A LC-diode array detection (DAD)-ESI-MS/MS method was established for the online characterization and identification of saikosaponins (SSs) from extracts of roots of Bupleurum scorzonerifolium Willd, B. marginatum var. stenophyllum and B. komarovianum. In ESI-MS/MS spectra of SSs, [M-H](- )ions were subjected to the cleavage of glycosidic bonds and produced Y type ions, which can be used to elucidate the structures of saccharide chains and aglycones. Fragmentation of aglycones provided mass information about their major substitutions. For three structural types of SSs, type III can be easily identified by their fragmentation behaviors; while type I and II often occur as isomers and they can be discriminated by their typical UV absorption data. The only sugar ring-cross cleavage corresponding to 76 Da took place at a furanose sugar moiety. As a result, more than 75 SSs, including eight novel compounds, were identified or tentatively characterized based on their UV and mass spectra and retention times. The approach established here allows a comprehensive analysis of the SSs in the genus of Bupleurum and will be helpful for quality control of the crude materials and their related preparations.
