TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine analysis, and particularly relates to an application of a TRPC6 / TRPM4 molecular sensory artificial intelligence biosensor in identification of antiviral pungent and warm key quality attributes of Jingfang mixture. BACKGROUND
[0002] Critical quality attributes (CQAs) of a drug refer to physical, chemical, biological or microbiological properties or characteristics within appropriate limits, ranges or distributions to ensure the quality of a desired product. Nature and taste refer to the nature and smell of a drug, i.e. four natures and five tastes, which are the core part of the nature theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The nature and taste of traditional Chinese medicine are closely related to the efficacy. The existing quality control system of traditional Chinese medicine has the limitation of focusing on the quantitative analysis of single index component and lacking the systematic characterization of nature and taste characteristic component group. In addition, the traditional nature and taste evaluation relies on experience and fails to establish a quantifiable quality control index that is positively correlated with the efficacy, resulting in a serious disconnection between the nature theory and the modern quality control system. Associating the nature and taste of traditional Chinese medicine with the key quality attributes, identifying the nature and taste key quality attributes, establishing a quality control index based on the nature and taste, and returning to the “nature-taste-efficacy” evaluation system are conducive to the intelligent manufacturing upgrade of traditional Chinese medicine with the nature and taste determining the standard and the efficacy controlling the quality.
[0003] With the development of modern research, the discovery of nature and taste receptors provides a good breakthrough point for the identification of nature and taste key quality attributes of traditional Chinese medicine. Most pungent and warm traditional Chinese medicines can exert effects through TRPC6 / TRPM4 family ion channels, and the biological effects and pharmacological effects involving TRPC6 / TRPM4 family ion channels are highly related to the pungent and warm nature and taste of traditional Chinese medicine. The known TRP channels can be divided into seven subfamilies, including TRPA, TRPC, TRPV, TRPM, TRPP, TRPML and TRPN. Except TRPN, the other subfamilies are expressed in the human body and are involved in various complex physiological and pathological processes. For example, the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) can be activated by capsaicin in chili (pungent, hot), vanillin in ginger (pungent, slightly warm), imperatorin in Ba Zhi (pungent, warm) and temperature greater than 43℃, but TRPV1 is unstable after being activated and desensitization occurs, and after desensitization, it is not sensitive to various stimuli, thus having great potential in the treatment of pain. However, most of the existing identification methods of nature and taste key quality attributes are based on known nature and taste receptors, which cannot associate nature and taste components with efficacy indicators, and thus cannot identify nature and taste key quality attributes related to efficacy. SUMMARY
[0004] The application aims to provide an application of a TRPC6 / TRPM4 molecular sensory artificial intelligence biosensor in identification of antiviral pungent and warm key quality attributes of Jingfang mixture, so as to solve the problem that the existing identification method of nature and taste key quality attributes cannot identify the nature and taste key quality attributes related to drug efficacy.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the application adopts the following technical scheme: The application of the TRPC6 / TRPM4 molecular sensory artificial intelligence biosensor in identification of antiviral pungent and warm key quality attributes of Jingfang mixture, wherein the method for identifying the antiviral pungent and warm key quality attributes of Jingfang mixture by the TRPC6 / TRPM4 molecular sensory artificial intelligence biosensor comprises the following steps: S01: screening TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptors with high expression and statistical difference in the lesion tissues of normal mice and diseased mice; wherein the diseased mice are infected with influenza A H1N1 virus.
[0006] Thirty-six SPF mice, 4-6 weeks old, weighing 19±1 g, were randomly divided into a normal control group, a model control group, a normal administration group and a model administration group, 6 mice in each group. After the mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, the mice in the model control group and the model administration group were respectively dripped with influenza A H1N1 virus H1N1 / PR8 strain, 20 μL per mouse, to replicate the mouse influenza virus infection model. The mice in the normal control group and the normal administration group were respectively dripped with the same amount of normal saline.
