Bioactivity-based UPLC/Q-TOF/MS strategy for screening of anti-inflammatory components from Cimicifugae Rhizoma

Cimicifugae Rhizoma (CR) pretreatment ameliorated Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced pneumonia. Based on bioactivity-guided UPLC/Q-TOF/MS strategy, the anti-inflammatory ingredients were identified as caffeic acid derivatives.
