Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical detection, in particular to a method for identifying all components and blood-entering components in Xueteng Qubi Decoction. BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY

[0002] Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease mainly characterized by chronic, progressive and erosive arthritis. Its clinical manifestations are symmetric joint swelling and pain, morning stiffness and dysfunction, and its pathology is centered on synovial inflammation, pannus formation, articular cartilage and bone tissue destruction. It has the characteristics of high incidence rate, high disability rate, protracted course of disease and poor prognosis.

[0003] Traditional Chinese medicine and ethnic medicine have a long history and unique advantages in the treatment of arthralgia. As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine in China, Dong ethnic medicine has accumulated rich clinical experience in treating rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. Xueteng Qubi Decoction, which is composed of Sargentodoxae Caulis, Acanthopanacis Cortex, Zanthoxyli Dissiti Radis et Cortex, Drynariae Rhizoma and Phrynops Vernoniae, is an empirical prescription for treating rheumatic arthralgia formed based on the Dong medical theory of "wind qi disease". It is clinically used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and other diseases, with definite curative effect, high safety and important clinical application value.

[0004] With the deepening of modernization of traditional Chinese medicine and research on ethnic medicine, systematic characterization of all components of compound prescriptions and identification of blood-entering effective substances have become key scientific issues for explaining the action mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine compound prescriptions, establishing quality control standards, and promoting new drug research and development. However, current research on Xueteng Qubi Decoction still focuses on clinical experience application and curative effect observation, and has the following obvious deficiencies: (1) Xueteng Qubi Decoction compound is composed of multiple Chinese medicinal materials, with complex chemical components, and the whole component system has not been systematically clarified; (2) The blood-entering components and in vivo metabolic characteristics have not been studied, so the active substance group that actually enters the body to exert the effect cannot be determined; (3) There is still a lack of efficient, accurate and systematic component identification technical methods.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for identifying all components and blood-entering components in Xueteng Qubi Decoction, which aims to systematically analyze the effective components of Xueteng Qubi Decoction through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry coupled LC-MS / MS analysis technology, and further reveal its blood-entering components in animals, so as to provide a scientific basis for in-depth research on pharmacodynamic mechanism, optimization of prescription compatibility, and establishment of a targeted quality evaluation system.

Compounds identified in this experiment (including those identified by both positive and negative ions) were annotated according to the NPClassifier classification method, with the number of compounds identified in each pathway and major superclass. The NPClassifier classification system divides the structure of natural products into three levels: 7 pathways, 70 superclasses, and 672 classes. The pathways include fatty acids, polyketides, shikimates and phenylpropanoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, amino acids and peptides, and carbohydrates, used to represent different biosynthetic pathways. A natural product can belong to multiple pathways. Superclasses represent subcategories of pathways, representing general categories of metabolites (e.g., flavonoids, terpenoids, or steroids), general chemical / molecular shapes (e.g., tryptophan, macrolides), or biosynthetic information (e.g., tryptophan alkaloids, aromatic polyketides, or pseudoalkaloids). Classes are further subdivided from superclasses, representing specific compound families (e.g., erythromycin, penicillin, or cannabinoids), characteristic functional groups (e.g., chromones, isoflavones, or indole alkaloids), or superclass skeletal diversity (e.g., flavanones, flavonoids, and chalcones among flavonoids). Statistical results showed that 2444 were detected and identified in the XTQBD extract under positive ion mode and 1477 under negative ion mode, resulting in a total of 3798 chemical components after removing duplicates.

[0080] 4. Discussion The pharmacodynamic material basis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound formulas is the core of their clinical efficacy. Clarifying the in vitro and in vivo chemical composition of these formulas, as well as their active components entering the bloodstream, is crucial for revealing their pharmacodynamic mechanisms, optimizing compatibility, and establishing a scientific quality control system. XTQBD is an effective TCM formula for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Its chemical composition is complex and diverse, with numerous isomers and a wide range of component content and polarity, posing many challenges to the study of its pharmacodynamic material basis. This study used LC-MS / MS technology to systematically analyze the in vitro extract of XTQBD and its components entering the bloodstream of animals, elucidating the material basis of XTQBD's therapeutic effect on RA.

[0081] 4.1 Diversity and characteristics of in vitro chemical components of XTQBD The clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound formulas relies on the synergistic effects of multiple chemical components, and comprehensive characterization of their in vitro chemical components is a prerequisite for research on the pharmacodynamic material basis. This study, using UPLC-HRMS technology combined with the NPClassifier classification system, identified a total of 3798 chemical components in the XTQBD extract, covering seven major biosynthetic pathways: fatty acids, polyketides, shikimate-phenylpropanoids, terpenes, alkaloids, amino acids / peptides, and carbohydrates. This fully demonstrates the "multi-component, multi-target" characteristics of this compound formula.