[0007] After 24 hours of infection, the normal administration group and the model administration group were respectively administered with 0.47 mL of Jingfang mixture, and the normal control group and the model control group were respectively administered with the same amount of ultrapure water every day, for 3 consecutive days. During this period, the macroscopic signs and body weight changes of the mice in each group were observed and recorded at regular time intervals every day. After 24 hours of the last administration, the mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and the lesion tissues of normal mice, diseased mice and Jingfang mixture intervention mice in each group were collected after dissection. The relative expression levels of corresponding TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptor genes and proteins in the lesion tissues were detected based on real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western Blot, and statistical analysis was performed.
[0008] S02: constructing a TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functionalized biosensor by taking the TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptor as a biomolecular recognition element, and screening pungent and warm components in Jingfang mixture according to the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functionalized biosensor and UPLC-MS / MS technology.
[0009] The 50 μL of 20 mmol / L 3-mercaptopropionic acid solution (3-MPA) is added dropwise on the surface of the screen-printed gold electrode (SPGE) to cover the working electrode. After the reaction at 4℃ for 17-24 h, the Au-S bond is generated on the surface of the SPGE device to form a carboxyl self-assembled monolayer. After the free 3-MPA on the surface of the SPGE device is washed away by ultrapure water, the 20 mmol / L of 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and 50 mmol / L of N-carboxy succinimide (NHS) are mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1 to form a mixed solution. The 100 μL of the mixed solution is added dropwise on the surface of the SPGE device to activate the reaction at room temperature for 15 min, so that the stable amine activation product is generated to activate the carboxyl group. The same TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptor standard substance as the TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptor is dissolved in a buffer solution to prepare a TRPC6 / TRPM4 protein solution. The surface of the SPGE device is cleaned by using the 10 mmol / L PBS buffer solution, and the 30 μL of the TRPC6 / TRPM4 protein solution with a concentration of 0.1 μg / μL is added dropwise. The TRPC6 / TRPM4 protein is modified to the surface of the SPGE device by a covalent bond after the reaction at 4℃ for 2-4 h, so that the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functionalized biosensor is obtained. The prepared TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functionalized biosensor is connected with the adapter, and the chemical workstation, current signal receiving and processing system are integrated, so that the online detection can be performed.
[0010] After the jingfang mixture is configured into the 10-fold gradient concentration of the sample solution to be detected, the sample solution to be detected is added dropwise on the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functionalized biosensor in the order of low to high concentration, and the reaction is performed at 4℃ for 5 min. The interaction intensity between the sample solution to be detected and the target protein is detected by using the electrochemical workstation. After the reaction is completed, the components not combined with the TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptor on the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functionalized biosensor are eluted by using the PBS buffer solution, and then the specific eluent is used to elute the components combined with the TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptor for 6 times. The eluent is obtained. After the eluent is enriched by using the vacuum concentrator, the UPLC-MS / MS technology is used to identify the pungent and warm components in the jingfang mixture combined with the target protein.
[0011] The UPLC-MS / MS technology conditions are as follows: chromatographic conditions: Hypersil GOLD C 18Chromatographic column, column temperature 30 ℃, sample size 5 μL; mobile phase A is 0.05% formic acid aqueous solution, mobile phase B is 0.05% formic acid acetonitrile solution; flow rate is 0.3 mL / min, elution gradient is: 0 min, 97% A-3% B; 5 min, 80% A-20% B; 25 min, 70% A-30% B; 33 min, 55% A-45% B; 38 min, 0% A-100% B; 40 min, 0% A-100% B; 40.1 min, 97% A-3% B; 45 min, 97% A-3% B.
[0012] Mass spectrometry conditions: electrospray ion source, positive and negative ion mode switching detection, spray voltage is 3 kV; capillary temperature is 350 °C; sheath gas and auxiliary gas are nitrogen, flow rates are 10 mL / min and 3 mL / min respectively; scan mode: Full MS / ddMS2; Full MS resolution is 70000, dd-MS2 resolution is 17500; scan range: m / z 80-1200.
[0013] S03: Collect the drug-containing serum and target organs in mice containing the Jingfang mixture, and analyze the pharmacodynamic components of the Jingfang mixture entering the blood and target organs using the UPLC-MS / MS technique.
