Abstract: Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(ESI-MS) in both the positive and the negative ion modes has been used to analyze Icariin(Anhydroicaritin-3-O-α-L-rhamnoside-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside). The results show that strong peak of [M+2H2O-H]- in the negative ion mode was readily observed. Through an experimental method of hydrogen and deuterium exchange, it is proved that the two H2O is crystal water of Icariin. The collision-induced dissociation fragmentation pathways are different in the positive and the negative ion mode and they are proposed.

Key words: Icariin, Electrospray ionization, Mass spectrometry, H/D exchange
