The diterpene quinone components in lipid soluble fractions of Danshen were studied by HPLC-ESI/TOFMS. The lipid solubles were extracted with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (1 : 4, V/V). The extract was dried by a gentle stream of nitrogen, and the residue was diluted in methanol for analysis. HPLC was performed on a reversed-phase C18 column using isocratic elution with a mixture of methanol and water with the addition of 0. 1% acetic acid and 5 mmol ·L^-1 ammonium acetate. Accurate molecular weights of individual tanshinones were determined through ESI-TOF/MS on-line detection. The molecular formula and TOFMS fragmentation behavior of each compound were obtained through offline analysis under different collision induced dissociation (CID) energies. Combining literature information with the observed data, 16 tanshinones in lipid-soluble fractions of Danshen were tentatively identified in a run. The method demonstrates high potential as a rapid and effective method for the preliminary structural screening and speciation of bioactive tanshinone components in Danshen or other herbal extracts.
