Park J, Jeong JW, Roh JA, Lee BJ, Kim KI, Jung HJ. Efficacy and safety of Sipjeondaebo-tang for cancer-related fatigue: A systematic review and meta-analysis. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 337:118900. [PMID: 39368761 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 09/03/2024] [Accepted: 10/03/2024] [Indexed: 10/07/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Approximately 52% of patients with cancer experience cancer-related fatigue (CRF), which negatively impacts both prognosis and quality of life (QoL). CRF is characterized by exhaustion, which is linked to cancer or treatment. Sipjeondaebo-tang (SDT) is an herbal medicine that is effective in alleviating fatigue and potentially easing CRF; however, there is currently insufficient clinical or scientific evidence to support the efficacy of SDT in managing CRF. AIM OF THE STUDY We assessed the efficacy and safety of SDT for CRF by performing a systematic literature review and meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We collected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on CRF by searching nine databases, including EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, on November 30, 2023. Based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, two reviewers independently screened and selected the literature, followed by data extraction. We assessed the quality of the selected studies using version 2 of the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias tool. Review Manager software was used for the data synthesis. A meta-analysis was conducted when two or more studies shared comparable interventions and outcome measures. For all other cases, a qualitative analysis was performed. The certainty of evidence for each result was assessed employing the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation method. RESULTS This study contained eleven studies with a total of 754 participants. SDT significantly reduced CRF and improved QoL compared with the control group, both when used as an adjuvant therapy and as a monotherapy. Specifically, low-certainty evidence suggested that SDT, when used as an adjunctive therapy, could effectively reduce CRF, as indicated by a reduction in lack of strength (standardized mean difference = -1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI): -1.78 to -0.78, P < 0.00001). Additionally, moderate-certainty evidence indicated that SDT as an adjunctive therapy could improve QoL, as measured by Karnofsky Performance Status (mean difference = 4.67, 95% CI: 2.19 to 7.14, P = 0.0002). No serious adverse events occurred with SDT, whether it was used as an adjuvant therapy or as a monotherapy. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review elucidated the safety and efficacy of SDT in managing CRF. Nevertheless, the low quality of the included studies highlights the need for carefully planned large-scale RCTs.

Abstract
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a complex and perplexing medical disorder primarily characterized by persistent and debilitating fatigue, often accompanied by a constellation of symptoms, including weakness, dyspnea, arthromyalgia, sore throat, and disrupted sleep patterns. CFS is defined by its persistent or recurrent manifestation for a minimum duration of six months, marked by an enduring and unrelenting fatigue that remains refractory to rest. In recent decades, this condition has garnered significant attention within the medical community. While the precise etiology of CFS remains elusive, it is postulated to be multifactorial. CFS is potentially associated with various contributory factors such as infections, chronic stress, genetic predisposition, immune dysregulation, and psychosocial influences. The pathophysiological underpinnings of CFS encompass viral infections, immune system dysregulation, neuroendocrine aberrations, heightened oxidative stress, and perturbations in gut microbiota. Presently, clinical management predominantly relies on pharmaceutical interventions or singular therapeutic modalities, offering alleviation of specific symptoms but exhibiting inherent limitations. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interventions have emerged as a promising paradigm, demonstrating notable efficacy through their multimodal, multi-target, multi-pathway approach, and holistic regulatory mechanisms. These interventions effectively address the lacunae in contemporary medical interventions. This comprehensive review synthesizes recent advancements in the understanding of the etiological factors, pathophysiological mechanisms, and interventional strategies for CFS, drawing from a corpus of domestic and international literature. Its aim is to furnish valuable insights for clinicians actively involved in diagnosing and treating CFS, as well as for pharmaceutical researchers delving into innovative drug development pathways. Moreover, it seeks to address the intricate challenges confronted by clinical practitioners in managing this incapacitating condition.

Abstract
Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves contain various nutrients and bioactive compounds. The present study aimed to assess the anti-fatigue capacity of a flavonoids concentrate purified from M. oleifera Lam. leaves. The total flavonoids in the purified extract were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The mice were supplemented with purified M. oleifera Lam. leaf flavonoid-rich extract (MLFE) for 14 days. The weight-loaded forced swimming test was used for evaluating exercise endurance. The 90-min non-weight-bearing swimming test was carried out to assess biochemical biomarkers correlated to fatigue and energy metabolism. UPLC-MS/MS analysis identified 83 flavonoids from MLFE. MLFE significantly increased the swimming time by 60%. Serum lactate (9.9 ± 0.9 vs. 8.9 ± 0.7), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (8.8 ± 0.8 vs. 7.2 ± 0.5), and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) (2.4 ± 0.2 vs. 1.7 ± 0.3) were significantly elevated; phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), glucokinase (GCK), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) mRNA expression were significantly downregulated; and heme oxygenase 1 mRNA expression was significantly upregulated in muscle after swimming. MLFE supplement significantly decreased serum lactate (8.0 ± 1.0 vs. 9.9 ± 0.9), BUN (8.6 ± 0.4 vs. 8.9 ± 0.8), and NEFA (2.3 ± 0.4 vs. 2.4 ± 0.2) and increased the protein and mRNA expression of GCK, PEPCK, and Nrf2. The enhancement of glucose metabolism and antioxidant function by MLFE contributes partly to its anti-fatigue action.

Abstract
Fatigue is a common physiological state that affects normal human activities. Prolonged fatigue induces a variety of diseases and seriously affects human health, so it is imperative to discover nutritional dietary supplements and treatments without side effects, among which natural anti-fatigue polysaccharides have shown great potential. Polysaccharides, a class of biomolecules produced by a variety of organisms such as plants, animals, bacteria and algae, have attracted much attention in recent years due to their anti-fatigue activity and fewer side effects. This review summarizes the classification, dosage and experimental models of polysaccharides with anti-fatigue activity obtained from different natural sources. We also review the fatigue-relieving effects of these polysaccharides through mechanisms such as modulating oxidative damage, regulating energy metabolism and influencing intestinal flora, as well as the effects of molecular weights, monosaccharide compositions, structural features and chemical modifications of the polysaccharides on their anti-fatigue activities to support their potential application value in functional foods and pharmaceuticals. New valuable insights for future research on natural polysaccharides are also presented in the field of natural production of bio-based functional materials, functional foods and therapeutic agents.

