Five triterpenic acids as marker compounds were extracted and isolated from Prunellae Spica by column chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and their purity was determinated by HPLC (purity ${\geq}90%$). Molecular weight and elemental compositions of the five marker compounds were determined by fast atom bombardment high-resolution mass spectrometry (FAB-HRMS). The structural determination of the five marker compounds was carried out fast atom bombardment collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (FAB-CID-MS/MS). The collision-induced dissociation (CID) of protonated molecules $[M+H]^+$ and deprotonated molecules $[M-H]^-$ produced diverse product ions due mainly to retro Diels-Alder reaction (RDA), dehydration and decarboxylation. Moreover, the CID-MS/MS spectra of the $[M-H]^-$ ions were observed charge-remote fragmentation (CRF) patterns. On the basis of interpretation of CID-MS/MS spectra, structural elucidation of triterpenic acids isolated from Prunellae Spica was clearly performed.

In result of analysis for the content determination of ursolic acid(UA) and oleanolic acid(OA) in extract of Eriobotryae folium using HPLC with UV detector, UA in chloroform extract of Moo-mok variety was showed highest content(2.7843 mg/g). And OA in ethyl acetate extract of Dae-bang variety was showed highest content(0.5898 mg/g). These result suggest that direct extraction using organic solvent(chloroform or ethyl acetate) was useful method for rapid quantitative analysis of UA and OA without preprocessing such as drying or fractionation.
