Abstract Introduction Zhen‐wu‐tang (ZWT) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula for the treatment of several kidney diseases. However, due to complexity TCM formula, there lack accurate knowledge chemical constituents ZWT and its bioactive components, as well in vivo metabolic pathway studies. Objectives The composition components along with pathways were investigated by combination profiling serum pharmacochemistry. Methods High‐resolution ultra‐performance liquid chromatography‐quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry was used identify metabolites vivo. Results As result, total 110 identified from solution, mainly amino acids, alkaloids, gingerols, monoterpene glycosides terpenoids, so on. In addition, 24 prototype 36 detected rat plasma. Meanwhile, 8 tissue but no metabolites. Interestingly, 4 28 both plasma renal tissue, which atractylenolide III, trimethoxyaconitane, methyl gallate, paeoniflorin. involved Phases I and/or II reactions such hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction hydration, methylation/demethylation, sulphation, glucuronidation, acetylation, glutathione conjugation. Conclusion Overall, present study has comprehensively elucidated potential metabolites, provides basis basic pharmacodynamic substances reference formulae.

Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a common continuous inflammation dermatosis requiring efficacious therapeutic intervention. Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex-Cnidii Fructus (PC) herb pair has shown effectiveness and security in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinical applications, yet its pharmacological constituents mechanisms are not fully elucidated. This study used serum pharmacochemistry, network pharmacology, validation experiments to examine the impact of PC treatment AD. Initially, ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) had been applied elucidate components that were absorbed. An integrative approach combining pharmacology vivo research (general index observation, skin pathological tissue staining, ELISA, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, Western blotting) was employed validate PC's mechanism action after 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) create mouse model Fifty-three compounds 18 prototype characterized within PC. The efficacy AD notably manifested alleviation pruritus, improvement histopathology, reduction cytokines involving IgE, IL-4, TNF-α IL-6. Based on molecular docking studies, pharmacodynamic such as phellodendrine, xanthotoxin, nomilin, isopimpinellin strongly favored main targets. Comprehensive investigations integrating studies revealed prevented DNCB-induced through adjusting TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. anti-AD effects may be attributed modulation pathway, NF-кB expression nucleusim, downregulation inflammatory cytokine levels, provement histopathological manifestations, pruritus.

Periodontitis (PD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent interlinked global health burdens, commonly causing significant clinical complications when coincident. Therefore, managing both conditions (T2DM with periodontitis, DP) simultaneously poses considerable challenges, necessitating novel therapeutic strategies. KQJF has been clinically proven to treat DP good efficacy, but its pharmacological substances targets are not clear urgently need be clarified. To define the potential active components of for treatment DP. The investigation commenced application UPLC-Q-TOF/MS analysis delineate constituents their associated in addressing Additionally, research incorporated subsequent methodologies such as machine learning, network pharmacology, molecular docking, dynamics simulations, a rat model was established validated by vivo experiments using H&E staining, immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot. found contain 49 prototype compounds 121 metabolites activity against PD T2DM. Network pharmacology revealed 66 overlapping genes between known Further exploration through PPI enrichment analyses illuminated involvement multi-target multi-pathway mechanisms. Molecular docking simulations confirmed robust interactions key within proteins diseases. In validation demonstrated that ameliorated DP-associated histopathological changes modulated expression crucial (including ABCG2, CCND1, CDKN1B, HIF1A, PIK3R1) model. summary, exhibits benefits multi-component approach, potentially offering integrative strategy. This study underscores importance integrating traditional medicine modern techniques explore avenues complex comorbid conditions, providing blueprint future explorations.

Dampness-heat syndrome diarrhea (DHSD) is a common clinical disease with high prevalence but still has no satisfactory therapeutic medicine, so the search for safe and effective drug candidate ongoing. This study aims to explore efficacy mechanisms of Lianweng granules (LWG) in treatment DHSD identify blood transport components LWG. We assessed LWG by various vivo metrics such as body weight, activity index (DAI), histopathologic examination, intestinal barrier function, levels inflammatory, apoptotic biomarkers, oxidative stress. identified using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS), resolved key were used relevant targets. next predicted potential treating network pharmacology molecular docking based on Finally, validated RT-qPCR, Western blotting, ELISA, immunofluorescence evaluated vitro Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), small interfering RNA, cellular enthusiasm transfer assay (CETSA), affinity response target stability (DARTS). Ninety-one pharmacodynamic enter bloodstream exert possible effects. In vivo, improved reduced colonic injury DAI scores, lowered inflammation, stress, apoptosis markers, partially restored function mice. Guided docking, it suggested that may effects inhibiting IL-6/STAT3/PI3K/AKT signaling. significantly decreased expression IL-6, p-STAT3, p-PI3K, p-AKT, other proteins. These findings supported experiments, where CETSA, DARTS, siRNA evidenced LWG’s targeting STAT3. targeted STAT3 inhibit colon, thereby restoring some extent exerting effect DHSD.
