Picrasmaquassioidesis used as a bittersweet stomach medicine. Because it is a natural product obtained from various geographical regions, the production area is important whenP. quassioidesis used as a crude drug. Herein, we developed a method to determine the content of methylnigakinone, one of the major active ingredients inP. quassioides, and a protocol for discriminating the geographical origin of this natural product using a fluorescence fingerprint analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). Because methylnigakinone is fluorescent (excitation wavelength: 352 nm, emission wavelength: 458 nm), the content of this molecule can be determined in the concentration range of 0.1–1 μg/mL. The quantification results of methylnigakinone obtained using the developed method were similar to those obtained from an HPLC analysis. Furthermore, the PCA of the fluorescence fingerprint ofP. quassioidesproduced a score plot with the three different geographical origins (Kyushu island (Japan), Shikoku island (Japan), and China) plotted in the regions. Thus, it was possible to discriminate the geographical origin of theP. quassioidessamples. The developed method is simple, quick, and has a minimal environmental impact. Therefore, the developed method will be useful for confirming the origin ofP. quassioides.