Abstract
This study aims to clarify the specific anti-fatigue components of Schizophyllum commune (S.commune) and analyze its potential anti-fatigue mechanism. The main anti-fatigue active ingredient of S.commune was locked in n-butanol extract (SPE-n) by activity evaluation. Twelve compounds were identified by high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). The anti-fatigue effect of morusin is the most predominant among these 12 ingredients. The determination of biochemical indices showed that morusin could increase liver glycogen reserves, improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes in liver, and reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in muscle tissue, thereby reducing myocyte damage. Further studies revealed that morusin could reduce the level of oxidative stress by activating Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, thus alleviating the fatigue of mice caused by exhaustive exercise. The current findings provide a theoretical basis for the development of natural anti-fatigue functional food.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional oriental medicines (TOMs) are a medical practice that follows different philosophies to pharmaceutical drugs and they have been in use for many years in different parts of the world. In this study, by integrating TOM formula and pharmaceutical drugs, we performed target space analysis between TOM formula target space and small-molecule drug target space. To do so, we manually curated 46 TOM formulas that are known to treat Anxiety, Diabetes mellitus, Epilepsy, Hypertension, Obesity, and Schizophrenia. Then, we employed Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity (ADMET) properties such as human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG) inhibition, Carcinogenicity, and AMES toxicity to filter out potentially toxic herbal ingredients. The target space analysis was performed between TOM formula and small-molecule drugs: (i) both are known to treat the same disease, and (ii) each known to treat different diseases. Statistical significance of the overlapped target space between the TOM formula and small-molecule drugs was measured using support value. Support value distribution from randomly selected target space was calculated to validate the result. Furthermore, the Si-Wu-Tang (SWT) formula and published literature were also used to evaluate our results. RESULT This study tried to provide scientific evidence about the effectiveness of the TOM formula to treat the main indication with side effects that could come from the use of small-molecule drugs. The target space analysis between TOM formula and small-molecule drugs in which both are known to treat the same disease shows that many targets overlapped between the two medications with a support value of 0.84 and weighted average support of 0.72 for a TOM formula known to treat Epilepsy. Furthermore, support value distribution from randomly selected target spaces in this analysis showed that the number of overlapped targets is much higher between TOM formula and small-molecule drugs that are known to treat the same disease than in randomly selected target spaces. Moreover, scientific literature was also used to evaluate the medicinal efficacy of individual herbs. CONCLUSION This study provides an evidence to the effectiveness of a TOM formula to treat the main indication as well as side effects associated with the use of pharmaceutical drugs, as demonstrated through target space analysis.

Abstract
Polygonatum kingianum Coll & Hemsl is an important Chinese medicine used for enhancing physical function and anti-fatigue, and polysaccharides (PKPs) are considered as the main bioactive components. However, the mechanisms through which PKPs exert their anti-fatigue effects are not fully understood. This study aimed more comprehensively to explore the anti-fatigue mechanisms of PKPs, focusing on metabolism, protein expression, and gut flora, by using exhaustive swimming experiments in mice. Results showed a significant increase in the exhaustive swimming time of the mice treated with PKPs, especially in the high-dose group (200 mg/kg/day). Further studies showed that PKPs remarkably improves several fatigue-related physiological indices. Additionally, 16S rRNA sequence analysis showed that PKPs increased antioxidant bacteria (e.g., g_norank_f_Muribaculaceae) and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), while reducing the abundance of harmful bacteria (e.g., g_Escherichia-Shigella and g_Helicobacter). PKPs also mitigated oxidative stress through activating the NRF2/HO-1 signaling pathway, and promoted energy metabolism by upregulating the expression of AMPK/PGC-1α/TFAM signaling pathway proteins. This research may offer theoretical support for incorporating PKPs as a novel dietary supplement in functional foods targeting anti-fatigue properties.

Abstract
Kaempferol is a natural flavonoid with reported bioactivities found in many fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs. However, its effects on exercise performance and muscle metabolism remain inconclusive. The present study investigated kaempferol's effects on improving exercise performance and potential mechanisms in vivo and in vitro. The grip strength, exhaustive running time, and distance of mice were increased in the high-dose kaempferol group (p < 0.01). Also, kaempferol reduced fatigue-related biochemical markers and increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) related to antioxidant capacity. Kaempferol also increased the glycogen and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content in the liver and skeletal muscle, as well as glucose in the blood. In vitro, kaempferol promoted glucose uptake, protein synthesis, and mitochondrial function and decreased oxidative stress in both 2D and 3D C2C12 myotube cultures. Moreover, kaempferol activated the PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways in the C2C12 cells. It also upregulated the key targets of glucose uptake, mitochondrial function, and protein synthesis. These findings suggest that kaempferol improves exercise performance and alleviates physical fatigue by increasing glucose uptake, mitochondrial biogenesis, and protein synthesis and by decreasing ROS. Kaempferol's molecular mechanism may be related to the regulation of the PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways.

