Core Tip This study demonstrated that Jiangtang Qingre formula (JQF) ameliorates metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis through multi-target mechanisms. Multi-omics revealed arachidonic acid metabolism, and glutathione metabolism, with multiple targets implicated including Lmod3. Molecular docking confirmed timosaponins exhibited the strongest binding affinity to these targets. Knockdown of Lmod3 partially alleviated free fatty acids-induced AML12 cell injury, an effect further augmented by JQF. Additionally, timosaponin A III and timosaponin B II were effectively absorbed into the bloodstream and enriched in the liver, while their secondary metabolite sarsasapogenin was detected at high abundance in feces, further supporting the role of timosaponins as key pharmacologically active substances.
