ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish the fingerprints of the best anti-MDR-MRSA components in the combination of honeysuckle and forsythia. Methods:The best active anti-MDR-MRSA ingredients of honeysuckle and forsythia were dissolved in 10% methanol water. A Waters Atlantis T3 (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) column was eluted with water and methanol as the mobile phase. The optimal chro-matographic conditions were determined by optimizing the mobile phase and chromatographic conditions. The fingerprints similarity of 10 batches of active anti-MDR-MRSA components in honeysuckle and forsythia was studied. Results:The best active ingredients of the combination of honeysuckle and forsythia showed 7 peaks with promising separation. The similarity of the 10 samples was greater than 0. 9. Conclusion:The fingerprints of the best active anti-MDR-MRSA ingredient in the combination of honeysuckle and forsythia are stable, and can be used for the quality evaluation of the components.
