Abstract
Background: American ginseng has an obvious anti-fatigue effect, but the effective material basis is still unclear. The spectrum-effect relationship is a scientific method that studies the correlations between chemical spectra and pharmacological effect.
Objective: To reveal the real bioactive compounds in American ginseng saponin (AGS) based on a study of the underlying correlations between these compounds' occurrence in rat serum after their intake of AGS and the anti-fatigue effect of AGS.
Methods: We utilized ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with quadrupole and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF-MS) to analyze the extract of AGS and its constituents in serum after oral administration in rats. The anti-fatigue effect of AGS in rats was measured using the time weight-bearing swimming technique, the content of blood urea nitrogen, hepatic glycogen, and blood lactic acid. The relationship between the peak area values in fingerprints from rat serum and pharmacodynamic parameters of AGS was established using correlation analysis with partial least square regression (PLSR) method and gray correlation method.
Results: We detected and identified 22 compounds from extract, and 8 prototype components from serum. Through PLSR and gray correlation method, it was found that the ginsenosides Re, Rb1, and Rb2 were significantly positively related to the pharmacodynamic data.
Conclusions: Based on the spectrum-effect relationship, PLSR and gray correlation method can be used to screen for the anti-fatigue components available in AGS. Such an approach is of practical significance as it provides an effective means for exploring the material basis for the efficacy of American ginseng, particularly as an anti-fatigue agent.
期刊介绍：
Asian Biomedicine: Research, Reviews and News (ISSN 1905-7415 print; 1875-855X online) is published in one volume (of 6 bimonthly issues) a year since 2007. [...]Asian Biomedicine is an international, general medical and biomedical journal that aims to publish original peer-reviewed contributions dealing with various topics in the biomedical and health sciences from basic experimental to clinical aspects. The work and authorship must be strongly affiliated with a country in Asia, or with specific importance and relevance to the Asian region. The Journal will publish reviews, original experimental studies, observational studies, technical and clinical (case) reports, practice guidelines, historical perspectives of Asian biomedicine, clinicopathological conferences, and commentaries
Asian biomedicine is intended for a broad and international audience, primarily those in the health professions including researchers, physician practitioners, basic medical scientists, dentists, educators, administrators, those in the assistive professions, such as nurses, and the many types of allied health professionals in research and health care delivery systems including those in training.
