Abstract
Five C10 iridoid glycosides (shanzhiside methyl ester, lamalbide, lamiide, sesamoside, and 5‐desoxysesamoside) were examined by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS). Considerable differences were observed in positive ion and negative ion mode. Only the positive ion spectra were useful for molecular mass determination on the basis of molecular alkali metal adducts, with the exception of two iridoids containing all 5β‐OH, 7β‐OH and 8β‐OH groups. Fragment characteristics for distinct functionalities were observed. Chelation studies of each iridoid with three different alkali metals were also conducted.