[0014] Twenty-four 4-6 week old, 19±1 g SPF mice were randomly divided into normal control group (n=3), model control group (n=3), normal drug administration group (n=9), and model drug administration group (n=9). According to literature and previous work, the corresponding mouse disease model was replicated. After 24 hours of infection, the normal drug administration group and the model drug administration group were given appropriate amounts of Jingfang mixture by gavage every 12 hours, and the normal control group and the model control group were given the same amount of ultrapure water by gavage, for 3 consecutive days. The mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation at 0.5, 1, and 2 hours after the last administration, and the drug-containing serum and target organs were collected. The drug-containing serum and target organs were pretreated using the protein precipitation method (PPT), enriched using a nitrogen blowing instrument, and then dissolved in methanol and filtered through a 0.22 μm microporous filter to obtain the test solution. The pharmacodynamic components of the Jingfang mixture entering the blood and target organs were analyzed using the UPLC-MS / MS technique.
[0015] S04: Comparative analysis of the pungent and warm components and the pharmacodynamic components to screen the key quality attributes of pungent and warm components associated with pharmacodynamics.
[0016] The intersection of the pungent and warm components in the Jingfang mixture and the pharmacodynamic components entering the blood and target organs was screened using the microbioinformatics online platform, and a Venn diagram was drawn, which screened the key quality attributes of pungent and warm components associated with pharmacodynamics.
[0017] S05: verifying the efficacy of the screened nature and taste key quality attributes through in vitro cell experiments.
[0018] In addition, the nobiletin in the nature and taste key quality attributes of the Jingfang mixture has good anti-influenza virus activity, EC 50 = 6.32 μM, SI = 26.23, and can be used to prepare a medicine for treating anti-H1N1 influenza A virus.
[0019] The present application has the following beneficial effects: (1) In the present application, first, the TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptor with high expression and statistical difference is screened in the lesion tissues of normal mice and diseased mice, and the TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptor is used as a biomolecular recognition element to construct a TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functional biosensor, and the UPLC-MS / MS technology is combined to screen the pungent and warm ingredients in the Jingfang mixture. Then, the Jingfang mixture drug-containing serum and target organ are collected, and the UPLC-MS / MS technology is used to analyze the efficacy ingredients of the Jingfang mixture into the blood and target organ; further, the pungent and warm ingredients of the Jingfang mixture are compared and analyzed with the efficacy ingredients, and the nature and taste key quality attributes related to efficacy are screened. Finally, the efficacy of the nature and taste key quality attributes is verified based on in vitro cell experiments.
[0020] (2) The pungent and warm key quality attributes of the Jingfang mixture against H1N1 influenza A virus include peucedanin, 5-O-methylvisamminol glycoside, naringin, aurantiamarin, glycyrrhizic acid, nobiletin, and imperatorin. Seven key quality attributes related to nature and taste and efficacy are determined, the "nature and taste-efficacy" evaluation system is returned, and the quality control standard of the Jingfang mixture is further improved, which is conducive to realizing the intelligent manufacturing upgrade of traditional Chinese medicine "determined by nature and taste, and controlled by quality".
[0021] (3) The Jingfang mixture is a complex system with multiple components and multiple targets. The present application breaks through the limitations of traditional TRPV1 pungent receptor research, and the TRPC6 / TRPM4 double target combination is used to identify the anti-viral pungent and warm key quality attribute ingredients of the Jingfang mixture, which provides a new direction for the research on the material basis of pungent and warm substances.
[0022] (4) In the present application, it is first found that nobiletin has good anti-H1N1 influenza A virus effect, and can be used to prepare a medicine for treating H1N1 influenza A virus. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The technical solutions of the present application will be further explained and described below through specific examples.
