Study on HPLC Fingerprints of Potentilla discolor and Authenticity Identification / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To establish HPLC fingerprints of Potentilla discolor,and to conduct authenticity identification.METHODS:HPLC method was adopted.The determination was performed on InertSustain C18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.1％ formic acid solution-acetonitrile (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min,detection wavelength of 360 nm,colunn temperature of 30 ℃,sample size of 10 μL.Using rutin as reference,HPLC chromatograms of 19 batches of P.discolor and 2 batches of P.chinesis were determined.TCM Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System (2004) was used for similarity evaluation of 21 batches of samples,and common peak identification of 19 batches of P discolor SPSS 21.0 statisticl software was used for main component analysis and cluster analysis.RESULTS:There were 18 common peaks in HPLC fingerprints of 19 batches of P.discolor,the similarity was higher than 0.9.-HPLC chromatogram was in good agreement with control fingerprint.The similarity of 2 batches of P chinesis was lower than 0.7.The 21 batches of medicinal materials could be grouped into 2 categories,2 batches of P chinesis could be grouped into a category,19 batches of P.discolor could be grouped into a category.P discolor could be grouped into 4 categories.Rutin and quercitrin were main ingredients in 19 batches of P discolor.CONCLUSIONS:Established fingerprint can provide reference for authenticity identification and quality evaluation of P.discolor.
