Objective: To establish HPLC-ELSD fingerprint of Coleus forskohlii.
Methods: Chromatographic fingerprint of Coleus forskohlii was investigated by HPLC-ELSD and gradient elution mode was applied to chromatographic separation.
Results: The HPLC-ELSD fingerprint of Coleus forskohlii was established preliminarily.
Conclusion: HPLC-ELSD fingerprint method is repeated and can be used in quality control of Coleus forskohlii. The active constituent in Coleus forskohlii is probably at equal pace between introduced in Tongcheng and provenance.
