Résumé

UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS/MS was used to systematically analyze and compare the alkaloids in Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix, Aconiti Radix, and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata. After the samples were pretreated in the solid-phase extraction cartridges, 0.1% ammonium hydroxide(A)-acetonitrile(B) was used for gradient elution. The LC-MS method for characterization of alkaloids in the three herbal medicines was established in ESI positive ion mode to collect high resolution MS data of reference substances and samples. On the basis of the information of reference substance cracking behavior, retention time, accurate molecular mass, and related literature, a total of 155 alkaloids were identified in Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix, Aconiti Radix, and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Prae-parata. Specifically, 130, 127, and 92 alkaloids were identified in Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix, Aconiti Radix, and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, respectively. Monoester alkaloids and amino-alcohol alkaloids were dominant in the three herbal medicines, and the alkaloids in Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix and Aconiti Radix were similar. This paper can provide a reference for elucidating the pharmacological effects and clinical application differences of the three herbal medicines produced from plants of Aconitum.

Résumé

Objective:To study the effects of different processing methods on the anti-gouty arthritis and cardiotoxicity of Aconiti Radix, and to explore the possible attenuation and synergism mechanism of these different processing methods. Method:The swelling degree of knee joint, levels of inflammatory factors [interleukin (IL) -1<italic>β</italic>, IL-18, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-<italic>α</italic>] and the activities of liver energy metabolism-related enzymes [Ca<sup>2+</sup>-Mg<sup>2+</sup>-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), Na<sup>+</sup>-K<sup>+</sup>-ATPase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)] in rats with gouty arthritis were used as indicators to evaluate the effects of pharmacopoeia steaming Aconiti Radix, pharmacopoeia boiling Aconiti Radix, Jianchang faction processed Aconiti Radix, Zhang faction processed Aconiti Radix and raw Aconiti Radix. The activity of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the content of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were used as indexes to evaluate the cardiotoxicity of Aconiti Radix and its different processed products. Result:In the anti-gouty arthritis test, compared with the blank group, the knee joint of the model group was significantly swollen (<italic>P</italic><0.01), the levels of IL-1<italic>β</italic>, IL-18, and TNF-<italic>α</italic> in serum were significantly increased (<italic>P</italic><0.01), and the Ca<sup>2+</sup>-Mg<sup>2+</sup>-ATPase activity was significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic><0.01). Compared with the model group, raw Aconiti Radix and the four processed products could reduce knee joint swelling and decrease IL-1<italic>β</italic>, IL-18, and TNF-<italic>α</italic> levels in serum of rats. The activity of Ca<sup>2+</sup>-Mg<sup>2+</sup>-ATPase in the liver of rats from the pharmacopoeia steaming Aconiti Radix group was significantly higher than that in the model group (<italic>P</italic><0.01), and there was no statistical difference in other groups. In the cardiotoxicity test, compared with the blank group, the activities of CK and LDH were significantly increased and the level of BNP was significantly increased in the raw Aconiti Radix group and the pharmacopoeia steaming/boiling Aconiti Radix groups (<italic>P</italic><0.01). In terms of LDH activity and BNP content, the Zhang faction and Jianchang faction processed Aconiti Radix groups were significantly lower than those in the raw Aconiti Radix group (<italic>P</italic><0.01). In the CK activity, the Zhang faction processed Aconiti Radix group was significantly lower than that in the raw Aconiti Radix group (<italic>P</italic><0.01). Conclusion:Raw Aconiti Radix and the four processed products have certain anti-inflammatory effects, but there are some differences among different indicators. There are significant differences in cardiotoxicity between the raw products and processed products of Aconiti Radix, and the cardiotoxicity of Jianchang faction and Zhang faction processed products was the weakest.

Résumé

Aconiti Radix is a kind of medicinal material with great toxicity, which has more than 2 000 years of clinical application history, in the folk, there are often poisoning accidents caused by improper processing. The main processing purpose of Aconiti Radix in the early period was to reduce the toxicity with simple procedure and single excipient. Since the Song dynasty, with the deepening of physicians' cognition of processing and the theory of medicinal properties, the application of procedures and materials in the processing of Aconiti Radix began to become complicated, and the scope of clinical application was further expanded. In modern times, the processing technology of Aconiti Radix is mainly based on steaming and boiling, which is quite different from the traditional processing method with multiple materials and multiple processes. Based on the characteristics of many kinds of materials and processes, this paper discusses the change in processing methods of Aconiti Radix from the perspective of excipients and processes, as well as modern processing research, in order to lay a scientific foundation for exploring the effects of many kinds of materials and processes on the quality of Aconiti Radix and revealing its processing mechanism, and provide basis and reference for establishing a more reasonable and scientific processing method for Aconiti Radix in the future.

