[LC-MS analysis of three kinds of Mutong medicinal materials]

Three kinds of Mutong medicinal materials (Lardizabalaceae, Ranunculaceae, Aristolochiaceae) were analyzed qualitatively by LC-MS. The results show Mutong of Lardizabalaceae and Mutong of Ranunculaceae have more the same chemical constituents, and Mutong of Aristolochiaceae has less the same constituents with them. These results are consistent with their medicinal properties and explain the similarity and difference in medicinal properties from chemical basis.
