Medicine Analysis of Raw and Processed Cyperi Rhizoma Samples Using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry in Rats with Primary Dysmenorrhea Yilong Chen1, Na Li1, Dan Wang1, Jiuyu Fan1, Rui Chu1, Shengrong Li1 1Chongqing Engineering Research Center of Pharmaceutical Evaluation of Chinese Medicine, Chongqing Academy of Chinese Materia Medica Here, a comparative analysis of raw and processed Cyperi rhizoma (CR) samples is presented using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) in rats with primary dysmenorrhea. The changes in blood levels of the metabolites and the sample constituents were examined between rats treated with CR and CR processed with vinegar (CRV).
