Tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was used to analyze biologically active compounds in extracts of the tuber and roots of Rhodiola rosea (family Crassulaceae) and in the pharmaceutical formulation Multiphytoadaptogen (MPA). Chromatography was run on Acquity UPLC BEH C18 columns with gradient elution. A TSQ Vantage ternary quadrupole mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization was used. MPA, like the Rhodiola rosea tuber/root extract, was found to contain salidroside, rosavin, rosarin, rosiridin, and rhodionin. These results can be used for standardization, identification, and quality control of phytocomplexes containing these Rhodiola rosea compounds to identify grounds for the mechanisms of the biological actions of MPA and studying its novel properties, taking account of the components identified. The PASS computer program was used for in silico evaluation of the spectra of the antitumor activities of these compounds. Antitumor effects were predicted with high probability for all five phytocomponents; the specific characteristic of the actions of individual compounds suggested that combinations might be used for treating a wide spectrum of malignant neoplasms.
