Abstract: The chemical constituents in male flowers of Eucommia ulmoides were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization-triple quadrupole-time of flight-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-Triple TOF-MS/MS). The separation and analysis were carried out on a reversed-phase C18 column with gradient elution using 0.1% formic acid (A)-acetonitrile (B) under the negative ionization mode of ESI. According to the accurate mass of quasi-molecular and product ions provided by Triple TOF-MS/MS, a total of 32 constituents were identified or tentatively presumed by comparing with reference standards and literature data, including 2 lignans, 9 iridoids, 8 penylpropanoids, 12 flavonoids and one phenolic glycoside. This study may provide basic information for further research?on the pharmacodynamic material basis and intensive utilization of male flowers of Eucommia ulmoides.

Key words: male flowers of Eucommia ulmoides, liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization-triple quadrupole-time of flight-tandem mass spectrometry, chemical constituents
