Fingerprinting Analysis of Four Variants of Chrysanthemi Morifoli Flos by RP-HPLC / 中草药·英文版

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a RP-HPLC fingerprinting analysis method for quality evaluation and control of the four variants of Chrysanthemi Morifoli Flos. Methods RP-HPLC was used to establish the fingerprinting method.Results Despite of the similarity in terms of holistic HPLC chromatograms, the four variants of Chrysanthemi Morifoli Flos exhibit characteristic fingerprints and can be readily recognized by similarity clusters. Conclusion A simple and reliable HPLC fingerprinting method has been developed and validated to authenticate the four variants of Chrysanthemi Morifoli Flos, providing a scientific basis for quality control of Chrysanthemi Morifoli Flos.
