Domestic and oversea research of quality control of materia medica was assayed.It is necessary to choose optimal methods for the study of fingerprint of crude drugs. Taking Radix Astagalis and Fructus Evodiae as the examples, a chemical-pattern recognition method is applied to assess the quality of crude drugs.And this will supply a new method for the quality control of crude drugs.

Object To isolate and identify the chemical constituents from the rhizome of Cimicifuga dahurica (Turcz ) Maxim Methods The different chromatographic techniques were used to isolate ten constituents, and the spectral methods, such as IR, MS, 1HNMR, 13 CNMR and 2DNMR, were used to identify the structures Results Their structures were identified as cimigenol (Ⅰ), 24 epi 7, 8 didehydrocimigenol 3 O ? D xylopyranoside (Ⅱ), 7, 8 didehydrocimigenol 3 O ? D xylopyranoside (Ⅲ), 25 O acetyl 7, 8 didehydrocimigenol 3 O ? D xylopyranoside (Ⅳ), 3 arabinosyl 24 O acetylhydroshengmanol 15 glucoside (Ⅴ), isoferulic acid (Ⅵ), (E) 3 (3′ methyl 2′ butenylidene) 2 indolinone (Ⅶ), sucrose (Ⅷ), ? sitosterol (Ⅸ) and stigmastenol 3 O ? D glucopyranoside (Ⅹ), respectively Conclusion Compounds Ⅱ Ⅳ, Ⅹ are isolated for the first time from the title plant
