The analysis of C. rotalaria extracts by UHPLC-MS in conjunction with database searching led to the isolation and structure elucidation of a series of new taurine-conjugated anthraquinones, including Comatulin A, molecular formula C20H19NO10S.

Interpreting the pattern of lines on a mass spectrum may feel overwhelming at first glance. However, with a little background knowledge of the theory behind mass spectrometry techniques, you can begin to recognize what to look for in your mass spectrum and obtain the information you need.

A rich source of cembrane-type metabolites has been found to be Lobophytum crassum, a soft coral from the family of Alcyoniidae. Among five new cembrane derivatives that were isolated is Lobocrassin A, molecular formula C20H29ClO4.

Jin et al studied the novel analgesics used in traditional Chinese medicine and as part of this they isolated and elucidated the structure of a novel triamine monoterpene indole alkaloid, Gelstriamine A, molecular formula C22H27N3O5.

Asperspiropene A was first reported by He et al as the second derivative of a class of compounds containing a unique six-membered ring substructure. The molecular formula was determined from the HR-MS spectrum to be C17H26O8.
