Food Chem Toxicol 2023:113860. [PMID: 37263572 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.113860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
Hyoscyamine is a kind of tropane alkaloids, which exists in several plants of the family Solanaceae. However, the mechanism underlying such hyoscyamine toxic effects during early development remains unclear. In this study, an untargeted metabolomics approach was used to investigate the toxic mechanisms of hyoscyamine in zebrafish embryos. The LC10 and MNLC of hyoscyamine in zebrafish embryos were determined to be 350 and 313 μg/mL, respectively. Moreover, hyoscyamine exposure increased the accumulation of ROS and MDA, and altered the activity of antioxidant enzymes (CAT, SOD, and GSH) in zebrafish embryos. After exposure, the embryos were extracted, derivatized and analyzed by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS for 3551 metabolites to identify 38 significantly changed metabolites based on the VIP, p value, and fold change results. Metabolic pathways associated with those metabolites were identified using MetaboAnalyst 5.0 as follows: pyrimidine metabolism, purine metabolism, histidine metabolism, beta-Alanine metabolism, and glutathione metabolism. These results suggested that hyoscyamine exposure to zebrafish embryos exhibited marked metabolic disturbance. Such significant perturbations of important metabolites within crucial biochemical pathways may have biologically hazardous effects on zebrafish embryos induced by hyoscyamine.

Abstract
Kidney-yang-deficiency-syndrome (KYDS) is a metabolic disease caused by neuroendocrine disorder. Gushudan (GSD) is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription with the effect of nourishing kidney and strengthening bones. In this study, the mechanism of preventive effect of GSD on KYDS was explored by integrating metabolomics and serum pharmacochemistry. Reversed-phase/hydrophilic interaction chromatography-ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-Quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (RP/HILIC-UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS)-based serum metabolomics indicated metabolic disturbances of KYDS rats, and 50 potential biomarkers including l-threonine, succinic acid and phytosphingosine were obtained, which were mainly involved in alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, citrate cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle) and glycerophospholipid metabolism, among others. Serum pharmacochemistry identified 29 prototypical ingredients and 9 metabolites of GSD after administration, such as icaritin and xanthotoxol. The combination of 10 serum migration ingredients in GSD, including icaritin and osthole, with 7 important targets, including AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1) and MAPK14, was found to be key for GSD to prevent KYDS in the network pharmacology study. This study provided a new idea for the research of pathogenesis of diseases and the pharmacodynamic mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine.

[PMID: 36295836 PMCID: PMC9609460 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12100934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Scopoletin, a typical example of a coumarin compound, exists in several Artemisia species and other plant genera. However, the systemic metabolic effects induced by scopoletin remain unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the metabolic profiles in scopoletin-exposed zebrafish embryos using UHPLC-Q-Obitrap-HRMS combined with multivariate analysis. Compared with the control group, 33 metabolites in scopoletin group were significantly upregulated, while 27 metabolites were significantly downregulated. Importantly, scopoletin exposure affected metabolites mainly involved in phosphonate and phosphinate metabolism, vitamin B6 metabolism, histidine metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, and folate biosynthesis. These results suggested that scopoletin exposure to zebrafish embryos exhibited marked metabolic disturbance. This study provides a perspective of metabolic impacts and the underlying mechanism associated with scopoletin exposure.

Abstract
Over the past decade, systems biology and plant-omics have increasingly become the main stream in plant biology research. New developments in mass spectrometry and bioinformatics tools, and methodological schema to integrate multi-omics data have leveraged recent advances in proteomics and metabolomics. These progresses are driving a rapid evolution in the field of plant research, greatly facilitating our understanding of the mechanistic aspects of plant metabolisms and the interactions of plants with their external environment. Here, we review the recent progresses in MS-based proteomics and metabolomics tools and workflows with a special focus on their applications to plant biology research using several case studies related to mechanistic understanding of stress response, gene/protein function characterization, metabolic and signaling pathways exploration, and natural product discovery. We also present a projection concerning future perspectives in MS-based proteomics and metabolomics development including their applications to and challenges for system biology. This review is intended to provide readers with an overview of how advanced MS technology, and integrated application of proteomics and metabolomics can be used to advance plant system biology research.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a common metabolic disease that is an independent risk factor for comorbidities such as hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and coronary artery disease. The prevalence of HUA has increased over the last several decades with improved living standards and increased lifespans. Metabolites are considered the most direct reflection of individual physiological and pathological conditions, and represent attractive candidates to provide deep insights into disease phenotypes. Metabolomics, a technique used to profile metabolites in biofluids and tissues, is a powerful tool for identification of novel biomarkers, and can be used to provide valuable insights into the etiopathogenesis of metabolic diseases and to evaluate the efficacy of drugs. In this study, multi metabolomics-based analysis of the blood, urine, and feces of rats with HUA showed that HUA significantly altered metabolite profiles. Astragalus membranaceus (AM) and benbromomalone significantly mitigated these changes in blood and feces, but not in urine. Some crucial metabolic pathways including lipid metabolism, lipid signaling, hormones synthesis, unsaturated fatty acid (UFAs) absorption, and tryptophan metabolism, were seriously disrupted in HUA rats. In addition, AM administration exerted better treatment effects on HUA than benbromomalone. Furthermore, additional supplementation with UFAs and tryptophan may also induce therapeutic effects against HUA.

