Quality evaluation of Capitatae Fructus from different geographical regions in China.

ABSTRACT: Capitatae Fructus (CF), an ethnomedicinal resource with both edible and medicinal values in Southwest China, has an incomplete quality evaluation system, and the regulatory mechanisms of environmental factors on its bioactive component accumulation remain unclear. In this study, 37 CF batches from 6 producing areas in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces were analyzed. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to establish a fingerprint with good precision and reproducibility and conduct multi-component quantitative analysis, combined with hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), Correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and hierarchical partitioning (HP) to investigate CF's chemical characteristics and environmental regulation patterns. Results showed an HPLC fingerprint