Abstract
RATIONALE At present, there are limitations to the treatment of stiff person syndrome (SPS). Current treatments are still ineffective or financially burdensome for some patients, so it is imperative to explore more appropriate treatments for patients. This is a case report of a SPS with a more significant effect of combined Chinese and Western medicine, which may provide new treatment ideas for other patients. PATIENT CONCERNS This patient presented with episodes of stiffness and pain in the lower back and lower extremities. His electromyography shows continued activation of normal motor units in the paraspinal and abdominal muscles. However, relevant laboratory tests including glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody and Amphiphysin antibody were negative. After a period of treatment including clonazepam, baclofen, prednisone and intravenous immunoglobulin, this patient experiences a shortened maintenance period of medication, accompanied by symptoms such as emotional anxiety and cognitive decline, which severely affects his life. DIAGNOSES This patient was diagnosed with SPS. INTERVENTIONS In May 2022 the patient decided to combine Chinese medicine for simultaneous treatment. OUTCOMES During the period of simultaneous treatment with Chinese and Western medicine, the patient experienced remission of clinical symptoms, reduction of concomitant symptoms and improved quality of life. CONCLUSION A combination of Western and Chinese medicine was effective in relieving this patient pain and stiffness and reducing the patient anxiety. Combined Chinese and Western medicine treatment may be able to bring better results to more patients with stiff person syndrome.

Abstract
Background American ginseng has an obvious anti-fatigue effect, but the effective material basis is still unclear. The spectrum-effect relationship is a scientific method that studies the correlations between chemical spectra and pharmacological effect. Objective To reveal the real bioactive compounds in American ginseng saponin (AGS) based on a study of the underlying correlations between these compounds' occurrence in rat serum after their intake of AGS and the anti-fatigue effect of AGS. Methods We utilized ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with quadrupole and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF-MS) to analyze the extract of AGS and its constituents in serum after oral administration in rats. The anti-fatigue effect of AGS in rats was measured using the time weight-bearing swimming technique, the content of blood urea nitrogen, hepatic glycogen, and blood lactic acid. The relationship between the peak area values in fingerprints from rat serum and pharmacodynamic parameters of AGS was established using correlation analysis with partial least square regression (PLSR) method and gray correlation method. Results We detected and identified 22 compounds from extract, and 8 prototype components from serum. Through PLSR and gray correlation method, it was found that the ginsenosides Re, Rb1, and Rb2 were significantly positively related to the pharmacodynamic data. Conclusions Based on the spectrum-effect relationship, PLSR and gray correlation method can be used to screen for the anti-fatigue components available in AGS. Such an approach is of practical significance as it provides an effective means for exploring the material basis for the efficacy of American ginseng, particularly as an anti-fatigue agent.

Abstract
Hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus) is a kind of abundant marine fish, and its by-products contain rich protein resources, which can be better exploited and utilized in the food industry. In this study, the glycoprotein of hairtail by-products (GHB) was extracted using ultrasonic-assisted salt solution extraction with hairtail by-products as the raw material. The anti-fatigue effect of GHB was explored by mouse behavior experiments (shuttle box test, open field test and load swimming test). The results showed that the active escape times of the GHB group increased compared with the blank group in the shuttle box test, and the GHB group stayed in the central area for more time in the open field test. At the same time, the exhaustive swimming time of high-dose-group mice was 122.01% longer than that of the blank control group. GHB can improve the memory learning ability and activity of mice, and exert its anti-fatigue effect by eliminating excessive free radicals, slowing the metabolism of amino acids and proteins, and increasing glycogen reserves. This study provides a theoretical basis for the function mechanism of glycoprotein of hairtail by-products and the development of supplementary material in functional foods.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28093943.

Abstract
Macamides are a class of amide alkaloids that are only found in maca and are widely considered to be its bioactive marker compounds. More than thirty macamide monomers have been identified in recent years; however, it is difficult to obtain a single macamide monomer from the maca plant because of their similar structures and characteristics. We used the carbodiimide condensation method (CCM) to efficiently synthesize five typical macamides, including N-benzyl-hexadecanamide (NBH), N-benzyl-9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecenamide, N-(3-methoxybenzyl)-9Z,12Z-octadecenamide, N-benzyl-9Z,12Z-octadecenamide, and N-(3-methoxybenzyl)-9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecadienamide. All the synthesized macamides were purified by a one-step HPLC with a purity of more than 95%. NBH is the most abundant macamide monomer in natural maca, and it was selected to evaluate the anti-fatigue effects of macamides. The results indicated that NBH could enhance the endurance capacity of mice by increasing liver glycogen levels and decreasing blood urea nitrogen, lactate dehydrogenase, blood ammonia, and blood lactic acid levels. Macamides might be the active substances that give maca its anti-fatigue active function.

Abstract
Dietary fibers (DFs) are normally consumed together with polyphenols. Further, both of them are two kinds of popular functional ingredients. However, studies have shown that the soluble DFs and polyphenols are antagonistic to their bioactivity due to the potential loss of the physical properties that drive their benefits. In this study, konjac glucomannan (KGM), dihydromyricetin (DMY), and KGM-DMY complex were fed to mice on normal chow diet (NCD) and high fat diet (HFD). The body fat content, serum lipid metabolites and time to exhaustion in swimming were compared. It was found that KGM-DMY had synergistic effects on the reduction of serum triglyceride, total glycerol content in HFD-fed mice, and extension of time to exhaustion in swimming in NCD-fed mice. The underlying mechanism was explored by antioxidant enzyme activity measurement, energy production quantification, and gut microbiota 16S rDNA profiling. KGM-DMY synergistically reduced the lactate dehydrogenase activity, malondialdehyde production, and alanine aminotransferase activities after swimming. Moreover, superoxide dismutase activities, glutathione peroxidase activities, glycogen and adenosine triphosphate contents were synergistically enhanced by KGM-DMY complex. In addition, according to gut microbiota gene expression analyses, KGM-DMY enhanced the ratio of Bacteroidota/Firmicutes and the abundance of Oscillospiraceae and Romboutsia. The abundance of Desulfobacterota was also reduced. To our knowledge, this was the first experiment that indicated that the complex of polyphenols and DF have synergistic effects in obesity prevention and fatigue resistance. The study provided a perspective for the formulation of obese preventive nutritional supplement in the food industry.

