Simultaneous determination of 35 constituents and elucidation of effective constituents in a multi-herb Chinese medicine formula Xiaoer-Feire-Kechuan.

ABSTRACT: Xiaoer-Feire-Kechuan (XFK) is an 11-herb Chinese medicine formula to treat cough and pulmonary inflammation. The complicated composition rendered its chemical analysis and effective-component elucidation. In this study, we combined quantitative analysis and bioactivity test to reveal the anti-inflammatory constituents of XFK. First, UPLC-DAD and UHPLC/Q-Orbitrap-MS methods were established and validated to quantify 35 analytes (covering 9 out of 11 herbs) in different XFK formulations. Parallel reaction monitoring mode built in Q-Orbitrap-MS was used to improve the sensitivity and selectivity. Then, anti-inflammatory activities of the 35 analytes were analyzed using in vitro COX-2 inhibition assay. Finally, major analytes forsythosides H, I, A (8-10), and baicalin (15) (total contents varied from 21.79 to 91.20 mg/dose in different formulations) with significant activities (inhibitory rate ≥ 80%) were proposed as the anti-inflammatory constituents of XFK. The present study provided an effective strategy to discover effective constituents of multi-herb formulas.

dTGS: Method for Effective Components Identification from Traditional Chinese Medicine Formula and Mechanism Analysis.

Project description:Because of the complexity of the components in Traditional Chinese Medicine formula (TCM formula), it is still a challenge to identify its effective components, to elucidate the mechanism of the components, and to discover the relationship between components and therapy objectives. In this paper, a method called directed TCM grammar systems (dTGS) for effective component identification was proposed using entity grammar systems (EGS) as the theoretical framework. The component-disease relationship of a TCM formula (i.e., Bai-Hu decoction plus Wasting-Thirsting formula, BHDWT) and one disease (i.e., type 2 diabetes mellitus) treated with it was studied, and the effective component groups (ECGs) were identified. 19 compounds were found acting on 20 proteins in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) disease network, and 15 compounds were determined as the candidate effective components. Results indicated that this method can be used to identify the effective components and provide an innovative way to elucidate the molecular mechanism of TCM formulas.

Rapid discovery and identification of anti-inflammatory constituents from traditional Chinese medicine formula by activity index, LC-MS, and NMR.

Project description:The traditional activity-guided approach has the shortcoming of low accuracy and efficiency in discovering active compounds from TCM. In this work, an approach was developed by integrating activity index (AI), liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to rapidly predict and identify the potential active constituents from TCM. This approach was used to discover and identify the anti-inflammatory constituents from a TCM formula, Gui-Zhi-Jia-Shao-Yao-Tang (GZJSYT). The AI results indicated that, among the 903 constituents detected in GZJSYT by LC-MS, 61 constituents with higher AI values were very likely to have anti-inflammatory activities. And eight potential active constituents of them were isolated and validated to have significant inhibitory effects against NO production on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cell model. Among them, glycyrrhisoflavone (836), glisoflavanone (893) and isoangustone A (902) were reported to have anti-inflammatory effects for the first time. The proposed approach could be generally applicable for rapid and high efficient discovery of anti-inflammatory constituents from other TCM formulae or natural products.

Network-based modeling of herb combinations in traditional Chinese medicine.

Project description:Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been practiced for thousands of years for treating human diseases. In comparison to modern medicine, one of the advantages of TCM is the principle of herb compatibility, known as TCM formulae. A TCM formula usually consists of multiple herbs to achieve the maximum treatment effects, where their interactions are believed to elicit the therapeutic effects. Despite being a fundamental component of TCM, the rationale of combining specific herb combinations remains unclear. In this study, we proposed a network-based method to quantify the interactions in herb pairs. We constructed a protein-protein interaction network for a given herb pair by retrieving the associated ingredients and protein targets, and determined multiple network-based distances including the closest, shortest, center, kernel, and separation, both at the ingredient and at the target levels. We found that the frequently used herb pairs tend to have shorter distances compared to random herb pairs, suggesting that a therapeutic herb pair is more likely to affect neighboring proteins in the human interactome. Furthermore, we found that the center distance determined at the ingredient level improves the discrimination of top-frequent herb pairs from random herb pairs, suggesting the rationale of considering the topologically important ingredients for inferring the mechanisms of action of TCM. Taken together, we have provided a network pharmacology framework to quantify the degree of herb interactions, which shall help explore the space of herb combinations more effectively to identify the synergistic compound interactions based on network topology.

