Objective To evaluate the quality difference of Tripterospermum chinense from different origins.Methods Contents of loganic acid,morroniside,swertiamain,gentiopicrin,mangiferin,isoorientin,isovitexin,demethylbellidifolin,swertisin,3,6,8-trihydroxy-1-methyl-xanthen-9-one,maslinic acid and ursolic acid in T.chinense were determined by HPLC method.PCA and OPLS-DA were used to analyze the contents of multi-component components,and the weighted-TOPSIS model was established to evaluate the quality.Results 16 Batches of T.chinense were clustered into three categories,and loganic acid,morroniside,3,6,8-trihydroxy-1-methyl-xanthen-9-one,ursolic acid,swertisin,and mangiferin were the main potential markers affecting the quality of T.chinense.The overall quality of T.chinense from Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces is good.Conclusion The established method has a simple control mode and a scientifically reasonable evaluation model,which can be used for the quality evaluation of T.chinense.
