However, the key active components closely associated with its antidepressant efficacy, as well as the pharmacologically validated quality markers (Q\u2013markers) for efficacy\u2013oriented quality control, remain to be systematically identified and validated. This study aimed to identify and validate the antidepressant Q\u2013markers of YJW through an integrated strategy combining chemical profiling, spectrum\u2013effect correlation, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vivo pharmacological validation. The 95% ethanol extract demonstrated the strongest antidepressant effect in the reserpine\u2013induced zebrafish depression model, significantly improving zebrafish locomotion, restoring neurotransmitter 5\u2013HT and DA levels, and suppressing inflammatory cytokines IL\u20136 and TNF\u2013\u03b1 (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.01). A total of 42 common compounds were identified from different extracts of YJW by UPLC\u2013Q\u2013TOF\u2013MS\/MS, of which 14 were prioritized through Pearson bivariate correlation and Gray relational analysis (GRA). Subsequent mechanistic analyses, including pathway enrichment and molecular docking, indicated that these prioritized components were mainly involved in inflammation\u2013related pathways. In vivo validation showed that these 4 compounds alleviated depression\u2013like behaviors, modulated neurotransmitters and cytokines, and downregulated\n                    <jats:italic>tnfa<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>il6<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>rela<\/jats:italic>\n                    expression. HPLC quantification confirmed their presence in YJW, with the validated method demonstrating feasibility. Collectively, these findings establish 4 pharmacologically meaningful Q\u2013markers for YJW, provide a scientific basis for its quality standardization, and contribute to advancing the modernization of TCM\u2013based antidepressant therapy.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cbdv.202502996","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,27]],"date-time":"2026-03-27T17:12:10Z","timestamp":1774631530000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Integrated Pharmacology, Correlation Analysis, and Network Pharmacology: A Combined Strategy for Discovering and Validating Antidepressant Q\u2010Markers of Yueju Wan"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Jianli","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy Harbin University of Commerce  Harbin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuang","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy Harbin University of Commerce  Harbin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy Harbin University of Commerce  Harbin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy Harbin University of Commerce  Harbin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xueqin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy Harbin University of Commerce  Harbin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guangyu","family":"Diao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Shiyitang Co.
