New techniques for extracting and screening xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitors from Changbaishan ganoderma have been developed to enhance the efficiency of medicinal fungi preparation. In order determine accuracy in vitro XOD inhibitor screening, we used AUF-LC-MS method screen characterize active substances. Subsequently, antigout activity ingredients was tested using molecular docking kinetics. To improve extraction isolation bioactive substances ganoderma, a comprehensive activity-oriented preparation that integrates BP neural networks, response surface methodology extraction, UNIFAC/DMD countercurrent chromatography efficiently extract isolate identified inhibitors. Additionally, enzyme kinetics analysis conducted elucidate their interactions with XOD, IC50 values Ganoderic acid I, Lucidone A, C2 Lucidenic A were determined be 16.48, 19.48, 18.36, 24.14, 19.78 mg/mL, respectively. Finally, network pharmacology elucidated anti-gout five compounds, mechanisms action discussed.
