[Regional differences analysis of Alismatis Rhizoma based on UPLC characteristic chromatogram and determination of eight terpenoids].

An ultra-performance liquid chromatography(UPLC) method integrating characteristic chromatogram and eight terpenoids determination has been established for comparing the differences of Alismatis Rhizoma(Zexie) from different product areas. Thirty-seven batches of crude drugs and thirty batches of prepared slices of Alismatis Rhizoma were analyzed. The obtained data were analyzed by similarity evaluation, principal components analysis(PCA) and...
