Screening of Biomarkers and Quality Control of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction Using UPLC-MS/MS Combined with Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Technology.

ABSTRACT: Shaoyao Gancao Decoction (SGD) is a classic prescription of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which is composed of Paeoniae Radix Alba and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and has the clinical effect of anti-liver injury, but its active ingredients are unclear. In this study, the joint application of phytochemical compositional analysis, network pharmacology, and molecular docking technology was utilized to screen the active components of SGD against liver injury. Firstly, a total of 110 compounds were identified by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, including 54 flavonoids, 23 triterpenoids, 10 monoterpenoids, 6 coumarins, and 17 other compounds. Secondly, based on the above plant chemical compositions, network pharmacology was used to search for the active components of SGD against liver injury, and 19 c
