Analysis of the UHPLC-HRMS chromatogram of TSNGS. The chemical composition of TSNGS was confirmed by UHPLC-HRMS based on retention time and fragmentation behavior, in addition to accurate mass measurement and characteristic fragmentation. A total of 21 compounds were identified, including triterpene saponins, alkaloids, flavonoid glycosides, and phenolic compounds. (a) UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS chromatogram of TSNGS.
