Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are non-selective cation channels that are implicated in analgesia, bowel motility, wound healing, thermoregulation, vasodilation and voiding dysfunction. Many natural products have been reported to affect the activity of TRP channels. We hypothesize that numerous traditional herbal medicines (THMs) might exert their pharmacological activity through modulating the activity of TRP channels. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of flavonoid aglycones and their glycosides, which are the main components of many THMs, on the TRP channel subtypes. A Ca2+ influx assay was performed using recombinant human TRPA1, TRPV1, TRPV4 and TRPM8 cell lines. Our findings showed that flavonoid aglycones and glycycoumarin activated TRPA1. In particular, isoflavone and chalcone compounds displayed potent TRPA1 agonistic activity. Furthermore, flavone aglycones showed concomitant potent TRPM8 inhibiting activity. Indeed, flavone, isoflavone aglycones, non-prenylated chalcones and glycycoumarin were found to be TRPM8 inhibitors. Hence, flavonoid aglycones metabolized by lactase-phlorizin hydrolase and β-glucosidase in the small intestine or gut microbiota of the large intestine could generate TRPA1 agonists and TRPM8 antagonists.

Biomed Chromatogr 2020; 34:e4965. [PMID: 32794231 DOI: 10.1002/bmc.4965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2020] [Revised: 08/02/2020] [Accepted: 08/09/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
In this research, ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was used for detection and identification of the absorptive constituents and their metabolites in rat plasma, urine and feces following oral administration of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen alcohol extract. After structure elucidation, a total of 12 compounds in rat plasma, comprising seven prototypes and five metabolites, 28 compounds in urine, comprising 17 prototypes and 11 metabolites, and 23 compounds in feces, comrpising 17 prototypes and six metabolites, have been tentatively identified by comparison with standard compounds and reference literature information. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive and systematical metabolic study on the seed. Mostly importantly, we propose that gastric acid could convert jujubosides into an absorbable form of ebelin lactone oligosaccharides, which may be responsible for the low bioavailability and specific bioactivities of these compounds. Additionally, we deduced that the absorption site of ebelin lactone oligosaccharides is located in the stomach, and that the ebelin lactone form of jujubosides may be more suitable for absorption than its hydrolysis product. Our investigation will be helpful to narrow the scope for potentially active ingredients of the seed, and pave the way for determination of the pharmacological mechanism of the seed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is one of the major health problems worldwide. The induction of brown adipocyte formation and activity represents a promising therapeutic option by increasing energy expenditure. Asian herbs have the potential to treat obesity, however, pharmacological effects should be well documented at the molecular level first. HYPOTHESIS A novel hypothesis-driven screening approach identified the root of Pueraria montana var. lobata (Willd.) Sanjappa & Pradeep (PLR) to have potential effects on obesity by stimulating brown adipocytes. STUDY DESIGN This study explored the metabolic effects of PLR water extract (PLRE) in a high-fat diet-induced obesity mouse model and characterized its secondary metabolite composition. METHODS Animals were orally treated daily for two weeks and the bioactivity of PLRE evaluated by measuring various parameters including body weight, circulating metabolites, energy expenditure and insulin sensitivity. The chemical composition of the mains components was obtained by HPLC-MS-ELSD-PDA. Based on the dereplication results and semi-quantitative estimation, pure molecules were selected for tests on adipocytes in vitro. RESULTS PLRE induces brown adipocyte activity and triggers the formation of brown-like cells in inguinal fat tissue, weight loss, and improved glucose metabolism. These effects are primarily caused by cell-autonomous activation of brown adipocytes and not by autonomic nervous system regulation. Even though the analysis of PLRE revealed puerarin as the most abundant secondary metabolite, it showed no effect on brown adipocyte formation and function. Brown adipocyte activity was induced dose-dependently by two other isoflavones, daidzein, and genistein. Daidzein is present in a very small amount in PLRE, but various glycosidic isoflavones, including puerarin, may release daidzein after metabolism. CONCLUSION This approach demonstrated the positive effects of PLRE on a diet-induced obesity mouse model and provided clues on the mode of action of PLRE at the molecular level.

