Farfarae flos (FF) is widely used for cough over thousands of years in China, but little is known about their pharmacokinetics properties. This study was aimed to establish a rapid and accurate ultraperformance liquid chromatography with triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry method for compare pharmacokinetics studies of eight active compounds after oral administration between raw and honey-processed farfarae flos extracts. Optimum separation was performed on a Thermo Hypersil GOLD C18 column (100 mm × 2.

This study established a spectrum-effect relationship method for screening and quantifying the analgesic and anti-inflammatory active ingredients in Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (AP) by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry detector analysis (UPLC-QDA). First, the fingerprint of AP was established to determine the common peaks. Next, six batches of AP samples, with significant differences, were selected for evaluation of pharmacological activity.

The aim of this study is to establish a method for rapid screening of active ingredients targeting TNF-α from Chinese herbal medicines. Take Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (APR) as an example, surface plasma resonance technique was used to establish for screening small molecule inhibitors of TNF-α from APR extract. Then UPLC-MS/MS coupled with chemometric was used for quantitative and evaluate the differences of the candidate compounds bound to TNF-α in APR from different sources.

In the study, a surface plasmon resonance-based (SPR-based) competitive assay was performed to analyze different compounds' inhibitory activity to TNF-, an important pro-inflammatory cytokine in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases. Moreover, the single mass spectrometry (MS) detection method was coupled with an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) system for the routine quality control (QC) of a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The above quality control strategy was evaluated with Thunb.

Supercritical fluid chromatography is a safe and ecofriendly analytical technique that has not been fully applied to the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine. This is the first study on the separation of six quality markers-paeoniflorin, albiflorin, benzoyl paeoniflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, gallic acid and benzoic acid-from raw, wine-baked and vinegar-baked Paeoniae Alba Radix (PAR) by Supercritical fluid chromatography. Optimum separation was achieved on an HSS C SB column (100 × 3.
