ABSTRACT
Objective: To analyze and compare the difference in volatile components in Achyranthesbidentatae Radix, salt-pro-cessed product of Achyranthes bidentatae Radix and wine-processed product of Achyranthes bidentatae Radix. Methods:Headspace sol-id-phase microextraction ( HS-SPME) was used to extract the volatile components from Achyranthes bidentatae Radix and the two pro-cessed product of Achyranthes bidentatae radix. The chemical compositions were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry ( GC-MS) , and their relative mass fraction of each component was determined by an area normalization method. Results:A total of 38 chemical components were identified, and 23, 16 and 15 components were respectively identified from Achyranthes bidentatae Radix, the salt-processed product of Achyranthes bidentatae Radix and the wine-processed product of Achyranthes bidentatae Radix accounted for 79. 14%, 49. 80% and 44. 57% of the total content of volatile components, respectively. There were 4 types of common volatile chemical constituents in the three products. Compared with Achyranthes bidentatae Radix, 10 types of new compounds were produced and 17 types of old compounds disappeared in the salt-processed product, and 9 types of new compounds were produced and 17 types of old compounds disappeared in the wine-processed product. Conclusion:Different processing methods have some influence on the type and the content of the volatile components in Achyranthes bidentatae Radix. Using HS-SPME-GC-MS combination technique can quickly and effectively obtain the volatile components information for Achyranthes bidentatae Radix, which can provide scientific reference for the quality evaluation and application of the processed products of Achyranthes bidentatae Radix.

ABSTRACT
Different processed volatile oils from AS on urine metabolites of normal rats were analyzed to reveal the possible metabolic pathways. Totally 50 male Waster rats were randomly divided into normal control group, C-ASVO group, J-ASVO group, T-ASVO group and Y-ASVO group, with 10 rats in each group. The normal group was given isovolumetric 0.5% polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester（Tween-80）, while the other groups were given 0.176 mL•kg⁻¹ different processed volatile oils from AS. Drugs were given for 3 successive days. The urine was collected at 48 h with metabolic cages. GC-MS was employed to detect the metabolic fingerprint of rat urine in different times. Principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) were adopted for a multivariate statistical analysis. Metabolites with potential differences were selected based on the results of variable importance in the projection(VIP) and t test. The metabolic pathway analysis(MetPA) database was built for different metabolites' metabolic pathways. The results showed that compared with the normal group, 31 kinds of endogenous metabolites in the different processed volatile oils from AS groups change significantly(P<0.05). And there were differences in normal rat urine metabolites among the different processed volatile oils from AS, of which the influence degree of J-ASVO was slightly stronger than C-ASVO, T-ASVO, and Y-ASVO. Therefore, the metabolism effect may be focused on energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism and glucose metabolism. This study focused on metabolism and mechanism of different processed volatile oils from AS, and provided new ideas for pharmacological actions of traditional Chinese medicines.
ABSTRACT
To evaluate the anti-acute inflammation effects of volatile oils from different processed products of Angelicae Sinensis Radix(AS) in the rat model of acute inflammation established by the metabolomic method. Volatile oil of charred AS (C-VOAS), wine-processed AS (J-VOAS), locally processed AS (T-VOAS) and oil-process AS (Y-VOAS) were applied to intervene the rat acute paw swelling inflammation model induced by Carrageenan. Changes in serum HIS, 5-HT, PGE2 and TNF-α content in rats were detected. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to detect the metabolites in plasma. Potential biomarkers were investigated according to principal component analysis method and partial least-squares discriminant analysis. According to the results, C-VOAS and J-VOAS could significantly inhibit inflammatory mediators Histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, prostaglandin-E2 and cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (P<0.01), and T-VOAS and Y-VOAS also showed a significantly inhibitory effect (P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, 14 endogenous metabolite biomarkers showed metabolic disturbance in plasma (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with acute inflammation model group, C-VOAS and J-VOAS could better recover the levels of the endogenous metabolites (P<0.05 or P<0.01) than T-VOAS and Y-VOAS (P<0.05 or P<0.01). This study suggests that C-VOAS and J-VOAS show a better anti-inflammatory effect than T-VOAS and Y-VOAS. Therefore, the metabolomic method could be used to expound the anti-inflammatory mechanism of volatile oils from different processed products of AS, and provide a theoretical basis for clinical application of VOAS.