UHPLC Q-Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry-Based Molecular Networking for Identification of Chemical Constituents in the Multi-Herb Formula Runyan Mixture.

Project description:Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in-hospital preparations are approved for use only in the hospital where they are prepared. They are widely used in China because of their efficacy and affordable price. However, few researchers focused on their quality controls and treatment mechanisms, for which a key consideration is the elucidation of their chemical composition. Runyan mixture (RY) is a typical in-hospital TCM preparation comprising a formula of eight herbal drugs used for adjuvant therapy of upper respiratory tract infections. The chemical constituents of formulated RY have not yet been elucidated. In the present work, RY was analyzed by a ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography system equipped with high-resolution orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS). The acquired MS data were processed by MZmine and a feature-based molecular networking was constructed to identify the metabolites of RY. 165 compounds including 41 flavonoid O-glycosides, 11 flavonoid C-glycosides, 18 quinic acids, 54 coumaric acids, 11 iridoids, and 30 others were identified. This study demonstrates an efficient method to identify compounds in complex herbal drug mixtures using high-resolution MS and molecular networking tools which will support future research into quality controls and treatment mechanisms of in-hospital TCM preparations.

Multi-targeting chemoprevention of Chinese herb formula Yanghe Huayan decoction on experimentally induced mammary tumorigenesis.

Project description:BackgroundDevelopment of safe and effective chemopreventive agents is a winning strategy in reducing the morbidity and mortality of breast cancer. The current study was to investigate the mechanism-based chemopreventive potential of a Chinese herb formula Yanghe Huayan (YHHY) Decoction on the classical 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) induced rat mammary carcinogenesis model.MethodsFemale Sprague-Dawley rats at 42 days of age were orally administered with a human equivalent dose of YHHY Decoction at 0.02 ml/g (10 mg/ml) once daily, starting 1 wk. before and 4 wks following DMBA treatment. Mammary tumor occurrence was monitored every day. The length of time before palpable tumor is examined is defined as tumor-free survival time. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses were adopted to identify major chemical compositions of the decoction. Following bioinformatics data mining and experimental analyses were performed to demonstrate the underlying mechanism of action.ResultsDMBA animals receiving YHHY Decoction exhibited a significant delay (P = 0.014) and in some animals prevention (P = 0.046) of tumor occurrence without obvious toxicity. Oncogenic myc activation was significantly suppressed in the DMBA-induced rats by the YHHY treatment. Eight major chemical compositions of the decoction were identified and were shown to interfere with multiple tumorigenic pathways simultaneously in the mammary tumors, including inducing tumor apoptosis and up-regulating pro-apoptotic protein Bax and down-regulating anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2; suppressing abnormal cell proliferation and the MAPK/ERK, PI3K/AKT signalings; blocking neo-angiogenesis and the VEGF/KDR signaling, and inhibiting oxidative stress in the mammary tumors.ConclusionThe multi-components and multi-targeting properties of the YHHY Decoction support its use as a potent chemopreventive drug in breast cancer.

Biochar Derived from Chinese Herb Medicine Residues for Rhodamine B Dye Adsorption.

