HPLC fingerprint of Euodiae Fructus / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a HPLC fingerprint for quality evaluation of fructus Euodiae rutaecarpa, and to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of its main constituents.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The 10 batches of samples were analyzed by HPLC linear gradient elution method and evaluated by similarity evaluation and system cluster analysis. The common peaks in chromatographic fingerprint were identified by LC-DAD-MS.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The HPLC fingerprint of Euodiae Fructus showed 32 characteristic peaks, among them 13 peaks were identified, and 2 constituents were quantified.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The HPLC fingerprint established could reflect the main constituents of Euodiae Fructus, and could combine with content determination to take an overall control of Euodiae Fructus.</p>