Screening and verification of CYP3A4 inhibitors from Bushen-Yizhi formula to enhance the bioavailability of osthole in rat plasma. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 282:114643. [PMID: 34534597 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 09/12/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE With the features of multiple-components and targets as well as multifunction, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely used in the prevention and treatment of various diseases for a long time. During the application of TCM, the researches about bioavailability enhancement of the bioactive constituents in formula are flourishing. Bushen-Yizhi formula (BSYZ), a TCM prescription with osthole (OST) as one of the main bioactive ingredients, have been widely used to treat kidney deficiency, mental retardation and Alzheimer's disease. However, the underlying biological mechanism and compound-enzyme interaction mediated bioavailability enhancement of OST are still not clearly illuminated. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study is to explore the material basis and molecular mechanism from BSYZ in the bioavailability enhancement of OST. Screening the potential CYP3A4 inhibitors using theoretical prediction and then verifying them in vitro, and pharmacokinetics study of OST in rat plasma under co-administrated of screened CYP3A4 inhibitors and BSYZ were also scarcely reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS Screening of CYP3A4 inhibitors from BSYZ was performed with molecular docking simulation from systems pharmacology database. The screened compounds were verified by using P450-Glo Screening Systems. A multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry method was established for OST quantification. Male Sprague-Dawley rats divided into four groups and six rats in each group were employed in the pharmacokinetics study of OST. The administrated conditions were group I, OST (20 mg/kg); group II, BSYZ (containing OST 1 mg/mL, at the dose of 20 mg/kg OST in BSYZ); group III, co-administration of ketoconazole (Ket, 75 mg/kg) and OST (20 mg/kg); group IV, co-administration of CYP3A4 inhibitor (10 mg/kg) and OST (20 mg/kg). They were determined by using HPLC-MS/MS (MRM) and statistical analysis was performed using student's t-test with p < 0.05 as the level of significance. RESULTS 21 potential CYP3A4 inhibitors were screened from BSYZ compounds library. From the results of verification in vitro, we found 4 compounds with better CYP3A4 inhibition efficiency including Oleic acid, 1,2,3,4,6-O-Pentagalloylglucose, Rutin, and Schisantherin B. Under further verification, Schisantherin B exhibited the best inhibitory effect on CYP3A4 (IC50 = 0.339 μM), and even better than the clinically used drug (Ket) at the concentration of 5 μM. In the study of pharmacokinetics, the area under the curve (AUC, ng/L*h) of OST after oral administration of BSYZ, Ket and Schisantherin B (2196.23 ± 581.33, 462.90 ± 92.30 and 1053.03 ± 263.62, respectively) were significantly higher than that of pure OST treatment (227.89 ± 107.90, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Schisantherin B, a profoundly effective CYP3A4 inhibitor screened from BSYZ antagonized the metabolism of CYP3A4 on OST via activity inhibition, therefore significantly enhanced the bioavailability of OST in rat plasma. The results of this study will be helpful to explain the rationality of the compatibility in TCM formula, and also to develop new TCM formula with more reasonable drug compatibility.

