Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of Flos Puerariae by using chemical fingerprint in combination with chemometrics method

ABSTRACT: In order to better control the quality of Flos Puerariae (FP), qualitative and quantitative analyses were initially performed by using chemical fingerprint and chemometrics methods in this study. First, the fingerprint of FP was developed by HPLC and the chemical markers were screened out by similarity analysis (SA), hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA), principal components analysis (PCA), and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Next, the chemical constituents in FP were profiled and identified by HPLC coupled to Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (HPLC-FT-ICR MS). Then, the characteristic constituents in FP were quantitatively analyzed by HPLC. As a result, 31 common peaks were assigned in the fingerprint and 6 of them were conside