Project description:In this study, one well-known CHM residue (Atropa belladonna L., ABL) was used to prepare biochar capable of adsorbing rhodamine B (RhB) with an ultrahigh surface area for the first time. Three micropore-rich ABL biochars including ABL@ZnCl2 (1866 m2/g), ABL@H3PO4 (1488 m2/g), and ABL@KOH (590 m2/g) were obtained using the one-step carbonization method with activation agents (ZnCl2, H3PO4, and KOH) via chemical activation and carbonization at 500 °C, and their adsorption performance for RhB was systematically studied with adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics. Through pore diffusion, π-π interaction, and hydrogen bonding, ABL biochar had excellent adsorption performance for RhB. Moreover, when C 0 was 200 mg/L, biochar dosage was 1 g/L, and the contact time was 120 min; the maximum RhB adsorption capacity and removal efficiency on ABL@ZnCl2 and ABL@H3PO4 were 190.63 mg/g, 95% and 184.70 mg/g, 92%, respectively, indicating that it was feasible to prepare biochar from the ABL residue for RhB adsorption. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of ABL@ZnCl2 and ABL@H3PO4 for RhB were 263.19 mg/g and 309.11 mg/g at 25 °C, respectively. Furthermore, the prepared biochar showed good economic applicability, with pay back of USD 972/t (ABL@ZnCl2) and USD 987/t (ABL@H3PO4), respectively. More importantly, even after five cycles, ABL@H3PO4 biochar still showed great RhB removal efficiency, suggesting that it had a good application prospect and provided a new method for the resource utilization of traditional CHM residues. Additionally, pore diffusion, π-π interactions, and hydrogen bonding all play roles in the physical adsorption of RhB on ABL biochar. π-π interactions dominated in the early stage of RhB adsorption on ABL@H3PO4, while pore diffusion played a crucial role in the whole adsorption process on both adsorbents.

An integrated chinmedomics strategy for discovery of effective constituents from traditional herbal medicine.

Project description:Traditional natural product discovery affords no information about compound structure or pharmacological activities until late in the discovery process, and leads to low probabilities of finding compounds with unique biological properties. By integrating serum pharmacochemistry-based screening with high-resolution metabolomics analysis, we have developed a new platform, termed chinmedomics which is capable of directly discovering the bioactive constituents. In this work, the focus is on ShenQiWan (SQW) treatment of ShenYangXu (SYX, kidney-yang deficiency syndrome) as a case study, as determined by chinmedomics. With serum pharmacochemistry, a total of 34 peaks were tentatively characterised in vivo, 24 of which were parent components and 10 metabolites were detected. The metabolic profiling and potential biomarkers of SYX were also investigated and 23 differential metabolites were found. 20 highly correlated components were screened by the plotting of correlation between marker metabolites and serum constituents and considered as the main active components of SQW. These compounds are imported into a database to predict the action targets: 14 importantly potential targets were found and related to aldosterone-regulated sodium reabsorption and adrenergic signaling pathways. Our study showed that integrated chinmedomics is a powerful strategy for discovery and screening of effective constituents from herbal medicines.

HERB: a high-throughput experiment- and reference-guided database of traditional Chinese medicine.

Project description:Pharmacotranscriptomics has become a powerful approach for evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of drugs and discovering new drug targets. Recently, studies of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have increasingly turned to high-throughput transcriptomic screens for molecular effects of herbs/ingredients. And numerous studies have examined gene targets for herbs/ingredients, and link herbs/ingredients to various modern diseases. However, there is currently no systematic database organizing these data for TCM. Therefore, we built HERB, a high-throughput experiment- and reference-guided database of TCM, with its Chinese name as BenCaoZuJian. We re-analyzed 6164 gene expression profiles from 1037 high-throughput experiments evaluating TCM herbs/ingredients, and generated connections between TCM herbs/ingredients and 2837 modern drugs by mapping the comprehensive pharmacotranscriptomics dataset in HERB to CMap, the largest such dataset for modern drugs. Moreover, we manually curated 1241 gene targets and 494 modern diseases for 473 herbs/ingredients from 1966 references published recently, and cross-referenced this novel information to databases containing such data for drugs. Together with database mining and statistical inference, we linked 12 933 targets and 28 212 diseases to 7263 herbs and 49 258 ingredients and provided six pairwise relationships among them in HERB. In summary, HERB will intensively support the modernization of TCM and guide rational modern drug discovery efforts. And it is accessible through http://herb.ac.cn/.
