The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

    The pharmacodynamic substances in "Scrophulariae Radix-Fritillaria" and the molecular mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects against goiter were analyzed through metabolomics and serum pharmaco-chemistry. A rat model of goiter was established using PTU, and the animals were treated with "Scrophulariae Radix-Fritillaria". The efficacy of the drug pair was evaluated in terms of thyroid gland histopathology and blood biochemical indices. The serum and urine samples of the rats were analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS.

    Keywords: "Scrophulariae Radix-Fritillaria" drug pair, Goiter, Metabolomics, Serum pharmacochemistry, UPLC-Q-TOF/MS
