In our previous study, the daily administration of chotosan (CTS), a Kampo formula consisting ofUncariaand other 10 different crude drugs, ameliorated cognitive deficits in several animal models of dementia including type 2 diabeticdb/dbmice in a similar manner to tacrine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. The present study investigated the metabonomics of CTS indb/dbmice, a type 2 diabetes model, andm/mmice, a non-diabetes control strain, to identify the exogenous and endogenous chemicals susceptible to the administration of CTS using high performance liquid chromatography equipped with an orbitrap hybrid Fourier transform mass spectrometer. The results obtained revealed that the systemic administration of CTS for 20 days led to the distribution ofUncaliaplant-derived alkaloids such as rhynchophylline, hirsuteine, and corynoxeine in the plasma and brains ofdb/dbandm/mmice and induced alterations in four major metabolic pathways;i.e., (1) purine, (2) tryptophan, (3) cysteine and methionine, (4) glycerophospholipids indb/dbmice. Moreover, glycerophosphocholine (GPC) levels in the plasma and brain were significantly higher in CTS-treateddb/dbmice than in vehicle-treated control animals. The results of thein vitroexperiment using organotypic hippocampal slice cultures demonstrated that GPC (10–30 μM), as well as tacrine, protected hippocampal cells from N-methyl-d-aspartate-induced excitotoxicity in a manner that was reversible with the muscarinic receptor antagonist scopolamine, whereas GPC had no effect on the activity of acetylcholinesterasein vitro. Our results demonstrated that some CTS constituents with neuropharmacological activity were distributed in the plasma and brain tissue following the systemic administration of CTS and may subsequently have affected some metabolic pathways including glycerophospholipid metabolism and cognitive function indb/dbmice. Moreover, the present metabonomic analysis suggested that GPC is a putative endogenous chemical that may be involved in the tacrine-like actions of CTS in the present diabetic animal model.
