Characterization and Anti-Allergic Mechanisms of Bioactive Compounds in a Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescription Using UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, Network Pharmacology and Computational Simulations.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Allergic diseases (e.g., asthma, chronic urticaria) are increasing globally, but current anti-allergic drugs exhibit limitations in efficacy and safety. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emphasizes constitutional regulation for allergic diseases management. The allergic constitution prescription (ACP), a TCM formulation, lacks clear mechanistic insights. Methods: This study employs a novel network pharmacology approach integrating ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) to identify ACP's chemical components and compare its mechanisms with anti-allergic drugs. Chemical components of ACP were analyzed via UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, and allergic disease-related targets were collected from
