[Study on the fingerprints of the alkaloids in Sophora flavescens].

OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for HPLC fingerprint determination of the alkaloids in S. flavescens. METHOD: RP-HPLC, linear gradient elution, LC/MS, etc. were used to determine the fingerprint and identify the main peaks in the HPLC fingerprint. RESULT: A satisfactory method for HPLC fingerprint determination of the alkaloids in S. flavescens. was established, and 5 peaks in the HPLC fingerprint were identified. CONCLUSION: The perfect fingerprint can be obtained and the method can be used for quality control of S. flavescens.
