title: [Study on HPLC fingerprint of water-soluble constituents of Carthamus tinctorius].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish the HPLC-fingerprint of the water-soluble constituents of Carthamus tinctorius.
  
  
  METHODS
  18 samples of Carthamus tinctorius from different producing areas were determined by Agilent 1100 DAD-HPLC under the chromatographic conditions: column by SinoChrom ODS-BP (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm), methanol-0.7% H3PO4 water with gradient elution, column temperature 30 degrees C, flow rate by 1 ml/min, wavelength 280 nm, and inject volume 20 microl.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The HPLC-fingerprint of the water-soluble constituents of Cartharnus tinctorius was established on the basis of 10 bitch of drugs from Xinjiang according to SPSS analysis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A reliable method is provided for the quality identification of Carthamus tinctorius.