[0025] Example 1: Screening of TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptors with high expression and statistical difference in lesion tissues of normal mice and diseased mice 1. Animal grouping and intervention Thirty-six SPF mice weighing 19±1g and aged 4-6 weeks were randomly divided into a normal control group (NC), an influenza model group (Virus), an oseltamivir phosphate positive group (OP, 19.5 mg / kg / day, equivalent to the clinical equivalent dose), and low-, medium-, and high-dose Jingfang mixture groups (JF, 7.80, 15.6, and 23.4 g / kg / day, equivalent to 1, 2, and 3 times the clinical equivalent dose), with 6 mice in each group. After acclimation for 3 days, the SPF mice were anesthetized with isoflurane on the 4th day. Anesthetized mice were intranasally instilled with 20 μL of normal saline solution in the NC group and an equivalent dose of influenza A (H1N1 / PR8) virus (1 TCID50) in the other groups to establish an influenza A (H1N1) virus infection model. Drug intervention was performed 24 hours after modeling. The NC group and the Virus group were gavaged with 0.3 mL of ultrapure water every morning and evening, and the OP group and the JF group were gavaged with equal volumes of oseltamivir phosphate and Jingfang mixture, respectively. The drugs were administered continuously for 7 days. During this period, the macroscopic signs and body weight changes of the mice in each group were observed and recorded regularly every day.
[0026] 2. Sample collection and pretreatment Twenty-four hours after the last dose, the mice's eyeballs were removed and blood was collected and stored in EP tubes for later use. Mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and dissected. The wet weights of the lungs, spleen, and thymus were weighed. Organ indices were calculated based on the mouse body weight: organ index = organ wet weight / mouse body weight × 100%.
[0027] 3. HE staining to observe lung pathological changes The left lungs of mice in each group were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, routinely dehydrated, permeabilized with xylene, embedded in paraffin, sliced, dried, and then HE stained. The lung tissue structure and pathological damage were observed under a microscope. Figure 1 .
[0028] By the attached Figure 1 It can be seen that compared with the normal control group mice NC, the weight of the influenza model group (Virus) mice decreased significantly, and the lung index and lung virus load increased significantly ( P <0.01), indicating that the mouse influenza A (H1N1) virus infection model was successfully replicated. The Jingfang mixture intervention can effectively slow down the trend of significant weight loss in influenza mice, significantly reduce the lung index and lung viral load, and significantly alleviate the degree of pathological damage in lung tissue.
[0029] 4. Immunoblotting to detect the expression levels of key TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptor proteins in lung tissue Take 20 mg of lung tissue from each group of mice respectively, add 200 μL of lysis solution, homogenate and process to obtain homogenate solution, wherein the lysis solution comprises RIPA lysis solution, protease inhibitor and phosphatase inhibitor in equal volume ratio. Lyse each group of homogenate solution in ice bath for 30 min to extract total protein, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 15 min, and take the supernatant as the protein stock solution. Determine the protein concentration of the protein stock solution by BCA protein quantification kit, dilute to 30 μg / 10 μL, and add quantified 5x loading buffer and β-mercaptoethanol, and heat at 100 ℃ metal bath for 5 min to completely denature the protein, wherein the volume ratio of protein solution, loading buffer and β-mercaptoethanol is 15:4:1. Separate the protein by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and transfer the protein band to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane activated with methanol. Block the blank binding sites on the PVDF membrane with protein-free quick blocking solution; incubate the PVDF membrane with the corresponding β-actin, TRPC6 and TRPM4 primary antibodies at 4 ℃ overnight. Recover the primary antibody and wash with TBST, then incubate the PVDF membrane with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-coupled secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 h; discard the secondary antibody and wash with TBST, then add ECL chemiluminescence reagent and image with a full-automatic chemiluminescence image analysis system; analyze the relative expression of the target protein by ImageJ image analysis software to obtain the relative expression of the target protein Figure 2 .
[0030] From the attached Figure 2 It can be seen that after the mice were infected with influenza A H1N1 virus, the expression levels of TRPC6 and TRPM4 genes and proteins were significantly reduced, and after the intervention of Jingfang Mixture, the expression levels of the genes and proteins tended to be normal in mice. Based on this, in the examples of the present application, TRPC64 and TRPM4 are used as biomolecular recognition elements to construct a TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE biosensor, combined with UPLC-MS / MS technology, to identify the pungent and warm ingredients in Jingfang Mixture.