Abstract
Fatigue is related to a variety of chronic diseases and has become a hot research topic in recent years. Various bioactive components have been extracted from hairtail fish (Trichiurus lepturus); however, none of these studies involved the anti-fatigue activity of hairtail fish glycoprotein (HGP). Thus, antioxidant experiments were conducted in vitro, and the anti-fatigue activity of HGP was further evaluated in BALB/c mice. The effects of HGP on the behavior of BALB/c mice were verified by classical behavioral experiments, and the indicators related to anti-fatigue activity were detected. The results showed that the antioxidant capacity in vitro of HGP increased gradually in the concentration range of 10 to 100 mg/mL. HGP improved the exercise ability of the mice. HGP was also found to significantly (p < 0.05) reduce the serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), blood lactic acid (BLA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatine kinase (CK). The contents of liver glycogen (LG) and muscle glycogen (MG) were also significantly (p < 0.05) increased by HGP. Malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the serum and brains of the mice was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced and catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were significantly (p < 0.05) increased by HGP, especially in the middle- and high-dose groups. These results enhance our understanding of the anti-fatigue function of HGP and lay an important foundation for the further development and utilization of hairtail fish resources.

Abstract
The high Fischer (F) ratio hemp peptide (HFHP) was prepared by enrichment using activated carbon adsorption, ultrafiltration, and Sephadex G-25 gel filtration chromatography. The OD220/OD280 ratio reached 47.1 with a molecular weight distribution from 180 to 980 Da, a peptide yield up to 21.7 %, and the F value was 31.5. HFHP had high scavenging ability of DPPH, hydroxyl free radicals, and superoxide. Mice experiments showed that the HFHP increased the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. The HFHP had no effect on the body weight of mice, but prolonged their weight-bearing swimming time. The lactic acid, serum urea nitrogen, and malondialdehyde of the mice after swimming was reduced, and the liver glycogen increased. The correlation analysis indicated that the HFHP had significant anti-oxidation and anti-fatigue properties.

Abstract
A third of the world's population suffers from unexplained fatigue, hugely impacting work learning, efficiency, and health. The fatigue development may be a concomitant state of a disease or the side effect of a drug, or muscle fatigue induced by intense exercise. However, there are no authoritative guides or clinical medication recommendations for various fatigue classifications. Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) are used as dietary supplements or healthcare products with specific anti-fatigue effects. Thus, TCM may be a potential treatment for fatigue. In this review, we outline the pathogenesis of fatigue, awareness of fatigue in Chinese and western medicine, pharmacodynamics mechanism, and substances. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive summary of fatigue and forecast the potential effect of novel herbal-based medicines against fatigue.

Abstract
Background Fatigue is one of the most prevalent symptoms, increasing worldwide with no specific medication for fatigue. Iranian traditional medicine (ITM), or Persian medicine, is a reliable source for discovering natural medicine for diseases and their symptoms. Myrtus communis L. (Myrtle), Malus domestica Borkh. (Apple), and Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & L. M. Perry (Clove) have been utilized as brain and heart tonics in ITM. Based on ITM, cardiac tonics decrease fatigue by enhancing heart function and increasing blood flow to tissues. These plants, particularly myrtle berries, have been utilized as potent enlivening agents that reduce mental fatigue. Objectives This study aims to investigate the effects of aqueous extracts of these plants on weight-loaded forced swimming (WLFS) tests and three doses of aqueous myrtle extract in an animal model of chronic sleep deprivation-induced fatigue. Methods Five groups of rats (n = 6) were evaluated: Sham, control, apple-treated, clove-treated, and myrtle-treated groups. After 28 days of treatment, the WLFS test was performed, and swimming time was recorded. Subsequently, central fatigue was induced in rats by chronic sleep deprivation for 21 days. Five groups of rats (n = 6) were evaluated: Sham, control (sleep-deprived, which received water), and three sleep-deprived + treatment groups, which received aqueous myrtle extract (350, 700, and 1000 mg/kg). An open field test on the 20th day and a WLFS test on the 21st day were performed. Results The myrtle berries significantly increased glucose, reduced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, and enhanced swimming time. Fatigue caused by chronic sleep deprivation increased malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and LDH while decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD), glucose, and swimming time. In all treatment groups, SOD levels and swimming time were increased, whereas MDA, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels were decreased significantly. Only the 1000 mg/kg dose significantly reduced LDH levels (P < 0.001). The treatment significantly improved the velocity and the total distance moved in the open-field test. Conclusions According to the results, the myrtle berries reduced fatigue in two animal models, probably due to its phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and polysaccharides.

