Abstract
Xueshuantong injection (XST) is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, particularly in the context of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study aimed to explore the therapeutic mechanism of XST on STEMI by conducting a metabolomics analysis of plasma samples from 23 patients with STEMI. The patients were divided into a control group (13 patients) and an experimental group (10 patients), both undergoing emergency coronary intervention (PCI) and standardized drug therapy. The experimental group received XST for 7 days. The results demonstrated that XST can improve ventricular remodeling by modulating 71 different metabolites. Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis revealed significant enrichment in several pathways, including caffeine metabolism, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis, as well as starch and sucrose metabolism. Further analysis suggested that the protective effect of XST on STEMI patients might be attributed to the regulation of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, and lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis. Molecular docking technology confirmed that the main component of XST has high binding activity and stable docking conformation with key targets for treating STEMI. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the therapeutic potential of XST for treating STEMI.
