[Studies on HPLC fingerprint of the hydrophilic constituents of Valeriana medicinal plants].
OBJECTIVE
To establish the fingerprint of the hydrophilic constituents of Valeriana medicinal plants.


METHODS
The HPLC-UV assay was used to establish the fingerprint of the hydrophilic constituents of Valeriana medicinal plants.


RESULTS
The HPLC fingerprint profiles of the hydrophilic constituents of Valeriana medicinal plants contains 12 common peaks. The relative retention time and the ranges of relative area of the common peaks were determined.


CONCLUSIONS
The fingerprint profile can be used for the identification and quality control of Valeriana medicinal plants.
