摘要

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been an indispensable source of drugs for curing various human diseases.However,the inherent chemical diversity and complexity of TCM restricted the safety and efficacy of its usage.Over the past few decades,the combination of liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry has contributed greatly to the TCM qualitative analysis.And novel approaches have been continuously introduced to improve the analytical performance,including both the data acqui-sition methods to generate a large and informative dataset,and the data post-processing tools to extract the structure-related MS information.Furthermore,the fast-developing computer techniques and big data analytics have markedly enriched the data processing tools,bringing benefits of high efficiency and ac-curacy.To provide an up-to-date review of the latest techniques on the TCM qualitative analysis,multiple data-independent acquisition methods and data-dependent acquisition methods (precursor ion list,dy-namic exclusion,mass tag,precursor ion scan,neutral loss scan,and multiple reaction monitoring)and post-processing techniques (mass defect filtering,diagnostic ion filtering,neutral loss filtering,mass spectral trees similarity filter,molecular networking,statistical analysis,database matching,etc.) were summarized and categorized.Applications of each technique and integrated analytical strategies were highlighted,discussion and future perspectives were proposed as well.