Abstract
Coumarins are a group of natural compounds commonly found in the families of Rutaceae and Umbelliferae. 7-Isopentenyloxycoumarin (ISC), auraptene (AUR), and umbelliprenin (UM) belong to prenyloxycoumarins (PYCs), which link isopentenyl, geranyl, and farnesyl group at C7 position, respectively. The substituent of 7-ethoxycoumarin (ETC) is the ethyl group. In this study, UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS (ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-quadrupole time of flight-MS)-based metabolomics was used to evaluate the in vivo and in vitro metabolism of PYCs. Results showed that ETC produced 10 known metabolites, and ISC was transformed into 17 metabolites in vivo and in vitro, which were undescribed compounds. A total of 35 AUR metabolites, including 34 undescribed metabolites were identified, and 21 metabolites were reported for the first time in UM. The results indicated that hydroxylation and N-acetylcysteine conjugation were the common metabolic reactions for PYCs. The metabolic rates of ETC, ISC, AUR and UM were 26%, 36%, 81%, and 38%, respectively, in human liver microsome, while they were 24%, 40%, 80%, and 37%, respectively, in mouse liver microsomes. In addition, recombinant cytochrome P450s (CYPs) screening showed that CYP1A1, 2C19, 3A4, and 3A5 were the major metabolic enzymes involved in the formation of hydroxylation metabolites. Together, these results suggest that the isopentenyl group plays an important role in the metabolism of PYCs.

Abstract
Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD) occurs predominantly among patients with uncorrected congenital heart disease (CHD). It is an intractable problem to control PAH continuously and stably after an operation. Methods: 1) OPLS-DA combined with S-plot was used to retrospectively analyze the results of preoperative and postoperative PAH and 39 biochemical indicators of 235 patients admitted to Fuwai Yunnan Cardiovascular Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020. 2) Combined with Meta-analysis, the recurrence in postoperative PAH was analyzed in terms of operation factors, doses administered, and age factors. Results: 1) 4 indicators (PAH, RBC, HGB, and CO2) that reflect the prognosis of patients had been found by OPLS-DA combined with S-plot. 2) The recurrence rate of postoperative PAH was 37.02%. The comprehensive therapeutic effect of interventional closure was better than that of surgical operation. PAH was not significantly higher again in patients who received either the instruction dose or the literature dose. Postoperative combination therapy (bosentan and sildenafil) was more effective than bosentan alone. Recovery after treatment was better in infants than in the other four age groups. Conclusion: OPLS-DA combined with S-plot was used for the first time to analyze clinical examination data. In this study, this method proved to be a feasible method for analyzing clinical data We recommend interventional closure as the first choice for patients with PAH-CHD. For postoperative oral therapy, we recommend the combination therapy (bosentan with sildenafil). To prevent the recurrence, the dose should be strictly prescribed according to the instructions, literature, or body surface area converted. Moreover, we recommend treatment at a young age in these patients.

Abstract
Suberosin is a natural prenylated coumarin derivative isolated from Citropsis articulata. It has various pharmacological properties, especially as an anticoagulant, for which it has been used since antiquity. However, its metabolic pathway and metabolites have not yet been studied. Therefore, this study characterizes its metabolic pathway and metabolites in human liver microsomes (HLMs) using high-resolution quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometry (HRMS/MS). Eight metabolites (M1-M8) were found, including three monohydroxylated (M1-M3), one hydrated (M4), three dihydroxylated (M5-M7), and one glucuronide conjugate (M8). Furthermore, forms of cytochrome P450 (CYPs) responsible for suberosin metabolism in HLMs were characterized. CYP1A2 was identified as a major enzyme for the production of M1 and M5 metabolites. The M2, M3, and M7 metabolites were predominantly generated by CYP2B6. M8 was the only phase II metabolite, identified as a glucuronide conjugate from either M1 or M2. This glucuronide conjugate may be the only promising metabolite from phase II metabolism. Phase I metabolism, especially hydroxylation, was found to provide a predominant metabolic pathway of suberosin in HLMs. Further studies should be conducted to explore the metabolites, examining their efficacy and their toxicity in an in vivo system.

Tripterygium glycosides tablets (TGT) and Tripterygium wilfordii tablets (TWT) are the preparations of Tripterygium wilfordii used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the clinic, but the hepatotoxicity was reported frequently. This study aimed to determine the potential toxicity mechanism of liver injury induced by the preparations of Tripterygium wilfordii in mice.Here, we performed metabolomic analysis, pathological analysis and biochemical analysis of samples from mice with liver injury induced by TGT and TWT, which revealed that liver injury was associated with bile acid metabolism disorder. Quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR) and western blot indicated that the above changes were accompanied by inhibition of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signalling.Liver injury from TWT could be alleviated by treatment of the FXR agonist obeticholic acid (OCA) via activation of the FXR to inhibit the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway and improve bile acid metabolism disorder by activating bile salt export pump (BSEP) and organic solute-transporter-β (OSTB). The data demonstrate that FXR signalling pathway plays a key role in T. wilfordii-induced liver injury, which could be alleviated by activated FXR.These results indicate that FXR activation by OCA may offer a promising therapeutic opportunity against hepatotoxicity from the preparations of T. wilfordii.

