Abstract
Cynomorium songaricum is a commonly used medicinal and culinary plant renowned for its effects in tonifying kidney yang, as well as nourishing essence and blood. Consequently, it has garnered considerable attention within the fields of pharmacology and chemistry. However, given the distinct geographical distribution of C. songaricum resources, establishing an accurate analytical method to differentiate its origin becomes indispensable in ensuring its quality and efficacy. In this study, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was utilized to obtain comprehensive information on the chemical composition of C. songaricum samples from various regions and establish HPLC fingerprints. Through chemometrics analysis, essential chemical markers for classifying them were successfully identified. Additionally, the Kruskal–Wallis rank sum test was employed to evaluate differences in the content of intrinsic constituents of C. songaricum from different origins. The results demonstrated that C. songaricum samples from Neimenggu, Gansu, and Xinjiang could be accurately classified, highlighting the significance of chemical markers in assessing the quality of C. songaricum. This study provides a scientific basis for systematic quality control of Chinese herbal medicines, thereby contributing to advancements in the Chinese medicine industry.
