Determination and HPLC Fingerprint of Fructus Forsythiae in Different Collecting Seasons
The content of phillyrin,forsythoside A,ethanol-extract and the hundred-grain weight of Fructus Forsythiae in different collecting seasons were determined.HPLC fingerprint of Forsythiae Fructus in different harvesting time showed that the similarity of green Forsythiae Fructus were more than 0.98,and the similarity of its different parts was high.However,the similarity of grown Forsythiae Fructus was different.The similarity of its shell was low,but that of the seed was high.The results showed the optimum harvest time for green Forsythiae Fructus was late September,and the grown Forsythiae Fructus should be harvested before November.