Abstract
Osthenol, a prenylated coumarin, is a C8-prenylated derivative of umbelliferone isolated from the root of Angelica koreana and Angelica dahurica, an intermediate and is known as a major metabolite of desmethyl-osthole.The various pharmacological effects of osthenol have been reported. In previous studies, we investigated five hydroxylated metabolites by cytochromes P450 (CYP) and glucuronide conjugates of osthenol by uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs). However, osthenol have very few studies have been reported on its pharmacokinetic (PK) profiling, we reported the PK parameters in mouse of osthenol through this study.After oral (5 and 20 mg/kg) and intravenous (5 mg/kg) administration, the concentration of osthenol in plasma was determined by LC-MS/MS. The quantitative method was validated in terms of linearity, accuracy, and precision. When 5 and 20 mg/kg of osthenol were orally administered, the bioavailability (BA) was found to be very low at 0.43 and 0.02%, respectively.In fact, osthenol was mostly metabolized to a two-Phase II conjugates, a sulfonyl and glucuronyl-osthenol, in the blood, which was determined by LC-HR/MS analysis of the blood sample. Because osthenol is rapidly metabolized to two conjugates by first-pass effect the BA of osthenol is low after oral administration.

Abstract
Nintedanib is a promising tyrosine kinase inhibitor for clinically treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Some clinical cases reported that nintedanib treatment can cause hepatotoxicity and myocardial toxicity. U. S. FDA warns the potential drug-drug interaction when it is co-administrated with other drugs. In order to understand the potential toxicity of nintedanib and avoid drug-drug interaction, the metabolism of nintedanib was systematically investigated in human liver microsomes and mice using metabolomics approach, and the toxicity of metabolites was predicted by ADMET lab. Nineteen metabolites were detected in vivo and in vitro metabolism, and 8 of them were undescribed. Calculated partition coefficients (Clog P) were used to distinguish the isomers of nintedanib metabolites in this study. The major metabolic pathways of nintedanib majorly included hydroxylation, demethylation, glucuronidation, and acetylation reactions. The ADMET prediction indicated that nintedanib was a substrate of the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). And nintedanib and most of its metabolites might possess potential hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity. This study provided a global view of nintedanib metabolism, which could be used to understand the mechanism of adverse effects related to nintedanib and its potential drug-drug interaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sunitinib is a small-molecule TK inhibitor associated with hepatotoxicity. The mechanisms of its toxicity are still unclear. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH In the present study, mice were treated with 60, 150, and 450 mg·kg-1 sunitinib to evaluate sunitinib hepatotoxicity. Sunitinib metabolites and endogenous metabolites in liver, serum, faeces, and urine were analysed using ultra-performance LC electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight MS-based metabolomics. KEY RESULTS Four reactive metabolites and impaired clearance of sunitinib in liver played a dominant role in sunitinib-induced hepatotoxicity. Using a non-targeted metabolomics approach, various metabolic pathways, including mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (β-FAO), bile acids, lipids, amino acids, nucleotides, and tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates, were disrupted after sunitinib treatment. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These studies identified significant alterations in mitochondrial β-FAO and bile acid homeostasis. Activation of PPARα and inhibition of xenobiotic metabolism may be of value in attenuating sunitinib hepatotoxicity.