[0031] Example 2: Constructing a TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functional biosensor using TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptors as biomolecular recognition elements, and screening pungent and warm ingredients in Jingfang Mixture according to TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functional biosensor and UPLC-MS / MS technology 50 μL of a 20 mmol / L 3-mercaptopropionic acid solution (3-MPA) was dripped onto the surface of a screen-printed gold electrode (SPGE) to cover the working electrode. After reacting at 4°C for 17–24 h, Au-S bonds formed on the SPGE device surface, forming a carboxyl self-assembled monolayer. Free 3-MPA on the SPGE device surface was washed with ultrapure water. Then, 20 mmol / L 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and 50 mmol / L N-carboxylsuccinimide (NHS) were mixed in equal volumes to form a mixed solution. 100 μL of this mixed solution was dripped onto the SPGE device surface for activation at room temperature for 15 min, generating a stable amine-activated product that was subsequently used to activate the carboxyl groups. TRPC6 and TRPM4 proteins purchased from MCE were dissolved in 0.22 μM buffer and stored at -80°C. Add 194.8 μL of 10 mmol·L containing 0.1% BSA to 20 μg TRPVC6 protein at a concentration of 3.88 mg / mL. -1 PBS buffer solution was diluted to a concentration of 0.1 μg / μL TRPC6 protein solution and divided for use. TRPM4 protein was diluted to a 0.1 μg / μL TRPM4 protein solution as above. The surface of the SPGE device was washed with 10 mmol / L PBS buffer, and 30 μL of a 0.1 μg / μL TRPC6 / TRPM4 protein solution was added dropwise. The reaction was carried out at 4°C for 2-4 hours. The TRPC6 / TRPM4 protein was covalently modified to the surface of the SPGE device to obtain a TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functionalized biosensor. Figure 3 The prepared TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functionalized biosensor is connected to an adapter and integrated with an electrochemical workstation and a current signal receiving and processing system for online detection.
[0032] In order to detect the stability of the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE biosensor chip, the electrochemical workstation was used to collect the Jingfang mixture sample solution on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th day after the successful construction of the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE biosensor chip. I DS - V DS Specifically, the same concentration of Jingfang mixture sample solution was divided into 6 parts, and the electrochemical workstation was used to collect the I DS - V DS The electrochemical workstation was used to collect the sample solution of Jingfang mixture six times. IDS - V DS Statistical comparison of the six detection signals was performed to evaluate the precision. Figure 4 The preparation of the Jingfang mixture sample solution includes: taking 10 ml of Jingfang mixture, centrifuging at 12000 rpm for 10 minutes, taking the supernatant, and obtaining a Jingfang mixture sample solution with an initial concentration of 1 g / mL. Diluting the mixture 16 times in a 10-fold concentration gradient to obtain a concentration of 10 -1 -10 -16 The sample solution of Jingfang mixture with a concentration of 0.5 g / mL (C1-C16) was stored in the dark at 4°C until use.
[0033] By the attached Figure 4 As can be seen, the current of the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE biosensor chip remained relatively stable within 5 days, with no significant performance changes. The chip exhibited excellent stability, allowing for sample testing during this period. Furthermore, the RSD values for both repeatability and precision tests were less than 5%, demonstrating excellent repeatability and precision. This demonstrates that the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE biosensor chip has good performance and can be used in subsequent experiments.
[0034] After verifying the good performance of the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE biosensor chip, a 1 g / mL Jingfang mixture sample solution was added dropwise to the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functionalized biosensor and allowed to react at 4°C for 5-10 minutes. After the reaction, components not bound to the TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptors on the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE functionalized biosensor were first eluted with PBS buffer. Components bound to the TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptors were then eluted six times using hyperforin, a specific eluent found to have a strong interaction with TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptors in the literature, to obtain an eluate. Phosphonates were removed from the eluate using solid-phase extraction (SPE) with methanol as the solvent. The solvent was then evaporated using a vacuum concentrator at 30°C and 1300 rpm / min to obtain a concentrated solution. The concentrate was re-dissolved in 80% methanol and filtered through a 0.22 μm microporous membrane. The filtrate was analyzed by UPLC-MS / MS technology to obtain the pungent and warm components in the Jingfang mixture. Figure 5 .