Abstract
The polysaccharides were isolated from apple pomace by hot-water extraction, and their anti-fatigue activity was evaluated in C2C12 muscle myoblasts and male Kunming mice. The purified polysaccharides from apple pomace (PAP) have a molecular weight of 1.74 × 105 Da and were composed of mannose, rhamnose, glucose, galactose and arabinose. In C2C12 myoblasts, PAP showed no cytotoxicity in the concentrations of 0-300 μg/ml. PAP treatment increased the glycogen content, while the ATP content was not affected in C2C12 myoblasts. Further investigation found that the activity and gene expression of glycogen synthase, rather than glycogen phosphorylase, were upregulated by PAP treatment. The studies in vivo showed that PAP treatment did not affect the food intake and weight again in mice. Importantly, PAP prolonged the exhaustive swimming time, increased hepatic and skeletal muscle glycogen levels, and effectively inhibited the accumulation of blood lactic and blood urea nitrogen in mice. Taken together, the results suggested that PAP exhibit anti-fatigue activity in vitro and in vivo through increasing glycogen content.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Fatigue is a manifestation of sub-health status, which causes serious negative effects in daily life. The antioxidant properties of crocin have been widely investigated in many diseases. However, no correlation between crocin and fatigue was reported. Objective: To verify the anti-fatigue efficacy of crocin in swimming-induced exhaustive time. Materials and Methods: In this study, mice were treated with crocin for 28 days to assess its anti-fatigue efficacy. Exhaustive time, fatigue-relevant biochemical indices, inflammatory cytokines, energy metabolism indicators, oxidation parameters, and the NRF-2/HO-1 pathway were analyzed to explore evidence of crocin in high-intensity exercise. Results: Our research indicated that crocin dramatically extended swimming-induced exhaustive time. In strenuous swimming, crocin clearly eliminated BLA and SUN to maintain internal environment homeostasis, while it markedly improved glycogen concentrations in the muscles and liver to promote energy reserves. Moreover, crocin visibly improved the inflammatory reaction, as represented by reductions in TNF-a and IL-6, promoting endurance capacity. In the muscles, crocin noticeably enhanced SDH and Na+K+-ATP activities to improve energy metabolism in strenuous swimming. Lastly, crocin markedly improved SOD and CAT activities via the NRF-2/HO-1 pathway to defend against oxidative stress-induced fatigue. Conclusions: Crocin provides oxidation resistance and can be developed into anti-fatigue nutriments. Evidence level II; Comparative prospective study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Corn peptides (CPs) are rich in branched-chain amino acids such as leucine and have a variety of biological activities such as antioxidant and improved lipid distribution. In this article, we prepared CPs by enzymatic digestion of corn proteins and evaluated their anti-fatigue activity. RESULTS We evaluated the anti-fatigue effect of CPs through an exhaustive swimming experiment. The results showed that CPs were able to significantly reduce the rate of body weight gain and prolong the duration of exhaustive swimming. Besides, CPs reduced blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels after exercise, while they significantly increased muscle glycogen and liver glycogen stores. They reduced muscle cell damage from exercise. In addition, CPs were effective in increasing AMPK, PGC-1α and PI3K protein expression levels and promoting Akt phosphorylation. Correlation analysis showed that CPs increased the abundance of probiotics such as Lactobacillus and Akkermansia in the gut microflora. CONCLUSION CPs, which enhanced exercise performance in mice and could modulate gut microbial composition, had significant anti-fatigue activity. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the protective effect of Cuscuta chinensis Lam. polysaccharides (PCCL) on 5-fluorouracil-(5-FU)-induced intestinal mucositis (IM) in mice. Methods: PCCL was orally administered at a dose of 20 mg·kg–1 for 7 days and its protective effect on 5-FU-induced IM (5-FU, 50 mg·kg–1 for 5 days) was evaluated by monitoring changes in body weight, degree of diarrhea, levels of tissue inflammatory factors (tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 6, and interleukin 1β levels), apoptosis rates, and the expression levels of caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2. Results: The severity of mucosal injury (as reflected by body weight changes, degree of diarrhea, height of villi, and damage to crypts) was significantly attenuated by PCCL administration. PCCL also reduced the levels of tissue inflammatory factors, the apoptosis rate, and the expression of caspase-3 and Bax, and increased Bcl-2 expression. Conclusions: PCCL administration may be significantly protective against 5-FU-induced IM by inhibiting apoptosis and regulating the abnormal inflammation associated with it.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioactive protein hydrolysates and peptides are believed to help counteract and ameliorate physical fatigue. Fermented soybean protein peptides (FSPPs) were prepared by protease hydrolysis and microbial fermentation. The present study aimed to evaluate the anti-fatigue properties of FSPPs. RESULTS The forced swimming time in the FSPP group was 35.78% longer than the control group, the oxygen-resistant survival time of the FSPP group was significantly prolonged and the prolongation rate was 31.00%. In addition, FSPPs decreased the lactic acid (LD), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatine kinase (CK) concentration by 27.47%, 25.93% and 21.70%, respectively, after treatment, while increasing the levels of liver glycogen and muscle glycogen by 93.35% and 67.31%, respectively. FSPPs can significantly increase gut microbiota diversity and regulate the species richness of gut microbiota. The results of real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting showed that FSPPs activate p-AMPK/PGC1-α and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways. CONCLUSION These results indicate that treatment with FSPPs induces anti-fatigue effects, which may be due to the mediating muscle protein synthesis and participation in skeletal muscle hypertrophy, providing energy for muscle cells. FSPPs may have potential applications in the food industry as functional material additives. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

