Abstract

Objective: To study the main chemical constituents in Buzhongyigi Tang (BYT) and its regulating effect on immune-depressed mice treated by cyclophosphomide (CY). Methods: LC-MS Analysis of BYT, inhibitory effect of T, B lymphocyte cell proliferation and NK cell activity were observed by MTT method. Results: The main chemical constituents of BYT are polysarccharides, flavonoids, and saponins, they significantly improve the T, B lymphocyte cell proliferation and NK activity in immune-depressed mice treated by CY. Conclusion: The LC-MS method could be used in studying on active constituents in Chinese compound formula so as to elucidate their material bases of pharmacology.