Résumé

Objective: To optimize the forming process of gel patch and explore the compatibility-synergistic mechanism of Aconiti Radix-Zanthoxyli Pericarpium volatile oil gel patch. Methods: According to the indexes of skin followability, disclosing ability, initial adhesion and peeling degree, the substrate-property of eight commercially gel patches was evaluated. Then, with the comprehensive sensory evaluation, initial adhesion, stickiness and peeling degree as the index, single factor experiment and mixture design experiment were used to screen the proportion of matrix excipients of gel patch. Taking the number of acetic acid-induced writhing in mice as the index, the drug loading of gel paste was screened by in vivo animal evaluation. In addition, the compatibility effect of Aconiti Radix-Zanthoxyli Pericarpium volatile oil gel patch was studied by using formaldehyde-induced pain model and metabolomics. Results: Different brands of gel plaster had great difference in their skin followability, disclosing ability, initial adhesion and peeling degree. The initial adhesion and peel degree of gel patch had great influence on its disclosing ability and the greater the initial adhesion and peel degree were, the worse disclosing ability was. The matrix of the Aconiti Radix gel patch was 3% polyacrylic acid sodium NP700, 1.5% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium, 0.25% Carbomer, 0.06% crystalline aluminum chloride, 0.1% ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid two sodium, 26% glycerol, 61.5% water, 4% diatomaceous earth, 0.15% tartaric acid; Drug dosage of each gel patch was 560 mg extracts of Aconiti Radix. Zanthoxyli Pericarpium olatile oil could enhance the analgesic effect of Aconiti Radix gel patch, which might be mainly through glycerol phospholipid metabolism and linoleic acid metabolism. Conclusion: To ensure better adherence and disclosure of gel patch, the initial adhesive force of gel patch should be controlled between 7-18 balls and the peel degree should be controlled between 0.03-0.97 kN/m. The Prepared Aconiti Radix gel patch has a good appearance, adhesion and shape with a clear analgesic effect, and Zanthoxyli Pericarpium olatile oil can enhance analgesic effect of Aconiti Radix gel patch. This study provides a basis for the development and application of new preparations for the external use in Aconiti Radix.

Résumé

Trace metals deficiency or excess are associated with the etiology and pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis(RA). Aconiti Radix Cocta(A) and Paeoniae Radix Alba(B) are commonly used together for the treatment of RA. In this study, we aim to determine anti-arthritic-related metal bioavailability in the compatibility of herb A and B for avoiding metal deficiency or excess, and optimize the combination ratio of herb A and B, accordingly. Anti-arthritic-related metal bioaccessibility were evaluated by in vitro simulator of all gastrointestinal tract(including mouth, stomach, small and large intestines), and the roles of gastrointestinal digestive enzymes and intestinal microflora were investigated. Anti-arthritic-related metal bioavailability was assessed by the affinity adsorption with liposomes. The results indicated that compatibility proportion of corresponding herbal plants, gastrointestinal digestion and microbial metabolic, which could affect metal digestion and absorption. The optimal compatibility proportion of 1 A∶1 B is recommended, according to the dose of anti-arthritic-related metal bioavailability, which is often chosen for clinical practice of RA therapy. Thus, anti-arthritic-related metal bioavailability might be the key active substances for RA treatment.

Résumé

Aconitums,represented by Aconite Radix,Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata and Aconiti Kusnezoffh Folium,is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine with a long medicinal history in China. They possess the significant toxicity and therapeutic effects simultaneously. Their potent effects of rescuing from dying,curing rheumatism,anti-inflammation,and analgesia make Aconitums highly regarded by physicians and pharmacists of various dynasties. However,countless poisoning cases caused by an irrational use of Aconitums were reported. In case of improper application and exceeding the therapeutic window,the acute cardiotoxicity and neurotoxicity would be caused,seriously threatening health and even life of the users. Therefore,the clinical application of Aconitums is limited to some extent. To avoid its toxicity and ensure the safety of medicinal use,Aconitums is usually used in a form of its processed products instead of the crude herbs,or combined with some other traditional Chinese medicines in a normal prescription. A proper processing and compatibility method can detoxicate its severe toxicity,reduce the adverse reactions,and also significantly broaden the indications and application range of Aconitums. This provides a guarantee for the secondary exploitation and utilization of Aconitums. In this paper,the traditional processing methods of Aconitums,along with the modern advancement were reviewed,and the mechanisms of detoxification by processing and compatibility were also illuminated. The physical detoxification mode and chemical detoxification mode were found as two main detoxification ways for Aconitums. In particular,the detoxification by hydrolysis,ion-pair,and saponification were three main means. The mechanisms illustrated in this paper can be a reference to the development of modern processing method and a guidance for appropriate use of Aconitums in clinical application.