[PMID: 29897827 PMCID: PMC6628935 DOI: 10.1080/00498254.2018.1489167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2018] [Revised: 06/09/2018] [Accepted: 06/11/2018] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
To elucidate the metabolism of pazopanib, a metabolomics approach was performed based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole mass spectrometry. A total of 22 pazopanib metabolites were identified in vitro and in vivo. Among these metabolites, 17 were novel, including several cysteine adducts and aldehyde derivatives. By screening using recombinant CYPs, CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 were found to be the main forms involved in the pazopanib hydroxylation. Formation of a cysteine conjugate (M3), an aldehyde derivative (M15) and two N-oxide metabolites (M18 and M20) from pazopanib could induce the oxidative stress that may be responsible in part for pazopanib-induced hepatotoxicity. Morphological observation of the liver suggested that pazopanib (300 mg/kg) could cause liver injury. The aspartate transaminase and alanine aminotransferase in serum significantly increased after pazopanib (150, 300 mg/kg) treatment; this liver injury could be partially reversed by the broad-spectrum CYP inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT). Metabolomics analysis revealed that pazopanib could significantly change the levels of L-carnitine, proline and lysophosphatidylcholine 18:1 in liver. Additionally, drug metabolism-related gene expression analysis revealed that hepatic Cyp2d22 and Abcb1a (P-gp) mRNAs were significantly lowered by pazopanib treatment. In conclusion, this study provides a global view of pazopanib metabolism and clues to its influence on hepatic function.

Abstract
Celastrol, derived from the roots of the Tripterygium Wilfordi, shows a striking effect on obesity. In the present study, the role of celastrol in cholestasis was investigated using metabolomics and transcriptomics. Celastrol treatment significantly alleviated cholestatic liver injury in mice induced by α-naphthyl isothiocyanate (ANIT) and thioacetamide (TAA). Celastrol was found to activate sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), increase farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signaling and inhibit nuclear factor-kappa B and P53 signaling. The protective role of celastrol in cholestatic liver injury was diminished in mice on co-administration of SIRT1 inhibitors. Further, the effects of celastrol on cholestatic liver injury were dramatically decreased in Fxr-null mice, suggesting that the SIRT1-FXR signaling pathway mediates the protective effects of celastrol. These observations demonstrated a novel role for celastrol in protecting against cholestatic liver injury through modulation of the SIRT1 and FXR.

Abstract
LC-MS-based metabolomics could have a major impact in the study of natural products, especially in its metabolism, toxicity and activity. This review highlights recent applications of metabolomics approach in the study of metabolites and toxicity of natural products, and the understanding of their effects on various diseases. Metabolomics has been employed to study the in vitro and in vivo metabolism of natural compounds, such as osthole, dehydrodiisoeugenol, and myrislignan. The pharmacological effects of natural compounds and extracts were determined using metabolomics technology combined with diseases models in animal, including osthole and nutmeg extracts. It has been demonstrated that metabolomics is a powerful technology for the investigation of xenobiotics-induced toxicity. The metabolism of triptolide and its hepatotoxicity were discussed. LC-MS-based metabolomics has a great potential in the druggability of natural products. The application of metabolomics should be broadened in the field of natural products in the future.

Abstract
Osthole (OST), 7-methoxy-8-isopentenoxycoumarin, is the characteristic constituent found in Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cuss. and possesses excellent pharmacological activities, including anticancer, anti-apoptosis and neuroprotection. In this study, a rapid and reliable method based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and MetabolitePilot2.0™ software with principal component variable grouping (PCVG) filtering was developed to observe probable metabolites of OST firstly. The high resolution mass data were acquired by data-independent acquisition mode (DIA), i.e., sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragmentation spectra (SWATH), which could significantly improved the hit rate of low-level and trace metabolites. A novel data processing method ‘key product ions (KPIs)’ were employed for metabolites rapid hunting and identification as an assistant tool. A total of 72 metabolites of OST were detected in vitro and in vivo, including 39 metabolites in rat liver microsomes (RLMs), 20 metabolites in plasma, 32 metabolites in bile, 32 metabolites in urine and 37 metabolites in feces. The results showed that mono-oxidation, demethylation, dehydrogenation, sulfate conjugation and glucuronide conjugation were major metabolic reactions of OST. More significant, oxydrolysis, 3,4-epoxide-aldehylation, phosphorylation, S-cysteine conjugation and N-acetylcysteine conjugation were considered as unique metabolic pathways of OST, and phosphorylation, S-cysteine conjugation and N-acetylcysteine conjugation reactions were characterized in rat biological samples for the first time. Preparation of active metabolites will be greatly helpful in elucidating the potential biological mechanism of OST, and the proposed metabolic pathways of it might provide further understanding of the safety and efficacy of simple coumarins. Osthole (OST), 7-methoxy-8-isopentenoxycoumarin, is the characteristic constituent found in Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cuss. and possesses excellent pharmacological activities, including anticancer, anti-apoptosis and neuroprotection.![]()
