Application Potential of Plant-Derived Medicines in Prevention and Treatment of Platinum-Induced Peripheral Neurotoxicity.

ABSTRACT: As observed with other chemotherapeutic agents, the clinical application of platinum agents is a double-edged sword. Platinum-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN) is a common adverse event that negatively affects clinical outcomes and patients' quality of life. Considering the unavailability of effective established agents for preventing or treating PIPN and the increasing population of cancer survivors, the identification and development of novel, effective interventions are the need of the hour. Plant-derived medicines, recognized as ideal agents, can not only help improve PIPN without affecting chemotherapy efficacy, but may also produce synergy. In this review, we present a brief summary of the mechanisms of platinum agents and PIPN and then focus on exploring the preventive or curative effects and underlying mechanisms of plant-derived medicines, which have been evaluated under platinum-induced neurotoxicity conditions. We identified 11 plant extracts as well as 17 plant secondary metabolites, and four polyherbal preparations. Their effects against PIPN are focused on oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, glial activation and inflammation response, and ion channel dysfunction. Also, ten clinical trials have assessed the effect of herbal products in patients with PIPN. The understanding of the molecular mechanism is still limited, the quality of clinical trials need to be further improved, and in terms of their efficacy, safety, and cost effectiveness studies have not provided sufficient evidence to establish a standard practice. But plant-derived medicines have been found to be invaluable sources for the development of natural agents with beneficial effects in the prevention and treatment of PIPN.

Project description:In this study, we predicted the core active compounds of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu decoction in treatment of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy and the related potential mechanism. Corresponding database was used to complete the interaction (PPI) network of key targets and the enrichment analysis of corresponding genmes. Molecular docking of key targets and key compounds was carried out using relevant software. The 60 chemical components corresponding to the oral absorption of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu decoction correspond to 157 unique targets, and the 233 chemical components corresponding to percutaneous absorption in vitro correspond to 155 unique targets. There were 1074 unique targets for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Finally, three common key targets (SLC6A2, SLC6A3, and SLC6A4) and two key compounds (6-Gingerol and nuciferin) were screened according to the above three target datasets. The results showed that The PPI network of common key targets involved 23 associated proteins. In the related GO enrichment results, there were 33 items related to biological processes, 13 items related to cell composition, 21 items related to molecular function, and four KEGG pathway enrichments. L1000 kinase and GPCR perturbation analysis showed that the associated protein had an effect on the expression of multiple groups of kinase genes. HPA revealed that the enrichment of three common key targets was tissue-specific. The docking results showed that the 6 groups were structurally stable. The oral and topical use of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu decoction can prevent and control peripheral neurotoxicity. The prevention and control effects may be related to its participation in the regulation of neurotransmitter transport, sympathetic activity, and transport. The histological parts of the mechanism are mainly distributed in the adrenal gland, placenta, brain, intestine, and lung, the blood is not specific. According to the prediction results of molecular docking, 6-Gingerol and nuciferin can closely bind to three common key targets.