[PMID: 35131955 PMCID: PMC9628812 DOI: 10.4014/jmb.2111.11020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Revised: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Notoginsenoside R1 and ginsenoside Rg1 are the main active ingredients of Panax notoginseng, exhibiting anti-fatigue, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and other activities. In a previous study, a GH39 β-xylosidase Xln-DT was responsible for the bioconversion of saponin, a natural active substance with a xylose group, with high selectivity for cleaving the outer xylose moiety of notoginsenoside R1 at the C-6 position, producing ginsenoside Rg1 with potent anti-fatigue activity. The optimal bioconversion temperature, pH, and enzyme dosage were obtained by optimizing the transformation conditions. Under optimal conditions (pH 6.0, 75°C, enzyme dosage 1.0 U/ml), 1.0 g/l of notoginsenoside R1 was converted into 0.86 g/l of ginsenoside Rg1 within 30 min, with a molar conversion rate of approximately 100%. Furthermore, the in vivo anti-fatigue activity of notoginsenoside R1 and ginsenoside Rg1 were compared using a suitable rat model. Compared with the control group, the forced swimming time to exhaustion was prolonged in mice by 17.3% in the Rg1 high group (20 mg/kg·d). Additionally, the levels of hepatic glycogen (69.9-83.3% increase) and muscle glycogen (36.9-93.6% increase) were increased. In the Rg1 group, hemoglobin levels were also distinctly increased by treatment concentrations. Our findings indicate that treatment with ginsenoside Rg1 enhances the anti-fatigue effects. In this study, we reveal a GH39 β-xylosidase displaying excellent hydrolytic activity to produce ginsenoside Rg1 in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Abstract
Supplementing amino acids was proven to relieve fatigue caused by exercise. This study explored the antifatigue effects of compound amino acid capsules (CAAC) on rats undergoing the forced swimming test (FST). CAAC augmented the endurance of FST in rats and alleviated the damage of skeletal muscle tissue and reduced the content of biochemical indicators in the serum. Furthermore, CAAC prevented skeletal muscle dysfunction in FST rats by modulating inflammation and oxidation reactions. After the treatment with CAAC, apoptosis and apoptosis-related protein and p-p65 were weakened, while the levels of SIRT1 and SIRT1/PGC-1α/Nrf2 pathway-related proteins were enhanced. The antifatigue properties of CAAC were associated with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities, which were realized by activating the SIRT1/PGC-1α/Nrf2 pathway.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Radix Rehmanniae (RR) is the tuber root of Rehmannia glutionsa Libosch, which was firstly recorded in Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica (⟪⟫). RR is a non-toxic and wide used traditional Chinese medicine. RR has the effect of clearing heat, generating essence, cooling blood, stopping bleeding, nourishing yin and blood, and filling marrow. It is used in clinic in the form of processed decoction pieces, including Dry Radix Rehmnniae (DRR) and Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata (RRP). The application of RR in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescriptions can treat various diseases, such as anemia, irregular menstruation, deficiency of liver yin, renal failure and so on. AIM OF REVIEW This paper aims to provide a comprehensive and productive review of RR, which mainly contains botanical characteristics, processing methods, traditional application, chemical composition, quality control and pharmacological action. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature search was conducted through the Web of Science, Baidu Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, CNKI, and WanFang DATA using the keywords "Radix Rehmnniae", "Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata", "processing", "clinical application", "chemical composition", "quality control", and "pharmacological action". In addition, information was collected from relevant textbooks, reviews, and documents. RESULTS RR is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine with clinical value and rich resources. More than 100 components have been isolated and identified from RR. It has multiple pharmacological actions, such as hemostasis, antioxidation, anti-osteoporosis, lowering blood sugar, improving renal function, anti-inflammation, protecting neuronal function, antidepression and anti-anxiety. DRR and RRP are two different processed products of RR. After processing, there are great changes in property, taste, efficacy, clinical application, chemical composition and pharmacological action. At present, identifying chemical constituents of RR and its medicinal value has been deeply studied. However, there is a lack of research on the reasons for the differences in pharmacological effects between DRR and RRP. The reasons for these differences need to be further verified. Catalpol, the active component of RR, has been studied extensively in the literature, but the pharmacological effects of catalpol cannot represent the pharmacological effects of the whole RR. In the future, effective components such as rehmannioside D, polysaccharide, total glycosides, and effective parts in RR need to be further studied and developed. The pharmacodynamic material basis and mechanism of RR need to be further discussed. The scientific connotation and processing methods of RRP need to be studied and standardized.

Abstract
Fatigue is a common physiological phenomenon caused by many complicated factors. Excessive fatigue will lead to a series of uncomfortable reactions and damage body health. Panax notoginseng leaves (PNL) is a new resource food that good for soothing nerves, nourishing the heart, and strengthening the spleen. Microbial fermentation could increase the content of bio-ingredients and produce new active ingredients. However, the effect of fermented P. notoginseng leaves (FPNL) on antifatigue and the molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Thus, in this study, we evaluated the antifatigue effect of co-fermented P. notoginseng leaves by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Bacillus subtilis in-vitro and in-vivo, and its mechanism was further elucidated. The results showed that FPNL exhibited higher saponins, organic phenolic acids content, and antioxidant activity than PNL. FPNL improved ISO-induced H9c2 myocardial cell damage by alleviating apoptosis (modulating Bax and Bcl-2 protein expression) and reducing antioxidant activity in-vitro. Moreover, in-vivo experiment showed that FPNL significantly prolonged the weight-loading swimming time of mice. After gavaged FPNL, the levels of liver glycogen (LG) and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity were increased in mice. In contrast, the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), lactate acid, and malondialdehyde (MDA) were decreased. In summary, our results indicated that FPNL showed a good antifatigue effect in-vivo and in-vitro.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic metabolic skeletal disease which can lead to reduction in bone mass and increased risk of bone fracture due to the microstructural degradation. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been applied in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis for a long time. Terpenoids, a class of natural products that are rich in TCM, have been widely studied for their therapeutic efficacy on bone resorption, osteogenesis, and concomitant inflammation. Terpenoids can be classified in four categories by structures, monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, diterpenoids, and triterpenoids. In this review, we comprehensively summarize all the currently known TCM-derived terpenoids in the treatment of OP. In addition, we discuss the possible mechanistic-of-actions of all four category terpenoids in anti-OP and assess their therapeutic potential for OP treatment.

Abstract
In this paper, cascade membrane technology was utilized to classify polysaccharides from Ganoderma lucidum (GLPs). The properties and antifatigue activity of graded polysaccharides were identified and compared. GLPs were separated using cascade ultrafiltration membranes of 100 kDa, 10 kDa and 1 kDa in sequence. The molecular weights of polysaccharides in these GLP fractions were approximately 322.0 kDa, 18.8 kDa and 6.4 kDa, and all polysaccharides were in active β-configurations. This showed that all graded GLPs could elongate swimming time, improve endurance and promote fatigue recovery, especially polysaccharides with molecular weights above 10 kDa. This demonstrated that GLPs could decrease the activities of SUN and CK and the levels of MDA and BLA. They also increased the level of Gly, accelerated fat transformation, and improved the activities of GPx, SOD and LDH in all treated mice. Accordingly, GLPs above 10 kDa might be potential agents with antifatigue activity.

