Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>Qishenyiqi dropping pill (QSYQ), is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription for treating heart diseases in China. Knowledge concerning the systemic identification of active compounds and metabolic components of QSYQ is generally lacking. Therefore, it is essential to develop a valid method for the analysis of active compounds of the combined prescription and determination of interactions among the herbs. The absorbable compounds and metabolites of QSYQ were profiled using computational chemistry prediction, an improved everted gut sac <italic>in vitro</italic> experiment, the Caco‐2 cell monolayer <italic>in vitro</italic> test, a rat <italic>in vivo</italic> experiment and ultra‐performance liquid chromatography/diode array detection/quadrupole‐time of flight mass spectrum (UPLC/DAD/Q‐TOF MS). In total, 42 prototype compounds were recognized as absorbable compounds, and eight metabolites were identified by UPLC/DAD/Q‐TOF MS. The absorption rates of phenolic acids and saponins were significantly improved and the absorption of isoflavone was inhibited after compatibility. The volatile oil component had an improved effect on the absorption of other compounds, while its own absorption was inhibited. In conclusion, the present study established a rapid and effective strategy for demonstrating the absorption and metabolism of QSYQ and revealing the compatible relationship among herbs. This investigation can provide a reference for the compatibility of prescriptions and the modernization of TCM. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.</p> </abstract>