[0035] Among them, the UPLC-MS / MS technical conditions are: Chromatographic conditions: Hypersil GOLD C 18The chromatographic column was set at a temperature of 30 °C and the injection volume was 5 μL. The mobile phase A was 0.05% formic acid in water and the mobile phase B was 0.05% formic acid in acetonitrile. The flow rate was 0.3 mL / min and the elution gradient was as follows: 0 min, 97% A-3% B; 5 min, 80% A-20% B; 25 min, 70% A-30% B; 33 min, 55% A-45% B; 38 min, 0% A-100% B; 40 min, 0% A-100% B; 40.1 min, 97% A-3% B; 45 min, 97% A-3% B.
[0036] Mass spectrometry conditions: electrospray ion source, positive and negative ion mode switching detection, spray voltage of 3 kV; capillary temperature of 350°C; sheath gas and auxiliary gas were both nitrogen, with flow rates of 10 mL / min and 3 mL / min, respectively; scan mode: Full MS / ddMS2; Full MS resolution of 70,000, dd-MS2 resolution of 17,500; scan range: m / z 80-1200.
[0037] By the attached Figure 6 It can be seen that a total of 28 chemical components that interact with TRPC6 were analyzed from the specific eluates of the Jingfang mixture that interacted with TRPC6 and TRPM4, including: peucedanin, 5-O-methylvisaminol glycoside*, naringin*, hesperidone, peucedanin, hydrated oxypeucedanin, angelicol G, glycyrrhizic acid*, nobiletin*, hesperidin, imperatorin*, isocitric acid, umbelliferone, naringin, hesperidin*, neohesperidin*, 5-O-methylvisaminol, 6'-O-(trans-feruloyl)-peucedanin, epoxyhesperidin, isohesperidone, uralcone B, hydroxy-3-butenylphthalide, 3,5,6,7,8,3',4'-heptamethoxyflavone, peucedanin A, hesperidin, isoimperatorin*, and peucedanin A*; 21 chemical components that interact with TRPM4, mainly including peucedanin, 5-O-methylvisaminol glycoside*, naringin*, hesperidone, liquiritigenin*, glycyrrhizic acid*, nobiletin*, imperatorin, isocitric acid, naringin, hesperidin*, neohesperidin*, baicalin*, chelidonol glycoside*, luteolin*, trans-dehydroosthol, isohesperidone, saikosaponin A*, saikosaponin D*, isoimperatorin*, and peucedanin A*.
[0038] Based on the TRPC6 / TRPM4-SPE biosensor chip integrated with UPLC-MS / MS technology, the pungent and warm components of Jingfang mixture were identified and discovered. However, the interaction between the pungent and warm components obtained by fishing and the TRPC6 / TRPM4 receptors still needs further verification.
[0039] Specifically, 4.6 mg of 5-O-methylvisaminol glycoside and 6.0 mg of naringin were accurately weighed, 50 μL of DMSO was added to fully dissolve them, and then diluted to 10 mL with ultrapure water to obtain a concentration of 10 -3 mol / L 5-O-methylvisaminol glycoside sample solution (W1) and a concentration of 10 -3 mol / L naringin sample solution (Y1), and then diluted 11 times in a 10-fold concentration gradient to obtain a concentration of 10 -4 -10 -14 mol / L 5-O-methylvisamidoside sample solution (W2-W14) and 10 -4 -10 -14 mol / L naringin sample solutions (Y2-Y14). The same process as that used in the analysis of the pungent and warm components in Jingfang mixture was used to calculate the dissociation constants of the interaction between 5-O-methylvisaminol and naringin with TRPC6 and TRPM4, respectively ( K D ) value, proving that the fishing results are reliable and reliable. Figure 7 .
[0040] By the attached Figure 7 It can be seen that 10 -16 mol / L to 10 -5 mol / L 5-O-methylvisaminol glycosides have good I DS - V DS Signal changes, with TRPC6 at 10 -14 mol / L to 10 -9 There is a good linear relationship within the mol / L concentration range. K D The value is 4.16×10 -12 ; and TRPM4 in 10 -13 mol / L to 10 -9 There is a good linear relationship within the mol / L concentration range. K D The value is 1.60×10 -12 , the affinity strength is very strong, indicating that the fishing results are reliable.
