Ethnopharmacological relevanceJinhongtang, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula consisting of dry stems ofRheum palmatumL. (Polygonaceae) andSargentodoxa cuneata(Oliv.) Rehder & E.H.Wilson (Lardizabalaceae) and whole plant ofTaraxacum mongolicumHand.-Mazz. (Asteraceae), is widely used for the treatment of infection diseases including severe sepsis and COVID-19.Aim of the studyThe present study aimed to explore the compatibility mechanism in the prescription of Jinhongtang based on the pharmacokinetic interaction.Materials and methodsCLP-induced sepsis mice and LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells were used to explore the anti-inflammatory effect of Jinhongtang and herbs in this clinical prescription. Pharmacokinetics of active components in Jinhongtang (Rhein, Emodin and Aloe emodin) was studied in rats. In vitro analysis of metabolic pathways and interactions mediated by metabolic enzymes were conducted using human liver microsomes (HLMs) and recombinant UGT isoforms.ResultsJinhongtang exhibited much more potent anti-inflammatory effect than its single herbs on CLP-induced sepsis mice and LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Next, the bioavailability of active ingredients (Rhein, Emodin and Aloe emodin) inR. palmatumwas significantly improved through reduced metabolic clearance when co-administered withS. cuneataandT. mongolicumas Jinhongtang during thein vivopharmacokinetic study, which presented the rational herbal compatibility mechanism. In detailed, the components inS. cuneataandT. mongolicumincluding Sargentodoxoside A, Chanitracin Ia, Quercetin and Luteolin inhibited the UGT1A9-mediated glucuronidation of active ingredients inR. palmatum,with Kivalues of 2.72 μM, 1.25 μM, 2.84 μM and 0.83 μM, respectively.ConclusionT. mongolicumandS. cuneata, the adjuvant herbs of Jinhongtang, could reduce the metabolic clearance of key active components ofR. palmatum, prolong their action time and further enhance their anti-inflammatory activity via inhibition of UGTs. Our findings provided deep insight for the rational compatibility of TCMs and useful guidance for the development of TCM formula.
