Provided is a method for determining a high-performance liquid chromatographic fingerprint of a Chinese medicine composition. The Chinese medicine composition consists of forsythia, Japanese honeysuckle, indigowoad root, bitter almond, mentha-camphor, houttuynia cordata, rhubarb, patchouli, male fern rhizome, kirilow rhodiola root and rhizome, ephedra, licorice, and gypsum. The fingerprint determination method detects 15 main chromatographic peaks, and identifies nine of the main chromatographic peaks as neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, isoforsythiaside A, forsythiaside A, forsythin, quercitrin, 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt, respectively. |
