HPTLC-DESI-HRMS-Based Profiling of Anthraquinones in Complex Mixtures—A Proof-of-Concept Study Using Crude Extracts of Chilean Mushrooms

TL;DR: High-performance thin-layer chromatography coupled with negative ion desorption electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (DESI-HRMS) was used for the analysis of anthraquinones in complex crude extracts of Chilean dermocyboid Cortinarii to demonstrate the feasibility of the method for the determination of these coloring, bioactive and chemotaxonomically important marker compounds.
