Establishment idea of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos fingerprint system based on Q-marker of Chinese materia medica / 中草药

ABSTRACT

The establishment of fingerprint system and the study of spectrum-effect relationship have become a very important development trend in quality evaluation of Chinese materia medica (CMM). It is based on the research of index components and can be used to evaluate the authenticity, quality and stability of crude drug, pieces and patent medicines of CMM. However, it is affected by many unstable factors and lacks of relevance to traditional Chinese medicine theories. Quality marker, in due course, provides an enlightening thought and way for the fingerprint system and spectrum-effect relationship studies. Taking Lonicerae Japonicae Flos as an example, this paper explores the researching ideas and establishes methods for fingerprinting research on CMM based on the characteristics of Q-markers.
