Single-nucleus ribonucleic acid-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics reveal the cardioprotection of Shexiang Baoxin Pill (SBP) in mice with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

The Shexiang Baoxin Pill (SBP) has been extensively used to treat cardiovascular diseases in China for four decades, and its clinical efficacy has been widely approved. However, the mechanism by which this is achieved remains largely unexplored. Research attempting to understand the underlying mechanism is ongoing, but the findings are controversial.

Suxiao Jiuxin Pill alleviates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury through the ALKBH5/GSK3β/mTOR pathway.

Background: Many studies have shown effective protection from myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in animal models, but few, if any, treatments have yielded a substantial reduction in clinical. Several studies showed significant therapeutic effects for the Chinese patent medicine Suxiao Jiuxin Pill (SJP) in MIRI, although the specific molecular mechanisms remain undefined. Recently, increasing evidence indicates an important role for m6A modification in autophagy regulation in MIRI, and SJP has not been investigated in this regard.

Evaluation of Potential Herb-Drug Interactions Between Shengmai Injection and Losartan Potassium in Rat and .

The present study aimed to explore the potential herb-drug interactions (HDI) between Shengmai injection (SMI) and losartan potassium (LOS) based on the expression profiles of cytochromes P450 (CYP450) and drug transporters in rat and . Different concentrations of SMI were used to explore the influence of SMI on the antihypertensive efficacy of LOS in the hypertension rat model established by N (omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) for 4 weeks. Subsequently, the serum concentration levels of LOS and losartan carboxylic acid (EXP3174) were determined by Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and pharmacokinetic analysis.

The Regulatory Role of Non-coding RNA in Autophagy in Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.

Following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), thrombolysis, coronary artery bypass grafting and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) are the best interventions to restore reperfusion and relieve the ischemic myocardium, however, the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) largely offsets the benefits of revascularization in patients. Studies have demonstrated that autophagy is one of the important mechanisms mediating the occurrence of the MIRI, while non-coding RNAs are the main regulatory factors of autophagy, which plays an important role in the autophagy-related mTOR signaling pathways and the process of autophagosome formation Therefore, non-coding RNAs may be used as novel clinical diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets in the diagnosis and treatment of the MIRI. In this review, we not only describe the effect of non-coding RNA regulation of autophagy on MIRI outcome, but also zero in on the regulation of non-coding RNA on autophagy-related mTOR signaling pathways and mitophagy.

Evaluation of potential herb-drug interactions based on the effect of Suxiao Jiuxin Pill on CYP450 enzymes and transporters.

Ethnopharmacology Relevance: Suxiao jiuxin pill (SJP) is a Chinese medical drug with anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and vasodilatory function. It is widely used in combination with other drugs for the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD) and angina. Nevertheless, the effect of SJP on Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes and transporters' activity related to drug metabolism is rarely studied.