Résumé

Aconiti Radix is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine( TCM) herb in clinic,with the effects in expelling wind and removing damness,warming menstruation and relieving pain. With a long medicinal history and high medicinal value,it was used for anemofrigid-damp arthralgia,arthralgia,cold hernia and anesthesia analgesia. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Aconiti Radix has a good therapeutic effect on rheumatoid arthritis,neuropathic pain and hypertension. As a well-known toxic TCM herb,its main pharmacodynamic and toxic components are alkaloids,which can lead to neurotoxicity and cardiotoxicity while exerting anti-inflammatory,analgesic,anti-tumor and other pharmacodynamic effects. Therefore,it is often processed to reduce its toxicity or combined with Paeoniae Radix Alba and Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix to achieve the purpose of reducing toxicity and increasing efficacy in clinic.In recent years,with the deepening of the study on the incompatibility of TCM represented by " eighteen incompatible herbs",there have been new findings about TCM incompatibility. It has been found complementary effect,rather than no obvious toxic and side effects after the combination with incompatible herbs of Aconiti Radix. To provide the basis for further study and clinical application of Aconiti Radix,this paper reviewed chemical components,pharmacological action,toxicity and compatibility of Aconiti Radix by consulting relevant literatures published in recent years at home and abroad. Meanwhile,this paper also described the relationship between chemical constituents,as well as anti-inflammatory,analgesic,anti-tumor and other pharmacological effects and toxicity.

Résumé

Objective: To establish a UPLC method for the simultaneous determination of benzoylmesaconitine, benzoylaconitine, benzoylhypaconitine, mesaconitine, hypaconitine and aconitinein Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (ALRP) and Aconiti Radix (AR), and to compare the content difference of six alkaloids in the samples with multivariate statistical analysis. Methods Alkaloids in ALRP and AR were extracted with 0.05 mol/mL hydrochloric acid solution by ultrasonic extraction. The UPLC method was performed on a BEH C18 (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) through a gradient elution of acetonitrile and water at a flow rate of 0.1 mL/min with column temperature at 35 ℃. The injection volume was set at 4.0 μL, and the detection wavelength was set at 235 nm. Difference significance analysis, activity ratio analysis, toxic constituents index analysis, correlation analysis, hierarchical cluster heatmap analysis, principal component analysis, and TOPSIS analysis were used for data processing to comprehensively evaluate the quality of ALRP and AR. Results The method was in accordance with the regulations. Compared with the content of six alkaloids in ALRP and AR, significant difference existed in mesaconitine, benzoylhypaconitine, aconitine, and monoester diterpenoid alkaloids (MDAs); Significant difference existed in benzoylmesaconitine and benzoylaconitine; There were no significant difference in hypaconitine and diester-diterpenoid alkaloids (DDAs). Taking the six alkaloids as indexes, the sample No. 15 of ALRP was the best in quality and the samples No. 7 of AR was the best in quality. Conclusion The established method is simple, accurate and reliable with good precision, repeatability and stability, which can be used for the simultaneous determination of six alkaloids in ALRP and AR. It is much more accurate and convenient to conduct the quality evaluation by using activity ratio, toxic constituents index and multivariate statistical analysis.

Résumé

Objective: To carry out the studies of pharmacological action for extracts of Aconiti Radix and Aconiti Radix Cocta, and evaluate the selection of raw materials in prescriptions, in order to promote the development and clinical application of preparations. Method: The mixed extracts of Aconiti Radix and Aconiti Radix Cocta were prepared respectively according to the technique of aconitum injection, and different dose groups of Aconiti Radix and Aconiti Radix Cocta were established based on the dose of Aconiti Radix 0.152 5 mg·g-1, and then applied in such pharmacodynamic tests as analgesia, heart rate reduction, antitumor effect and toxicology tests, such as acute toxicity and organ observation. The data were analyzed systematically on the basis of literatures. Result: Compared with blank group, the extracts of both Aconiti Radix and Aconiti Radix Cocta had a significantly analgesic effect. At the same dose, the pain inhibition rate of Aconiti Radix injection (60.91%) was higher than that of Aconiti Radix Cocta injection (53.42%), and the pain inhibition rate of Aconiti Radix extract for oral administration(73.94%) was also much higher than that of Aconiti Radix Cocta extract (29.97%), with significant differences (Pth min after administration, the heart rate of the Aconiti Radix group was decreased first, then stabilized, and finally increased with the rise of the dose, while for the Aconiti Radix Cocta group showed a different trend of first stability, then decrease and finally increase. The result indicated the Aconiti Radix group had the effect in reducing heart rate in rats at a low dose. The survival inhibition rate was evaluated by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). The extracts of both Aconiti Radix and Aconiti Radix Cocta had a significantly inhibitory effect on the proliferation of AGS gastric cancer cells, in which Aconiti Radix was stronger than that of Aconiti Radix Cocta at the same dose. In the acute toxicity test of rats, lethal dose 50%(LD50) of Aconiti Radix and Aconiti Radix Cocta were 3.9 g·kg-1 and 21.0 g·kg-1 respectively, which were equivalent to 4 times and 20 times of the clinical dose. LD50 of the extract of Aconiti Radix Cocta was 5 times than that of Aconiti Radix. The liver and kidney of dead rats were dark with obvious symptoms of poisoning after dissection, while all the organs of rats at the clinical and lower dose were normal. Conclusion: The safety of Aconiti Radix is lower than that of Aconiti Radix Cocta, but with greater analgesic, bradycardic and anticancerous effect. Therefore, it is suggested that the preparations, such as aconitum injection, should be prepared with Aconiti Radix in the treatment of severe pain of patients with advanced gastric and liver cancer, and the preparations for general pain can be prepared with Aconiti Radix Cocta, so as to achieve a truly safe and effective dialectical treatment.

