Identification of blood-activating components from Xueshuan Xinmaining Tablet based on the spectrum-effect relationship and network pharmacology analysis.

With the aim of identifying the active components of Xueshuan Xinmaining Tablet (XXT) and discussing the potential mechanism involved, the relationship between HPLC fingerprints and its blood-activating effect were established by multivariate statistical analysis, including gray relational analysis (GRA) and partial least squares regression analysis (PLSR). Network pharmacology was used to predict the potential mechanism based on the identified active components. GRA and PLSR analysis showed close correlation between the HPLC fingerprints and blood-activating activity, and peaks P1, P3, P11, P15, P22, P34, P36, P38 and P39 might be potential anti-blood stasis components of XXT.

Comprehensive metabolomics analysis based on UPLC-Q/TOF-MS and the anti-COPD effect of different parts of Thunb.

The root, stem and leaf of Thunb. (COT) have all been used as Chinese folk medicine. Aiming at revealing the secondary metabolites and screening the anti-COPD effect of COT, the comprehensive phytochemical and bioassay studies were performed.

UPLC-QTOF-MS-guided isolation of anti-COPD ginsenosides from wild ginseng.

Four previously undescribed ginsenosides, along with five known analogues were isolated from wild ginseng by a UPLC-QTOF-MS-guided fractionation procedure. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and spectrometric data (1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS). The isolated compounds could significantly inhibit the cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced inflammatory reaction in A549 cells.

Atrazine exposure improves the proliferation of H22 cells and .

Atrazine (ATZ), a widely used triazine herbicide, has been detected in the surface and ground water even far from where it is applied. Recently, the biotoxicity of atrazine to the immune, reproductive and endocrine systems has been preliminarily observed in laboratory experiments and epidemiological research studies. In order to further comprehend the carcinogenic nature of ATZ, and models were established in this study to explore the effects of ATZ exposure on hepatocellular carcinoma.
