title: [Fingerprint analyses of fructus Forsythiae].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To provide application basis of the Forsythia suspensa by studying the difference of HPLC-FP of F. suspensa fructification (medicinal materials).
  
  
  METHODS
  Comparative work was done on F. suspensa produced in different areas, on different parts of Forsythia suspensa, and on the pseudo preducts with methods of HPLC-FP.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Different FP characteristics were shown respectively by different samples, which were from different producing areas, from different parts, and the pseudo products including the fructification of Syringa reticulata var. and F. viridissimac.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The FP can be used to distinguish the F. suspensa coming from different producing areas and different sources.
