Advanced technologies are used to clarify the meridian tropism theory of traditional Chinese medicine is an important part of theoretical studies of traditional Chinese medicine. In this article, modern pharmacokinetic method was used to investigate tissue distribution characteristics of psoralen and isopsoralen of Psoraleae Fructus decoction in rats, in order to provide research ideas and experimental basis for the meridian tropism theory. In this study, various tissue samples such as heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain and spermary were collected at different times after oral administration with FP decoction, in order to determine concentration of psoralen and isopsoralen by HPLC. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 2.0 software. The study results showed that HPLC indexes of psoralen and isopsoralen in various tissues of rats met the determination requirements of biological samples. Both components were distributed in all of the tissues, with AUC(0-t) order of liver > lung approximately kidney > heart > brain approximately spleen > spermary. There was significant difference between liver, kidney, lung and other tissues (P < 0.05). MRT(0-t) of both psoralen and isopsoralen were about 10 h. Therefore, psoralen and isopsoralen showed stronger targeting selection in liver, kidney and lung.

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential mechanism of Lu-Jiao Fang (LJF) inhibiting endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in pressure overload-induced cardiac fibrosis. Pharmacokinetic behaviors of the ingredients of LJF were evaluated by LC-MS/MS analysis. Then putative pathways by which LJF regulates EndMT were analyzed by network pharmacology and verified in transverse aortic constriction-induced cardiac fibrosis rats.

Furanocoumarins are a class of chemical compounds with phototoxic properties. For herbivores, efficient detoxification of such defense compounds is the prerequisite to feed successfully on furanocoumarin-containing plants. The cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera is a very important polyphagous pest in agriculture, but how it copes with toxic furanocoumarins in some of its host plants is not well understood.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create HPLC fingerprints for Feiqizhong tablets and measure the levels of fourteen specific components in them.
- The analysis used a Shimadzu Shim-pack GIST-C18 column with a specific mobile phase and temperature, allowing for the separation of various compounds within the tablets.
- The results revealed a total of 105 common peaks across multiple samples, identifying fourteen active ingredients with reliable quantification, which aids in the quality control of these tablets.

Salt-processed Psoraleae Fructus is a commonly used tonic in clinical practice. However, its usage is restricted due to the inherent toxicity. The covalent modification of proteins by reactive metabolites(RMs) plays a role in the hepatotoxicity of salt-processed Psoraleae Fructus.
