Abstract
Background: The Jiawei Kongsheng Zhenzhong pill (JKZP), a Chinese herbal prescription comprised of eight Chinese crude drugs, has been historically employed to treat neurological and psychological disorders. Nevertheless, the ambiguous material basis severely hindered its progress and application. Purpose: The current study aimed to establish a rapid analytical method for identifying the chemical components of the JKZP aqueous extract and the components absorbed into the rat serum to investigate the quality markers (Q-markers) responsible for the neuroprotective effects of JKZP. Methods: The qualitative detection of the chemical components, prototype components, and metabolites of the aqueous extracts of JKZP, as well as the serum samples of rats that were administered the drug, was performed using the ultra-performance liquid chromatography- quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) technology. This analysis combined information from literature reports and database comparisons. Moreover, the study was conducted to anticipate the potential Q-markers for the neuroprotective effects of JKZP based on the "five principles" of Q-marker determination. Results: A total of 67 compounds and 111 serum components (comprising 33 prototypes and 78 metabolites) were detected and identified. Combining the principles of quality transmission and traceability, compound compatibility environment, component specificity, effectiveness, and measurability, the study predicted that five key compounds, namely, senkyunolide H, danshensu, echinacoside, loganin, and 3,6'-disinapoyl sucrose, may serve as potential pharmacological bases for the neuroprotective effects of JKZP. Conclusion: To summarize, the UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS technique can be employed to rapidly and accurately identify compounds in JKZP. Five active compounds have been predicted to be the Q-markers for the neuroprotective effects of JKZP. This discovery serves as a reference for improving quality, advancing further research and development, and utilizing Chinese herbal prescriptions.

Abstract
According to traditional Chinese medicine, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi possesses the therapeutic properties of heat-clearing, dampness-drying, diarrhea alleviation, and detoxification, making it a clinically used remedy for respiratory infections. The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in constituent content, pharmacodynamic effects, and material basis of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi in the plasma of mice infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The results showed that a sensitive and efficient high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method was established in this study. Multiple quantitative analyses of Baicalein, Apigenin-7-glucuronide, Baicalin, Oroxylin A 7-O-beta-d-glucuronide, Wogonoside, Norwogonin, Wogonin, Chrysin, and Oroxylin A in mouse plasma revealed a bimodal absorption phenomenon within the time frame of 0.167 h to 6 h post-administration, with the exception of chrysin. Following 6 h of administration, the concentrations of 9 components continued to decrease until they became undetectable. In comparison to the model group, all administered groups exhibited significant reductions in lung index and viral load, with their lung index repair rate and viral suppression rate aligning with the blood concentration-time curve. Finally, through the application of the gray correlation analysis method, we identified Baicalein, Baicalin, Oroxylin A 7-O-beta-d-glucuronide, Wogonoside, Norwogonin, and Wogonin as potential pharmacodynamic material bases of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi against RSV infection.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease(CHD) is a common cardiovascular disease in clinical practice. Curcumae Rhizoma(CR), an important herbal medicine for breaking blood stasis and resolving mass, is often used for the treatment of CHD caused by blood stasis syndrome. However, the anti-CHD components, targets, and mechanism are still unclear. Therefore, in this study, the chemical components of CR were separated and identified by ultra high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS). Based on the identified components, network pharmacology analysis, including target prediction and functional enrichment, was applied to screen out the main active components against CHD, and the potential mechanism was discussed. Finally, molecular docking was performed to verify the binding between the active components and the targets. The results showed that among the 52 chemical components identified in CR, 28 were related to CHD, involving 75 core targets. The core components included(4S)-4-hydroxy-gweicurculactone, curcumadione, and curcumenone, and the core targets included phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha(PIK3 CA), mitogen-activated protein kinase 1(MAPK1), and mitogen-activated protein kinase 3(MAPK3). In summary, through the active components, such as(4S)-4-hydroxy-gweicurculactone, curcumadione, and curcumenone, CR regulates the nerve repair, vasoconstriction, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory response, thereby exerts therapeutic effect on CHD.

Abstract
This study established a mouse model of ulcerative colitis and explored the serum transitional components of Gegen Qinlian Decoction by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS. Based on the exact relative molecular weight and MS/MS spectrum, 55 prototype components and 59 metabolites were identified from the model group, while 18 prototype components and 35 metabolites from the control group. The prototype components in serum were mainly flavonoids and the characteristic components of the model group were alkaloids. Glucuronidation, sulfonation, and glycosylation have been confirmed to be the main metabolic types in vivo. The results of comparative analysis of differences indicated that puerarin, baicalin, wogonoside, wogonin, chrysin, oroxylin A, berberine, berberrubine, and palmatine were the characteristic components in model state, which at the same time, were confirmed by pharmacological studies to be the serum pharmacodynamic material basis of Gegen Qinlian Decoction in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. This study has provided reference for explaining the metabolic transformation pattern and mechanism of action of Gegen Qinlian Decoction in vivo.

Abstract
The PK-PD correlation models by using pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics were applied to study the material basis of Naomaitong,a clinical empirical prescription for the treatment of cerebral apoplexy,in inhibiting the death of PC12 nerve cells induced by Na_2S_2O_4 and Glu. In this experiment,PC12 cell death models induced by Na_2S_2O_4 and Glu were established respectively.With LDH lateral leakage and NO content as pharmacodynamic indexes,PK-PD model was established by SVM algorithm to evaluate the effective components of Naomaitong in inhibiting neural cell death. The results showed that the positive correlation of emodin methyl ether-8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside,aloe emodin,chrysophanol,rhein,emodin,ginsenoside Rg1,ginsenoside Rc,3'-methoxypuerarin and ligustilide was significant,obviously improving the LDH release and NO content. The results indicated that the contribution of Radix Puerariae Lobatae Radix and Rhei Radix et Rhizoma in Naomaitong could protect the nerve cell death induced by Na_2S_2O_4 and Glu respectively. PK-PD model was used to screen the neuroprotective components in Naomaitong,revealing the possible pharmacodynamic material basis of Naomaitong in the treatment of cerebral ischemia injury.