[0082] In terms of compound category distribution, shikimate-phenylpropanoids accounted for the highest proportion (26%), with 239 flavonoids among them. These components are widely present in traditional Chinese medicine and have been proven to have significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects. The pathological process of RA is closely related to excessive activation of the inflammatory response and imbalance of oxidative stress. The abundant flavonoids in XTQBD may exert their anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and scavenging oxidative free radicals. Alkaloids (23%) and terpenes (19%) were the second and third dominant components, respectively. Among the alkaloids, tryptophan alkaloids (105) and tyrosine alkaloids (93) and among the terpenes, steroids (154) and sesquiterpenes (124) have been reported in previous studies to exert anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immune cell-regulating pharmacological activities by regulating the balance of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and T helper 17 / regulatory T cell (Th17 / Treg). It is speculated that they may be an important material basis for XTQBD in the treatment of RA. Furthermore, the presence of fatty acids (12%), amino acids / peptides (8%), polyketides (7%), and carbohydrates (3%) further enriches the chemical composition of this compound. These components may exert their therapeutic effects indirectly through pathways such as participating in energy metabolism, regulating intestinal flora balance, and enhancing the body's immunity, demonstrating the overall advantage of the synergistic effect of multiple components in traditional Chinese medicine compound formulas. This experiment systematically categorized the biosynthetic pathways, superclasses, and specific categories of XTQBD compounds, clearly presenting the distribution characteristics of various components. This provides a clear direction for subsequent targeted screening of active ingredients and lays a chemical foundation for a deeper understanding of the compatibility of XTQBD.

[0083] 4.2 Screening of XTQBD Components Entering the Bloodstream and Correlation Analysis with Efficacy After oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, only the original components or their metabolites absorbed into the bloodstream can exert direct pharmacological effects in the body. Therefore, the identification of blood-injected components is a core step in revealing the material basis of pharmacodynamic efficacy. This study identified 626 blood-injected components by comparing the compositional differences between XTQBD extract and serum samples. Among them, alkaloids, shikimate-phenylpropanoids, and terpenoids accounted for 24%, 24%, and 22% respectively, becoming the three dominant categories of blood-injected components. This is largely consistent with the dominant categories of in vitro chemical components, suggesting that these three categories of components have good oral bioavailability and may be the core substance group for XTQBD to exert its pharmacological effects in vivo.

[0084] Further screening identified 20 key blood-entry components, whose peak areas were significantly higher than those of serum background components, indicating stronger in vivo exposure characteristics, suggesting they are the key pharmacodynamic components of this formula. Among them, the coumarin compounds 7-Hydroxy-4-(methoxymethyl)coumarin and 7,8-Dimethoxycoumarin have been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the activation of the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6. The terpene component Toddalolactone has clear anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, and can alleviate inflammatory responses by regulating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. The alkaloid component Tyramine can participate in regulating the neuro-immune-endocrine network, indirectly improving the immune dysregulation state in RA patients. The pharmacological activities of these components are highly consistent with the pathological mechanisms of RA, further confirming the close correlation between the blood-entry components screened in this study and the anti-RA efficacy of XTQBD.

[0085] 4.3 Comprehensive Analysis of the Pharmacodynamic Material Basis of XTQBD Based on the identification results of in vitro chemical components and absorbed blood components, the pharmacodynamic substance network of XTQBD for RA treatment can be preliminarily constructed. Among the 3798 chemical components identified in vitro, some components are not absorbed into blood due to excessive molecular weight, inappropriate polarity or first-pass effect, but they may exert local effects in the intestinal tract, such as regulating intestinal flora structure, protecting intestinal mucosal barrier, and indirectly participating in immune regulation; while the 626 components absorbed into blood, especially the 20 main blood-absorbed components, reach the lesion site through blood circulation and directly exert pharmacological effects. Core components such as flavonoids, alkaloids and terpenoids may achieve anti-RA efficacy through multi-target synergistic effects such as inhibiting inflammatory signaling pathways, regulating immune cell function, resisting oxidative stress, and inhibiting osteoclast activity. In addition, the source and compatibility logic of some blood-absorbed components in XTQBD deserve attention. As an ethnic medicine compound prescription, the synergistic effect of its constituent herbs may be realized through the complementarity of chemical components. For example, flavonoids and alkaloids from different medicinal materials cooperate with each other to enhance the anti-inflammatory effect; amino acid / peptide components provide nutritional support for the body and assist in the repair of immune function. This finding provides a new idea for optimizing prescription compatibility and improving clinical efficacy, and also provides a chemical basis for the modernization interpretation of ethnic medicine.

[0086] 5. Summary In this study, UPLC-HRMS combined technology was used to perform LC-MS / MS analysis on the active components of XTQBD and its absorbed blood components. The experimental results show that the chemical composition of XTQBD covers fatty acids, polyketones, shikimate-phenylpropanoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, amino acids / peptides, carbohydrates and other various compounds, suggesting that its therapeutic effect on RA originates from the synergistic effect of multiple components. 20 main blood-absorbed components were further screened and identified, which are likely to be the key substances for Xueteng Qubi Decoction to exert anti-RA efficacy, thus revealing the pharmacodynamic material basis of this prescription for RA treatment. This study preliminarily clarified the material basis of XTQBD for RA treatment, provides a theoretical basis for its pharmacological mechanism research, and also lays a foundation for further exploration of its mechanism of action.
