Abstract
Background:
Danyikangtai powder, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula, shows
promise to become a novel drug candidate for the simultaneous treatment of chronic cholecystitis and
chronic pancreatitis. However, the pharmacokinetic behavior of Danyikangtai powder remains unclear.
Objective:
We investigated the comparative pharmacokinetics of four flavonoids in rats after oral administration
of Danyikangtai powder and three compatibilities.
Materials and Methods:
The comparative pharmacokinetics was studied by ultra-performance liquid
chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS). Chromatographic separation was performed
on a Universil XB-C18 column with a gradient mobile phase containing 0.1% (v/v) aqueous
formic acid and acetonitrile. All analytes and internal standard were quantitated in the multiple reaction
monitoring modes with a positive electrospray ionization interface.
Results and Discussion:
Danyikangtai powder and Scutellariae radix have similar pharmacokinetic
behaviors in rats after oral administration. However, the elimination of four flavonoids in rats after oral
administration of Danyikangtai powder was accelerated, which was possibly related to the reduction of
the potential hepatotoxicity of Scutellariae radix. The varying degrees of change in pharmacokinetic
parameters after oral administration of different herb combinations suggested that herb–herb interactions
occurred in vivo.
Conclusions:
This study will be helpful to reveal the safety, rational and mechanism of Danyikangtai
powder formula compatibility, thereby providing pre-clinical research data for its new drug development
and guidance for its rational clinical application.

Curr Drug Metab 2020; 21:969-978. [PMID: 33038908 DOI: 10.2174/1389200221666201009142418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2020] [Revised: 06/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND With significant clinical effects, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been attracting increasing interest of the world's scientific community. However, TCM contains immense amounts of chemical components. It is a great challenge to objectively evaluate the correlation between the in vivo process and the therapeutic effect of TCM. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize the recent investigation (from 2017 to 2019) on preclinical pharmacokinetics (PK) of TCM via liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). METHODS We reviewed the published articles regarding the PK of TCM by LC-MS/MS. In addition, we summarized information on PK parameter of bioactive components, single herb and traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. RESULTS The vast majority of literature on preclinical PK of TCM uses single oral administration, the biological matrix is mostly rat plasma, and the main PK parameters include AUC, Cmax, Tmax and T1/2, etc. Conclusion: Although LC-MS/MS can be used for high-throughput analysis, the characterization of in vivo processes of TCM still has a long way. With the advantages of high sensitivity, high specificity and simple operation, the increasingly mature LC-MS/MS technology will play an important role in the PK study of TCM.

Abstract
Oroxylin A, obtained from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, is a flavonoid with antitumor and other pharmacological activities. Our previous studies showed for the first time that it is mainly metabolized to oroxylin A sodium sulfonate by sulfotransferase enzymes in beagle dogs. In this study, rapid, universal, selective, and robust ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry methods were established and fully validated to quantitatively detect oroxylin A, oroxylin A 7-O-glucuronide, and oroxylin A sodium sulfonate in beagle dog plasma. The quantitative analysis for oroxylin A sodium sulfonate was reported for the first time. Plasma samples were processed with acetonitrile, a universal protein precipitant. Gradient elution was performed to resolve carryover effects and to achieve separation efficiency and sufficient chromatographic retention. The linear relationships of oroxylin A, oroxylin A 7-O-glucuronide, and oroxylin A sodium sulfonate in plasma were in the range of 2.0-500.0, 5.0-500.0, and 1.881-940.5 ng/mL, respectively. The assay method was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic study. This is the first paper that reveals the pharmacokinetic profile of oroxylin A, oroxylin A 7-O-glucuronide, and oroxylin A sodium sulfonate after single-dose intravenous and oral administration of Oroxylin A in beagle dogs.

Abstract
Wogonin, one of the main active ingredients of Scutellaria radix, is a kind of flavonoid compound. In the present study, we report that wogonin nanoparticles (Wog np) protect Isoproterenol (ISO) induced Myocardial Infarction (MI) rats. Nanoparticles of sizes less than 200 nm with spherical shape were prepared using Polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) respectively as polymer and stabilizer. Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups. Group 1 as a control group administered with physiological saline solution with 0.5 % carboxymethylcellulose (1 mL/day). Group 2 served as toxic group; rats received physiological saline solution with 0.5 % carboxymethylcellulose (1 mL/day) orally for 21 days Groups 3 and 4 received Wog np (25 and 50 mg/kg/day) orally for 21 days and on the 20th and 21 st days group 2, 3, and 4 were administered with ISO (85 mg/kg) through s.c. route at 24 h interval. pre-treatment with Wog np (25 and 50 mg/kg) could significantly reduce the cardiac infarct size, serum cardiac markers, lipid peroxidation product (MDA) and inflammatory markers as well as markedly upregulated the protein expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2)and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) to confer its strong cardioprotective activity against ISO induced myocardial damage.

Abstract
B-ring unsubstituted flavones (of which the most widely known are chrysin, baicalein, wogonin, and oroxylin A) are 2-phenylchromen-4-one molecules of which the B-ring is devoid of any hydroxy, methoxy, or other substituent. They may be found naturally in a number of herbal products used for therapeutic purposes, and several have been designed by researchers and obtained in the laboratory. They have generated interest in the scientific community for their potential use in a variety of pathologies, and understanding their pharmacokinetics is important for a grasp of their optimal use. Based on a comprehensive survey of the relevant literature, this paper examines their absorption (with deglycosylation as a preliminary step) and their fate in the body, from metabolism to excretion. Differences among species (inter-individual) and within the same species (intra-individual) variability have been examined based on the available data, and finally, knowledge gaps and directions of future research are discussed.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2019; 231:438-445. [PMID: 30445107 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2018.11.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2018] [Revised: 07/26/2018] [Accepted: 11/12/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Xiaochaihutang (XCHT), one of famous Chinese herbal prescription for treating Shaoyang symptom, has been used successfully in depressive disorders for many years. Our laboratory has demonstrated that XCHT remarkably alleviated various depressive behaviors induced by several depressive animal models, but previous studies only focused on one or several protein targets, lacked dynamic change and interrelation of proteins. Therefore, potential protein targets and mechanisms are required further systematic investigation. AIM OF THE STUDY To discover and assess the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) of hippocampus after oral administration of XCHT in corticosterone (CORT) induced model of depression by using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antidepressant effects of XCHT were assessed by two behavioral despair models (forced swimming test and tail suspension test) in CORT induced model of depression. The DEPs of hippocampus after XCHT treatment were investigated by iTRAQ analysis. Potential protein targets and mechanisms were assessed by gene ontology (GO), Kyoto encyclopedia of gene and genomes (KEGG) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. RESULTS Our data demonstrated XCHT could significantly improve depressive behaviors. A total of 241 DEPs were identified after XCHT treatment, including 68 up regulation and 173 down regulation proteins. GO enrichment results indicated that XCHT mainly regulated intracellular structural proteins involved in cellular response to stress, transferase activity and steroid hormone. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that endocytosis might be the principal pathway of XCHT on depression. PPI analysis predicted cell division cycle and apoptosis regulator protein 1 (Ccar1) and Calretinin (Calb2) might play the central roles in XCHT's antidepressant network. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that XCHT plays the important roles in antidepressant action by restoring DEPs, which results in the dysregulation of hippocampal neurogenesis, neurotransmitter and steroid hormone. The current results wish to provide novel perspectives for revealing the potential protein targets of XCHT on depression.
