OBJECTIVE：To establish fingerprint of Lonicera japonica ，and to study its anti-inflammatory spectrum-effect relationship. METHODS ：HPLC was adopted. The determination was performed on Diamonsil C 18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.1％ formic acid solution-acetonitrile （gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃，and detection wavelength was 238 nm. The sample size was 10 μL. Using chlorogenic acid as reference，HPLC fingerprint of 10 batches of L. japonica from different production areas was established according to TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System （2012 edition）. By comparing with reference substance ，chemical constituents corresponding to common peaks were identified ，and the similarity analysis was conducted. Acute and chronic inflammatory models of mice induced by xylene ，carrageenan and cotton ball were used to evaluate inhibition rate of 10 batches of L. japonica to ear，foot and granuloma swelling； the average value was calculated as the comprehensive pharmacodynamic index. The spectrum-effect relationship with HPLC fingerprint of L. japonica and anti-inflammatory effect was analyzed by grey relational analysis （GRA）and partial least squares regressiosn （PLSR）based on common peak area and comprehensive pharmacodynamic index . Chromatographic peaks with correlation＞0.7 and regression coefficient of PLSR model ＞0 were characteristic peaks. The percentage of peak areas of characteristic peaks to peak areas of common peak was calculated in 10 batches of L. japonica （e.g.“peak ratio ”）. RESULTS ： There were 25 common peaks in HPLC fingerprints of 10 batches of L. japonica ，with similarity of 0.775-0.994. Totally 9 peaks were confirmed ，i.e. rutin （peak 18），hyperoside（peak 20），isochlorogenc acid B （peak 22），galuteolin（peak 21），chlorogenc acid（peak 9），loganin（peak 10），neochlorogenic acid （peak 2），isochlorogenic acid C （peak 25），isochlorogenic acid A （peak 23）. All 10 batches of L. japonica had inhibitory effects on ear swelling ，foot swelling and granuloma ，with average inhibitory rate of 47.95％-56.52％. The correlation by GRA was peak 8＞12＞18＞16＞3＞11＞20＞22＞19＞21＞1＞9＞10＞13＞24＞14＞2＞ 17＞25＞23＞5＞4＞15，and all of correlations were greater than 0.7. The regression coefficient of PLSR for peaks 2，4，5，7，8， 10，12，13，14，15，16，17，18，20，21，22，24 were all greater than 0；those peaks were positively correlated with anti-inflammatory effect and were characteristic peaks except for peak 7； among them ，VIP values of peaks 5，8，10，16，18， 20，24 were greater than 1. The peak ratio of 10 batches of L. japonica was 58.61％-71.19％. CONCLUSIONS ：HPLC fingerprint of 10 batches of L. Japonica is successfully established. 10 batches of samples have similar components ，and the content of anti-inflammatory components is relatively high. The proportion of characteristic peaks to common peaks should not be less than 51.8％.
