Aβ-induced PC12 cells were used as the injury model to evaluate the effects on PC12 cells after intervention with the "ginseng-polygala" drug pair. The results showed that the drug pair could significantly increase cell activity and reduce the level of reactive oxygen species and the concentration of inflammatory factors to improve the Alzheimer's disease treatment process. Furthermore, to rapidly identify and classify complicated bioactive components of the drug pair, a liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry method combined with a molecular network strategy was established. With this strategy, 40 constituents were preliminarily identified and a database of the compounds was successfully established. Among them, 12 compounds of different categories were accurately identified by comparison with reference substances. The content of the aforementioned active components was simultaneously determined by HPLC to control the quality of compatible medicinal materials, and the verification results of the analytical method met the content determination requirements. The results revealed that after compatibility, the content change of the components is not the simple addition of quantity but the comprehensive effect of the two medicines. In conclusion, this study could provide a generally applicable strategy for pharmacological activity, structural identification, and content determination in traditional Chinese medicine and its compatibility.
以Aβ诱导的PC12细胞作为损伤模型,评估“人参-远志”药对干预后对PC12细胞的影响。结果表明,该药对可显著提高细胞活性,降低活性氧水平和炎症因子浓度,从而改善阿尔茨海默病的治疗进程。此外,为了快速鉴定和分类该药对复杂的生物活性成分,建立了一种四极杆飞行时间质谱法结合分子网络策略的液相色谱法。通过该策略,初步鉴定出40种成分,并成功建立了化合物数据库。其中有12种不同类别的化合物通过与对照品比较得到准确鉴定。采用高效液相色谱法同时测定上述活性成分的含量,以控制配伍药材的质量,分析方法的验证结果符合含量测定要求。结果表明,配伍后成分的含量变化不是简单的量的相加,而是两味药的综合作用。总之,本研究可为中药及其配伍的药理活性、结构鉴定和含量测定提供一种普遍适用的策略。
