Abstract
- BackgroundAging is marked by the gradual deterioration of cells, tissues, and organs and is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases. Considering the complex mechanisms of aging, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) could offer distinct advantages. However, due to the complexity and variability of metabolites in TCM, the comprehensive screening of metabolites associated with pharmacology remains a significant issue.MethodsA reliable and integrated identification method based on UPLC-Q Exactive-Orbitrap HRMS was established to identify the chemical profiles of Huan Shao Dan (HSD). Then, based on the theory of sequential metabolism, the metabolic sites of HSD in vivo were further investigated. Finally, a deep learning model and a bioactivity assessment assay were applied to screen potential anti-aging metabolites.ResultsThis study identified 366 metabolites in HSD. Based on the results of sequential metabolism, 135 metabolites were then absorbed into plasma. A total of 178 peaks were identified from the sample after incubation with artificial gastric juice. In addition, 102 and 91 peaks were identified from the fecal and urine samples, respectively. Finally, based on the results of the deep learning model and bioactivity assay, ginsenoside Rg1, Rg2, and Rc, pseudoginsenoside F11, and jionoside B1 were selected as potential anti-aging metabolites.ConclusionThis study provides a valuable reference for future research on the material basis of HSD by describing the chemical profiles both in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, the proposed screening approach may serve as a rapid tool for identifying potential anti-aging metabolites in TCM.
