Abstract: To establish an UPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of α-isobutylmalic acid (B6),blestroside (B12),militarine (B14),gymnosides V (B17),dihydrophenanthrenes 1 (B19) and gymnosides IX (B23) in Bletilla striata. An Acquity UPLC BEH C-18 column(2.1 mm×50 mm,1.7 μm)was used with the mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid in water by gradient elution.Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used for the detection by electro-spray ionization (ESI) source.The results showed that six components can be well resolved and that in the selected linear range,all calibration curves of the six components showed good linearity (r≥0.9974).The average recoveries were 98.07%-103.19%,with RSDs <3.04%. Repeatability,precision and stability were good.The developed method was simple,rapid,sensitive and suitable for the determination of the main active constituents in B.Striata.It provided a new method for the quality control of B.Striata.
