A dereplication strategy for identifying triterpene acid analogues in Poria cocos by comparing predicted and acquired UPLC‐ESI‐QTOF‐MS/MS data

Introduction Triterpene acids from the dried sclerotia of Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf (poria) were recently found to possess anti‐cancer activities. Identification of more triterpene acid analogues in poria is worthwhile for high throughput screening in anti‐cancer drug discovery. Objective To establish an efficient dereplication strategy for identifying triterpene acid analogues in poria based on ultra‐performance liquid chromatography with...