Abstract
Several publications report that octacosanol (OCT) has different biological functions. This study was designed to evaluate the antifatigue effect and molecular mechanism of octacosanol (200 mg/(kg day)) in forced exercise-induced fatigue models of trained male C57BL/6 mice. Results showed that octacosanol ameliorated the mice's autonomic activities, forelimb grip strength, and swimming endurance, and the levels of liver glycogen (LG), muscle glycogen (MG), blood lactic acid (BLA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were also regulated. Gene analysis results showed that treatment with OCT upregulated 29 genes, while 38 genes were downregulated in gastrocnemius tissue. Gene ontology (GO) analyses indicated that these genes enriched functions in relation to myofibril, contractile fiber, and calcium-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) activity. Octacosanol supplementation significantly adjusted the messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression levels related to fatigue performance. Octacosanol has an observably mitigating effect in exercise-induced fatigue models, and its molecular mechanism may be related to the regulation of tripartite motif-containing 63 (Trim63), periaxin (Prx), calcium voltage-gated channel subunit α1 H (Cacna1h), and myosin-binding protein C (Mybpc3) expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To estimate the anti-fatigue and antioxidative effects of water and alcohol extracts from Diaphragma juglandis (DJ), H2 O2 -treated HepG2 cells were used as an in vitro model to determine the total antioxidant capacities of these two extracts, and behavioral tests on mice and biochemical assay were performed via in vivo experiments. RESULTS The results indicate that both extracts possess remarkable HepG2 protective capacities and were capable of scavenging 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) similar to vitamin C. Furthermore, they could significantly prolong the bar climbing time and force swimming time, as well as decrease the serum urea nitrogen and increase the lactate dehydrogenase level and glycogen content. These extracts could also improve the activities of total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. CONCLUSION In conclusion, both water and alcohol extracts from DJ showed good performance with respect to anti-fatigue and could be a potential antioxidant additive in the field of functional foods. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In the present study, we explored the anti-fatigue activity and its potential mechanism of a purified Polygonatum cyrtonema polysaccharide (PCP) on mice using weight-loaded swimming test. Results showed that PCP remarkably prolonged the exhaustive swimming time of mice when compared with normal control group. Meanwhile, PCP decreased serum levels of lactic acid (LA), blood uric nitrogen (BUN), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA), and increased the contents of liver glycogen, muscle glycogen and muscle ATP. These results revealed that PCP had good anti-fatigue ability. The histomorphologic analysis showed that PCP increased the cross-section area of the muscle fibers. Furthermore, PCP significantly enhanced the protein levels of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), phosphor-Smad1, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and osteocalcin (OC) in skeleton. Similar variation was also observed in the expression of osteocalcin signaling mediators of phosphorylated cAMP-response element binding protein (p-CREB) and phosphorylated hormone-sensitive lipase (p-HSL) in skeletal muscle. These results suggested that PCP resisted fatigue possibly via regulating osteocalcin signaling.

Abstract
Context: The Chinese medicinal materials originate from animals, plants, or minerals must undergo appropriate treatment before use as decoction pieces. Processing of Chinese medicines with liquid excipients is a pharmaceutical technique that transforms medicinal raw materials into decoction pieces which are significantly different from the original form. During processing, significant changes occur in chemical constituents, which inevitably affects clinical efficacy. At present, the liquid materials in processing mainly involve wine, vinegar, honey, saline water, ginger juice, herbal juice, etc.Objective: This review introduces the typical methods of liquid excipients processing, summarizes the influence on chemical composition, pharmacological efficacy, and expounds the ways and mechanisms of liquid excipients to change the properties of drugs, enhance the efficacy, eliminate or reduce toxicity and adverse reaction.Methods: English and Chinese literature from 1986 to 2020 was collected from databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Elsevier, Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2015, and CNKI (Chinese). Liquid excipients, processing, pharmacological effects, synergism, chemical constitution, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) were used as the key words.Results: Liquid excipients play a key role in the application of TCM. Processing with proper liquid excipients can change the content of toxic or active components by physical or chemical transformation, decrease or increase drug dissolution, alter drug pharmacokinetics, or exert their own pharmacological effects. Thus, processing with liquid excipients is essential to ensure the safety and efficacy of TCM in clinic.Conclusion: This article could be helpful for researchers who are interested in traditional Chinese herbs processed with liquid excipients.

Abstract
Bakery products made by cereal and edible fungi powder have a unique flavor and health benefits, dramatically enhancing the nutritional value of the products. In this study, we investigated the antifatigue effect of a novel Tricholoma matsutake cookie (TMC) by the exhaustive swimming test. Male Kunming ICR mice were randomly divided into seven groups (each group, n = 10), fed with saline, ordinary cookies (4, 8, 16 g/kg B.W./day), and TMC (4, 8, 16 g/kg B.W./day) by gavage. After 30-day administration, the weight-loaded swimming test was carried out on the mice to evaluate the antifatigue effect of TMC. In comparison with the effect of ordinary cookies, the intake of TMC significantly prolonged the exhaustive swimming time of mice and increased the level of muscle glycogen and liver glycogen, accompanied by the reduction of lactic acid and urea nitrogen level in serum. Additionally, TMC dramatically improved the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in serum and largely decreased the level of malondialdehyde. All in all, TMC could enforce exhaustive swimming tolerance, accelerate the decomposition of sports-related metabolites such as lactic acid and urea nitrogen, and increase the activity of the antioxidant enzyme, thereby improving sports-related energy storage and relieving fatigue. Our findings broadened the application of T. matsutake in the processing of bakery products and provided the theoretical basis and technical support for the development of antifatigue products. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this study, we investigated the antifatigue effect of a novel Tricholoma matsutake cookie by the exhaustive swimming test. Collectively, the results of the present study suggested that the cookies fortified with T. matsutake could be considered as an antifatigue bakery product. Furthermore, our findings broadened the application of T. matsutake in the processing of bakery products and provided the theoretical basis and technical support for the development of antifatigue products.

