Popis: Background: Yinlan capsule is a complex TCM formulation that is prescribed for the treatment and prevention of hyperlipidemia. Our previous study indicated that one of the key targets of Yinlan is the Pregnane X Receptor (PXR). Purpose: To verify that PXR is the main active target for Yinlan's anti-hyperlipidemia effect, and to discover the agonists and antagonists with both suitable content and pharmacokinetic profile accordingly. Methods: an UHPLC-TOF-MS method was first applied to screen components in Yinlan capsule, peaks found in the ion current chromatogram were identified by the database (AB Sciex Analyst Software 1.6), and those with obvious responses were set as candidates; cytobiological experiment was carried out in the subsequent step, using HepG2 cell incubated with midazolam and monomer of the candidate compounds, yield of 1’-hydroxy- midazolam was used as an index to evaluate the PXR-CYP3A4 regulation activity of each component; a UHPLC-MS method was used for determination of the candidates showed obvious changes in 1’-hydroxy- midazolam yield, and compounds had suitable content in Yinlan capsule were validated for their PXR regulatory activities by QT-PCR; then components with both good PXR/CYP3A4 regulatory activity and suitable content underwent pharmacokinetic research to evaluate their in-body movements, compounds with acceptable pharmacokinetic parameters were finally chosen as quality marker of Yinlan's anti-hyperlipidemia effect via regulation of PXR activity. Comparisons of results in each step of evaluation were carried out using SPSS software, and the compounds with obvious difference (p
