Introduction Scutellariae Radix (SR), derived from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for clearing heat and cooling blood. It has been used as herbal popular functional food in Asian countries today. Methods In this study, UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was first employed to identify chemical components ethanol extract SR. Then, extraction process optimized using star point design-response surface methodology. Fingerprints different batches processed products...

Plantago, also known as plantain, has been used a traditional herb in Asia for centuries to treat urinary tract inflammation and kidney disease. Recently, there increasing interest its potential applications the food industry. In China, are two common species of, namely Plantago asiatica L.(PAL) P. depressa Willd.(PDW), which not distinguished folk clinical practices, leading safety efficacy risks plantago applications. The objective of this study is establish reliable method differentiating...

The characteristics of chemical components or groups in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) determine their clinical efficacy. Quality markers (Q-markers) is great significance for standardizing the quality control system TCM.We aimed to develop a new strategy discover potential Q-markers TCM by integrating chemometrics, network pharmacology, and molecular docking, using Centipeda minima (also known as ebushicao [EBSC]) an example.First, fingerprints different batches EBSC its counterfeit...

Aurantii Fructus (AF) and Immaturus (AFI) are distinct herbs outlined by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. They sourced from same plant but harvested at different times, resulting in differences efficacy. It is important to avoid mixing them clinically distinguish between two. Furthermore, dissimilar cultivation conditions may cause variability quality of herbs, so it vital differentiate drugs origins. In this study, two plants, AF AFI provinces, were comparatively analyzed based on High...

Centipeda minima (L.) A. Br. et Aschers, known as Ebushicao (EBSC) in Chinese, has long been used traditional Chinese medicine for dispelling wind, clearing orifices, detoxification, and swelling. Although the use of EBSC involves whole plant, during harvesting processing, separation stems, leaves, flowers, roots often occurs. However, there are few studies on its medicinal parts.A strategy combining high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprinting multivariate classification...
