginsenosides were detected. By the studies of MS and MS/MS spectra and the comparison with literature data, most of these ginsenosides were identified. Based on this study, suggestions were put forward to improve the quality control system of 'SHENMAI' injection.
