Mechanisms of Fuke Qianjin Capsules in treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease based on GC-MS metabolomics / 中国中药杂志

Pelvic inflammatory disease( PID) rat model was induced by the mixture of Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus,and Streptococcus hemolytic-β． Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry( GC-MS) based metabolic profiling method was combined with multivariate statistical analysis,such as PCA,PLS-DA and OPLS-DA to analyze endogenous small molecule metabolites in serum of rats after treatment of Fuke Qianjin Capsules. The results showed that Fuke Qianjin Capsules could significantly improve the inflammatory pathological characteristics and tissue damages in model rats. Based on the principle of VIP>1 and P<0. 05,a total of 6 different metabolic biomarkers were identified,including L-valine,L-isoleucine,L-threonine,butanedioic acid,serine and D-glucose,respectively.The contents of these six different metabolites were significantly reversed after administration. Further analysis of the metabolite pathways through KEGG database showed that Fuke Qianjin Capsules achieved the effect possibly through glycine,serine and threonine metabolism,aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis and valine,leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis. Therefore,this study came to the conclusion that Fuke Qianjin Capsules can be used in the treatment of mixed bacteria induced pelvic inflammatory disease possibly by regulating amino acid and its derivative metabolism.

Characteristic fingerprint and multi-components quantitative determination for Fuke Qianjin Capsules by HPLC / 中国中药杂志

To establish an HPLC characteristic fingerprint method of Fuke Qianjin Capsules,and determine the contents of its main components. The analysis was carried out on a Kromasil 100-5-C18 analytical column(4. 6 mm ×250 mm,5 μm) with gradient elution by acetonitrile(A)-0. 1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution(B),a flow rate at 1. 0 m L·min-1 and the detection wavelength of 254 nm.The column temperature was 30 ℃,and the injection volume was 10 μL. The determination method of genistin,jatrorrhizine,andrographolide and 14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide index components were studied methodologically. The common mode of the characteristic fingerprint of Fuke Qianjin Capsules was set up with 8 common peaks,which were identified as genistin,jatrorrhizine,palmatine,berberine,andrographolide,14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide,Z-ligustilide,and Z-3-butylidenephthalide,respectively,in comparison with the references. The similarities of 20 batches of Fuke Qianjin Capsules samples were above 0. 95. All of the above-mentioned 4 analytes could be well separated under the optimized chromatographic conditions. RSD of precision and repeatability experiment were both less than 1. 5%,and the sample solution was stable during 72 h. All of the compounds had a good linearity and linear range. The contents of genistin,jatrorrhizine,andrographolide,and 14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide in 20 batches of Fuke Qianjin Capsules samples were 28. 66-56. 04,94. 77-197. 92,1 705. 33-4 148. 93 and 462. 16-1 225. 96 μg in each capsule,respectively. The developed HPLC characteristic fingerprint and quantitative analysis methods were reliable,accurate and sensitive,and could be used effectively evaluate the quality of Fuke Qianjin Capsules samples.