[PMID: 32984958 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.13461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2020] [Revised: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 08/13/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
The purple perilla (Perilla frutescens L. Britt.) seed peptides (PPSP) were obtained and their improvement of muscle synthesis and exercise performance was investigated in this work. Results showed that the weight-average molecular weight of the PPSP was 869 Dalton. The PPSP were rich in branched-chain amino acids (18.82 g/100 g) and anti-fatigue amino acids, including glutamate (Glu), aspartic acid (Asp), and arginine (Arg). After the administration of PPSP at 1.2 g kg-1 day-1 for 4 weeks, the muscle coefficient and muscle fiber thickness in mice displayed a distinct (p < .05) increase via the upregulation of myogenic differentiation (MyoD) and myogenin (MyoG). The improved muscle strength and exercise tolerance were also observed. Simultaneously, the levels of the biochemical blood markers associated with fatigue and the glycogen degradation in liver and muscle were significantly (p < .05) suppressed. These results suggested that PPSP could effectively promote muscle synthesis and ameliorate exercise fatigue. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Purple perilla is an annual herbal plant and widely grown in Asian countries as an important crop and food. It is believed that the protein content of purple perilla seeds can reach 23.7%, and the protein is rich in essential amino acids. However, the information about the beneficial effects of their proteins or peptides on muscle synthesis and anti-exercise fatigue were still limited. The present results discovered that the PPSP can effectively promote the growth of muscle tissue and improve exercise tolerance. It is indicated that PPSP may have a potential application value in partly or completely replacing animal proteins such as whey protein.

Abstract
Spirulina are multicellular and filamentous cyanobacteria that have achieved considerable popularity in the health sector, food industry, and aquaculture. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the antifatigue effects of Spirulina-derived peptides on Institute for Cancer Research mice and explore the association between antifatigue activity and fat metabolism involving the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway. We extracted the peptides from Spirulina by enzymatic hydrolysis and ultrafiltration. The mice were orally administered with Spirulina peptides (0.125, 0.5, and 2 mg/g bw/day) daily for 4 weeks. We found that Spirulina peptides, especially the high-dose group, significantly prolonged the swimming time by 126.1%, increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes, and decreased the content of malondialdehyde by 60.2% compared with the glutathione (GSH) group. The levels of some indicators of exercise fatigue, including lactic dehydrogenase, blood lactic acid, and creatine phosphokinase, were reduced. In the high-dose group, these indicators were reduced by 40.7%, 22.3%, and 11.3% compared with the GSH group. Spirulina peptides did not excessively consume blood sugar or glycogen in the liver and muscle to produce energy. However, the triglyceride level was reduced, and the level of free fatty acids was increased. Besides, the proteins in the AMPK signaling pathway were activated. Taken together, these findings indicated that Spirulina peptides could effectively alleviate physical fatigue by reducing the production of lactic acid and improving antioxidant capacity. Spirulina peptides also helped increase the energy resources by activating the AMPK signaling pathway to utilize fat metabolism.

Abstract
SCOPE The study investigates the effects of pterostilbene (PTE) on exercise endurance and circadian rhythm in sleep-restricted (SR) mice. METHODS AND RESULTS The SR model is established by keeping mice awake during the first 8 h of light period for 5 d and PTE (100 mg kg-1 d-1 ) is given once a day. PTE improves endurance in SR mice by significantly prolonging the exhaustive swimming time and ameliorating exercise fatigue biochemical parameters, including creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase. It is observed that PTE effectively regained mitochondrial function by improving mitochondrial swelling and maintaining oxidative phosphorylation system-related genes expression, and inhibited the decrease of mitochondrial biogenesis-related genes expression. Furthermore, PTE restores rhythms of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation activity, silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) deacetylation activity, and SIRT1-mediated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) deacetylation in SR mice. Finally, the results demonstrate that the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway may be correlated with the relationships between mitochondrial function and circadian rhythms, markedly regulating the expression of skeletal muscle clock genes, circadian locomotor output cycles kaput, and brain and muscle arnt-like 1. CONCLUSIONS PTE ameliorates SR-induced exercise intolerance associated with circadian misalignment and mitochondrial dysfunction through AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway.

Abstract
Abstract
Xian-Ling-Gu-Bao (XLGB), a famous traditional Chinese medicine prescription consisted of six herbal medicines, was used for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in China. As an oral formulation, the multiple components contained in XLGB were inevitably biotransformed by the intestinal microflora before absorption via the gastrointestinal tract. However, the dynamic profiles of biotransformation products of XLGB remain unknown. In this paper, a rapid and sensitive ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry method was developed for the simultaneous quantitative analysis of multiple biotransformation products of XLGB with rat intestinal microflora. For 10 selected quantitative compounds, all calibration curves revealed good linearity (r2 > 0.99) within the sampling ranges considered. The whole intra- and inter-day precisions (as relative standard deviation) of all analytes were <13.5%, and the accuracies (as relative error) were in the range from −11.3 to 11.2%. The lower limits of quantification were 20, 10, 5, 20, 2, 2, 2, 5, 2 and 2 ng/mL for sweroside, timosaponin BII, epimedin C, asperosaponin VI, psoralen, isobavachin, icariside II, timosaponin AIII, isobavachalcone and icaritin, respectively. The matrix effects, extraction recoveries and stabilities were all satisfactory. Meanwhile, dynamic profiles of 21 additional biotransformation products were also monitored by their area-time curves. The analytical method was successfully applied to describe dynamic profiles of 31 biotransformation products of XLGB and the recipes with removal of a definite composed herbal medicine (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma or Rehmanniae Radix).
