Background  San-ao decoction (SAD) has been widely used in Chinese medicine against respiratory diseases, such as asthma and rhinallergosis. The bioactive compounds for such pharmacological action remain unknown.    Methods  We developed a methodology to isolate the bioactive compounds of SAD. The assay involved the immobilization of beta 2-adrenoceptor ( β  2 -AR) onto magnetic fine particles, the capture of target compounds by the immobilized receptor, the identification of the receptor bound compounds by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry.    Results  Vicenin, shaftoside, isoshaftoside, liquiritin apioside and isoliquiritin apioside were identified as  β  2 -AR ligands in SAD extract. The binding of these compounds to  β  2 -AR occurred on serine 169 , serine 170  and phenylalanine 256  of the receptor.    Conclusions  The developed methodology has high stability and specificity for recognizing and isolating target compounds. It is an alternative method for rapidly screening bioactive compounds of immobilized receptor from Chinese prescriptions.    Electronic supplementary material  The online version of this article (10.1186/s13020-018-0207-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
