A liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (LC‐ESI‐TOF‐MS) method has been developed to evaluate the quality of three formulas of compound Danshen preparations (CDPs), through a simultaneous determination of 22 marker constituents (nine major phenolic acids, eight major saponins and five major diterpenoids). Optimum separations were obtained with a Zorbax C 18 column, using a gradient elution with 0.1% aqueous formic acid and acetonitrile. Limits of detection and quantification were in ranges of 1.58–10.10 and 4.85–28.56 ng/mL. All calibration curves showed good linear regression ( r 2 >p;0.9900) within the test range, and the recoveries were between 78.4 and 103.1% for all analytes. The assay was successfully utilized to analyze the 22 marker components in 26 samples. The overall results demonstrated that this method is sensitive, accurate and reliable for the quality control of CDPs. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
