Structural Characterization and Discrimination of Morinda officinalis and Processing Morinda officinalis Based on Metabolite Profiling Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Morindae officinalis Radix (MOR) is a famous traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and functional food material for invigorating kidneys and tonifying yang. Processed Morindae officinalis Radix (PMOR) is obtained by steaming MOR. Traditionally, the clinical effects are discrepant between processing and nonprocessing herbal medicines. MOR and PMOR are commonly used in both clinical practice and dietary supplements, and the effect of invigorating kidneys and tonifying yang of PMOR is stronger than MOR. To clarify the overall chemical composition and the difference of MOR and PMOR, a method was developed with an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS). Among the 110 identified components shared by MOR and
