This study systematically identified 88 chemical constituents in XSSJ using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS, among which 22 potential active ingredients were screened based on oral bioavailability (OB) and drug-likeness (DL). In a rat HMG model, XSSJ treatment dose-dependently ameliorated mammary hyperplasia, as evidenced by reduced nipple height and diameter, normalized lobular structure, and volume of mammary acinus via histopathological evaluation. The serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were significantly decreased compared with the HMG rats. Furthermore, compared with the HMG model group, XSSJ significantly inhibited the levels of p-JNK/JNK, p-ERK/ERK, and p-P38/P38, and decreased the expression of NF-κB, COX-2, and iNOS in mammary gland tissue. Molecular docking and 200 ns molecular dynamics simulations were employed to evaluate stable binding conformations and robust interactions between active ingredients and key targets, and the results confirmed that these ingredient-target complexes exhibited excellent binding properties. These integrated findings demonstrated that the mechanism of XSSJ against HMG was related to MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway, which could provide valuable experimental evidence and new perspectives to explore the potential mechanisms of XSSJ in treating HMG.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16685,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis","volume":"266 ","pages":"Article 117074"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144738815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The metabolic processes were predominantly observed among terpenoids, with reaction types encompassing hydroxylation, oxidation, hydrogenation, methylation, glucuronidation, and sulfonation. Analysis of dynamic changes revealed that the majority of the prototype components underwent a considerable reduction in the colon, while the metabolites were markedly enriched in both the small intestine and colon. Differential analysis showed that AMRE3 contained the highest number of terpenoid compounds, AMRE1 exhibited the highest average content of chemical constituents, and AMRE2 had the lowest. These disparities were consistently observed in both prototype components and metabolic behaviors, thereby affirming the robust correlation between metabolite distribution and chemical constituents.

Subsequently, a targeted network pharmacology based on serum pharmacochemistry was employed to predict core targets and key active ingredients. By combining microarray data analysis and gene set enrichment analysis, key targets and immune environment changes were further clarified.

The aim is to systematically evaluate how inclusion complexation with HPβCD affects the solubility and compatibility of drugs in combined formulations, using binding constant analysis to guide the investigation. Two analytical approaches were employed to determine the binding affinities of CHA and 8-SPT: capillary electrophoresis (CE) with UV/Vis absorption detection and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. CE method development utilized two distinct buffers: phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) for protonated CHA and acetate buffer (pH 4.6) for 8-SPT. The detection limits were 2.0 ± 1.0 µg/mL (6 ± 3 µM) at 270 nm for CHA and 2.0 ± 1.0 µg/mL (6 ± 3 µM) at 210 nm for 8-SPT.
