Abstract

AbstractBackgroundChemical profile provides the pronounced evidence for herbal medicine (HM) authentication; however, the chemome is extremely sophisticated. Fortunately, two-dimensional (2D) code, as a quick response means, is conceptually able to store abundant information, exactly fulfilling the chemical information storage demands of HMs.MethodsWe here attempted to denote both MS$$^1$$1and MS$$^2$$2dataset of HM with a single 2D-code chart. Measurement ofGanoderma lucidumthat is one of the most famous HMs with LC–MS/MS was employed to illustrate the “coding-decoding” workflow for the conversion amongst MS/MS dataset, 2D-code, and chemical profile, and to evaluate the applicability as well. After data acquisition, andm/zvalue of each deprotonated molecular signal was divided into integer and decimal portions, corresponding toxandycoordinates of 2D-plot, respectively. On the other side,m/zvalues of all its fragment ions were exactly assigned to serialxvalues sharing an identicalyvalue being equal to the precursor ion. 2D-code was thereafter produced by plotting these defined dots at a 2D-chart. Regarding a given 2D-code map, the entire chart (xcoordinate: 0–600;ycoordinate: 0–600) was fragmented into two regions by the line of y=x. MS$$^1$$1spectral signals always located below the line, whereas all fragment ions lay at the left zone. After extracting information from the edges of each square frame,m/zvalues of both precursor ion and fragment ions could be harvested and putatively deciphered to a compound through applying some empirical mass fragmentation rules.ResultsThe entire code ofGanoderma lucidumfruit bodies therefore corresponded exactly to a compound set. The elution program, even the employment of direct infusion, couldn’t significantly impact the code, and dramatical differences occurred between different species and amongst different parts ofGanoderma lucidumas well. Not only ganoderic acid cluster but also certain primary metabolites served as the diagnostic compounds towards species differentiation.Conclusion2D-code might be a meaningful, practical visual way for rapid HM recognition because it is convenient to achieve the conversion amongst MS/MS dataset, 2D-barcode plot, and the chemome.
