[Application and study of HPLC fingerprint of Lonicera japonica for identification of geo-authenticity].
OBJECTIVE
To establish a chromatographic fingerprint of Lonicera japonica and apply it to identify geo-authentic of L. japonica.


METHODS
The HPLC was applied in chromatographic separation and data were analysed by "computed aided similarity evaluation" software.


RESULTS
There exited distinct difference of chemical components group between and non-authentic samples.


CONCLUSIONS
The established HPLC fingerprint can be used for the identification of geo-authentic of L. japonica.
