title: [Correlativity between fingerprint peaks of HQSM capsule and its relevant herbs].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish HPLC fingerprint of HQSM capsules,and a new method for correlativity analysis between fingerprint peaks of HQSM and its relevant herbs based on the fingerprint analysis.
  
  
  METHODS
  The chromatographic fingerprints of HQSM and its relevant herbs were analyzed by HPLC configured with DAD. The similarity of the HPLC fingerprints between HQSM and its relevant herbs and the comparison of UV spectra of the main peaks in both of fingerprints were used as indices to evaluate the correlativity.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The HPLC fingerprint with 16 common peaks was established and the chromatographic peaks were determined.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The established method effectively controlled the quality of HQSM and establised the correlativity between HQSM and its relevant herbs, which would contribute to deduce the chemical components or sources of traditional Chinese medicine prescription.
