title: [RP-HPLC characteristics of dragon's blood].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the fingerprint of dragon's blood resina draconis by high performance liquid chromatography.
  
  
  METHODS
  The samples are extracted with methanol and separated on a Eclipse XDB-C18 column (4.6 mm x 150 mm, 5 microm) with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-H2O in gradient mode, and the flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1), the detection wavelength was 275 nm and the temperature of column was 40 degrees C. Loureirin B was used as the reference compound.
  
  
  RESULTS
  HPLC fingerprint of dragon's blood was established and the similarity of the fingerprint was compared.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The method is simple, accurate, and can be used to control the quality of dragon's blood.
