Integrated Thermal Proteome Profiling and Affinity Ultrafiltration Mass Spectrometry (iTPAUMS): A Novel Paradigm for Elucidating the Mechanism of Action of Natural Products.

Natural products (NPs) are foundational to drug discovery, offering a rich repertoire of molecular diversity with multifaceted modes of action against a broad array of targets. Despite their potential, deconvoluting the intricate mechanism of action (MoA) of NPs, characterized by their multicomponent, multitarget, and multilevel interactions, remains a formidable challenge. Here, we introduce an innovative pipeline called integrated thermal proteome profiling and affinity ultrafiltration mass spectrometry (iTPAUMS).

Integrated metabolomics and proteomics analyses to reveal anticancer mechanism of hemp oil extract in colorectal cancer.

Cannabis sativa L., with a rich history in Chinese folk medicine, includes hemp strains that offer substantial economic and medical benefits due to their non-addictive properties. Hemp has demonstrated various pharmaceutical activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor effects.

Network pharmacology combined with affinity ultrafiltration to elucidate the potential compounds of Shaoyao Gancao Fuzi Decoction for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Shaoyao Gancao Fuzi Decoction (SGFD), has been employed for thousands of years in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with remarkable clinical efficacy. However, the material basis underlying the effectiveness of SGFD still remains unclear.

Aim Of The Review: This study aims to elucidate the material basis of SGFD through the application of network pharmacology and biological affinity ultrafiltration.

Exploration of the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Lanqin oral solution based on the network pharmacology analysis optimized by Q-markers selection.

Network pharmacology is widely used to predict the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicines (TCM), but the framework in traditional network pharmacology analysis ignores the relationship between the concentration of components and drug efficacy. Lanqin oral solution (LOS) is a TCM formulation that widely used in the clinical treatment of pharyngitis, but its pharmacodynamic mechanism is still unknown. The present study was designed to elaborate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of LOS based on the quality markers (Q-markers).