Résumé

Inflammation is one of the important risk factors of rheumatic diseases. Aconiti Radix is widely used for the treatment of rheumatism, which has significant anti-inflammatory effects. However, its anti-inflammatory mechanism on molecular level is still not clear. The purpose of this study is to illuminate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Aconiti Radix based on the protein interaction network (PIN) analysis on molecular network level. The main anti-inflammatory components (aconitine, hypaconitine and mesaconitine) were chosen in this study to obtain the targets of the components and protein-protein information though databases retrieval and construct the PIN of Aconiti Radix. By a graph theoretic clustering algorithm molecular complex detection(MCODE), 13 modules were identified and analyzed by gene ontology(GO) enrichment. The results showed that the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Aconiti Radix was mainly associated with prostanoid metabolic process and leukocyte chemotaxis mediated by chemokines. In this study, the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Aconiti Radix was elucidated systematically from molecular network level, which provided the scientific basis for the treatment of rheumatic diseases.

Résumé

The Aconiti Radix Cocta gel and Aconiti Radix Cocta combined with Paeoniae Radix Alba gel were administered to mice. Physiological saline was taken as perfusate. The perfusion rate was 2 μL•min⁻¹ and the microdialysis samples were collected every 0.5 h intervals for eight times. The six aconitine alkaloids concentration in perfusate were determined by HPLC-MS/MS. The concentration-time curves were plotted, and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and analyzed by SPSS. The effects of Paeoniae Radix Alba on transdermal permeation role of six aconitine alkaloids in herb couple of Paeoniae Radix Alba-Aconiti Radix Cocta were investigated. According to the results, Tmax of the three mono-ester aconitum alkaloids of Aconiti Radix Cocta combined with Paeoniae Radix Alba groups were shortened, meanwhile, Cmax and AUC of benzoylaconine and benzoylhypaconine were increased. However, AUC of the three diester-type alkaloids were reduced, with Tmax of hypaconitine prolonged and Cmax lowered. The study suggested that the combined administration of Aconiti Radix Cocta and Paeoniae Radix Alba promoted the transdermal permeation of mono-ester aconitum alkaloids, and inhibited the absorption of parts of diester-type alkaloids. This study proved the decreasing toxicity and increasing efficacy of the combination of Aconiti Radix Cocta and Paeoniae Radix Alba on the transdermal permeation, and provided a reference for studies on the prescription combination regularity and relevant practices.

Résumé

Objective: To analyze the effect of starch composition on the dissolution of small molecular alkaloids in Aconiti Radix when co-decocted with medicines rich in starch, and to explore the mechanism of the effect of starch on alkaloids. Methods: RRLC-Q- TOF-MS was used to analyze the effect of starch on the dissolution of alkaloids in the decoctions. HPLC-UV was applied to determine the content of alkaloids in the decoctions of starches with alkaloids, and analysis of variance and partial least square method were used to analyse the difference. Results: The dissolution of alkaloids in Aconiti Radix, including the diester-, monoester-, and amine- diterpenoid alkaloids, wsa obviously decreased when co-decocted with starch, especially the monoester- and amine-diterpenoid alkaloids co-decocted with Pinelliae Rhizoma, Ampelopsis Radix, starch of Pinelliae Rhizoma, starch of Ampelopsis Radix, and normally sold starch, while the content of diester-diterpenoid alkaloids was increased when co-decocted with starch-removed Pinelliae Rhizoma and Ampelopsis Radix. When co-decocted directly with starch, free alkaloids in water decoction was decreased compared with the decoction without starch. Conclusion: Starch could inhibit the dissolution of alkaloids in Aconiti Radix in the decoction. Free Aconitum alkaloids could be integrated by the starch, which could finally affect their content in decoction.
