Abstract:

13C NMR spectra of Flos lonicera extracts were obtained by PFT-NMR. The 13C chemical shifts were assigned and compared with those of the chlorogenic acid, the effective component of Flos lonicera. The results suggest that the 13C NMR spectra of the Flos lonicera extracts show good reproducibility, and the spectral characteristics of the extracts obtained from different Flos lonicera sample are, in general, similar to those of chlorogenic acid. Therefore,  the 13C NMR fingerprints of Flos lonicera extract can be used as a criterion to check the authenticity of Flos lonicera and Flos lonicera products. Comparison of the 13C NMR fingerprints between the high grade Flos lonicera and those of lower quality was performed, and the results show that it is feasible to use the differences in the 13C NMR fingerprints to measure the quality of Flos lonicera with sufficient reliability.
