ABSTRACT
Based on the establishment of analytical method of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry fingerprint and obtaining pharmacodynamic information of the effects on IL-4, IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-γ of serum and interstitial fluid of the damp-type ulcerative colitis mice of Gegen Qinlian decoction and its formula compatibility groups, the spectrum–effect relationship study was performed by using the method of principal component analysis. The study built the common pattern of UHPLC–MS/MS fingerprint of Gegen Qinlian decoction and formula compatibility groups and identified eight components which were rooted in monarch and subject drugs and represented the whole pharmacodynamic information of Gegen Qinlian decoction. The research on formula compatibility and spectrum–effect relationship can provide scientific basis for revealing pharmacodynamic material basis and compatibility regularity of Gegen Qinlian decoction.