Abstract
BACKGROUD Fangji Huangqi Tang (FHT) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula. Our previous work found that FHT could improve glomerular filtration function. The research on the effective materials basis of FHT was rarely reported. PURPOSE The effect indicators of glomerular filtration function were determined. The components in serum of FHT was detected and identified. The relationships between chemical spectra of serum and effect indicators were elucidated. STUDY DESIGN The paper was to study the underlying correlations between the chemical spectra and the protective effect of FHT on glomerulus to reveal the potential effective compounds in FHT. METHODS For the serum pharmacochemistry study, the biological samples were collected according to a time schedule designed carefully in advance. The fingerprint chromatograms of rat serum after oral administration of FHT were established by UHPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS technique. Meanwhile, in the pharmacodynamics research, the protective effects of FHT on glomerulonephritis were evaluated by detecting the contents of cystatin C (Cys C), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr). Then, the spectrum-effect relationships between UHPLC fingerprints and anti-adriamycin nephrosis activities were evaluated using canonical correlation analysis (CCA) statistical method. RESULTS As a result, 105 peaks were identified from rat serum samples, which turned out to be 26 original compounds of FHT as well as 79 metabolites. According to the CCA results, eleven components were finally found to be the main anti-adriamycin nephrosis components. CONCLUSIONS The model successfully discovered the spectrum-effect relationships of FHT, which showed a representative way to discover the primary active ingredients from the complex herbal medicine system.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Traditional Chinese medicine Radix Puerariae, the roots of Pueraria lobata (Wild.) Ohwi., has been widely used for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China for centuries. Isoflavonoids are believed the active components of this herb. AIM OF THIS STUDY The present study aims to investigate the brain penetration and pharmacokinetics of five active isoflavonoids in the ventricular CSF and plasma of rats after intravenous administration of a Pueraria isoflavonoids (PIF) extract, to better understand the active components of this herb for neuro-activities. MATERIAL AND METHODS Under anesthesia condition, SD rats (n=6) were successively suffered two surgeries for implanting cannulas at lateral ventricle and right jugular vein for brain microdialysis and blood collection, respectively. After recovery, the rats received intravenous dose of PIF at 80mg/kg and the concentrations of puerarin (PU), 3'-methoxypuerarin (MPU), 3'-hydroxypuerarin (HPU), daidzein (DA) and daidzein-8-C-apiosyl-(1-6)-glycoside (DAC) in the ventricular dialysate and plasma samples were determined using a ultra-fast liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method. RESULTS Complete concentration versus time profiles of the five components in plasma and four components except for HPU in ventricular CSF were obtained. After dosing, the average C0 values of PU, MPU, DA, DAC and HPU in plasma were estimated 6.53, 13.72, 1.54, 15.84 and 86.07µg/mL, and PU, MPU, DA and DAC were rapidly penetrated to the brain and reached to their Cmax of 521.52, 415.00, 74.34 and 380.03ng/mL in CSF at about 0.5-0.8h, respectively. The elimination t1/2 of PU, DA and DAC in CSF and plasma were no significant difference, while the t1/2 of MPU in ventricular CSF was longer than that in plasma which may attributable to the different physiological environment of central and peripheral compartments. The brain penetration index (AUCCSF/AUCplasma) was found to be about 9.29, 7.25, 11.96, and 4.21% for PU, MPU, DA, and DAC respectively. CONCLUSION PU, MPU, DA, DAC can quickly penetrate to the brain through the blood brain barrier (BBB) and might be responsible for the neuro-pharmacological activities of P. lobata.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Da-Huang-Fu-Zi-Tang (DHFZT) is a crucial TCM formula commonly used for the treatment of acute pancreatitis in Chinese clinical application. Our previous work found that DHFZT could act against pancreatic injury in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The goal of this paper was to study the underlying correlations between the chemical spectra and the protective effect of DHFZT on pancreatic acinar cell to reveal the real bioactive compounds in DHFZT. MATERIALS AND METHODS The fingerprint chromatograms of rat serum after oral administration of DHFZT were established by UHPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS technique. At the same time, the model of anti-acute pancreatitis on cells was established by adding 10(-7) mol/L cerulein to AR42J cell line, and the protective effects of the serum on pancreatic acinar cell from injury was evaluated by detecting the efficacy of amylase. Then, the spectrum-effect relationships between UHPLC fingerprints and anti-acute pancreatitis activities were evaluated using canonical correlation analysis (CCA) statistical method. The chromatogram separation was performed on a C18 reversed phase UHPLC column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 3.5 μm, Agilent), the column temperature was set at 35°C. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile with gradient elution. The serum samples were analyzed both in negative and positive ion mode. The mother and productive ions were scanned within the mass range of m/z 100-1200 and 50-1200, respectively. A thorough analysis of a great deal of information of the constituents in the rat serum was undertaken. The structure identification of the detected compounds was achieved by using high resolution MS values as well as the MS/MS fragments. RESULTS Eighteen peaks in rat serum after oral administration of DHFZT were detected within only 30 min recorded chromatograms. The structure of the 18 compounds were then given out, of which 10 were the original form of compounds absorbed from DHFZT, 8 were the metabolites of the compounds existed in rat serum. According to the CCA results, talatisamine, rhein glucoside, rhein isomer methylation, hypaconine, hydroxyl-chrysophanol, emodin glucuronide conjugation, and chrysophanol glucuronide conjugation were finally found to be the main anti-acute pancreatitis components in DHFZT. CONCLUSIONS The model presented in this paper successfully discovered the spectrum-effect relationships of DHFZT, which showed a representative way to discover the primary active ingredients from the complicated herbal drugs.
