Abstract
BACKGROUND Suanzaoren decoction (SZRD) is a classical traditional Chinese prescription. It is widely used to treat mental disorders, including insomnia, anxiety, and depression, in China and other Asian countries. However, the effective components and mechanisms underlying SZRD remained unclear. PURPOSE We aimed to develop a new strategy to discover the effects and potential mechanisms of SZRD against anxiety and to further reveal the effective components of SZRD in treating anxiety. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS First, the chronic restraint stress (CRS)-induced mouse model of anxiety was orally administered SZRD, and behavioral indicators and biochemical parameters were applied to assess efficacy. A chinmedomics strategy based on UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS technology and network pharmacology were then used to screen and explore potentially effective components and therapeutic mechanisms. Finally, molecular docking was applied to further confirm the effective components of SZRD, and a multivariate network for anxiolytic effects was constructed. RESULTS SZRD exerted anxiolytic effects by increasing the percentage of entries into open arms and the time spent in open arms; improving hippocampal 5-HT, GABA, and NE levels; and increasing serum corticosterone (CORT) and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) levels caused by CRS challenge. Beside, SZRD exerted a sedative effect by decreasing sleep time and prolonging sleep latency with no muscle relaxation effect in CRS mice. A total of 110 components were identified in SZRD, 20 of which were absorbed in the blood. Twenty-one serum biomarkers involved in arachidonic acid, tryptophan, sphingolipid, and linoleic acid metabolism were identified after SZRD intervention. Finally, a multivariate network including prescription-effective components-targets-pathway of SZRD treating anxiety, including 11 effective components, 4 targets and 2 pathway was constructed. CONCLUSION The current study demonstrated that integrating chinmedomics and network pharmacology was a powerful approach to investigating the effective components and therapeutic mechanisms of SZRD and provided a solid basis for the quality marker (Q-marker) of SZRD.

Abstract
Darutoside is a diterpenoids compound with significant anti-inflammatory activity, however the pharmacological action and mechanism are still unclear. Metabolomics strategy was used to uncovering the pharmacological action and effective mechanism of darutoside against acute gouty arthritis rats. Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry technique was performed to explore the serum metabolites and potential pathways. We found that darutoside can up-regulate the level of glutamate, alanine, chenodeoxycholic acid, 1-methyladenosine, aspartic acid, citric acid, and down-regulate the level of valine, isoleucine, glutamine, alanyl-threonine, pyruvic acid, gamma-aminobutyric acid, uric acid. Metabolic pathway analysis showed that the therapeutic effect of darutoside was involved in amino acid metabolism, sugar metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, energy metabolism, purine metabolism and butanoate metabolism. It indicated that darutoside protect against acute gouty arthritis by regulating the expression of the key protein targets. It revealed that the mechanism of darutoside on acute gouty arthritis, which may be leading to the changes of serum metabolites, metabolic pathways and key protein targets to improve immune system response, inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory response. It provides a novel method for molecular mechanisms of natural product in the disease treatment.

Abstract
Baihe Dihuang decoction is a commonly used herbal formula to treat depression and insomnia in traditional Chinese medicine. This study established a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method to investigate the potential active ingredients and the components absorbed in the blood and brain tissue of mice. Using a new data processing method, 94 chemical components were identified, 33 and 9 of which were absorbed in the blood and brain. More interestingly, we analyzed the substance changes during co-decoction and the characteristics of the compounds absorbed in the blood and brain. The results show that 71 newly generated chemical components were discovered from co-decoction: 38 with fragment information and five absorbed in the blood. Ultimately, the results of molecular docking show that these components have excellent performance in proteins of γ-aminobutyric acid, serotonin and melatonin receptors. The docking results of emodin with Monoamine Oxidase A and Melatonin Receptor 1A, and luteolin with Solute Carrier Family 6 Member 4, Glyoxalase I, Monoamine Oxidase B and Melatonin Receptor 1A, may explain the mechanism of action of Baihe Dihuang decoction in treating insomnia and depression. Overall, our research results may provide novel perspectives for further understanding of the effective substances in Baihe Dihuang decoction.

Abstract
The seed of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa (Bunge) Hu ex H. F. Chou (ZSS) is often used as a traditional Chinese medicine for insomnia due to its sedative and hypnotic effects, but the mechanism underlying this effect has not been thoroughly elucidated. In this study, an insomnia model induced by intraperitoneal injection of DL-4-chlorophenylalanine suspension in Sprague-Dawley rats was adopted to investigate the therapeutic effect of ZSS extract. Metabolomics analyses of plasma and urine as well as 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the intestinal flora were performed. The relationships between the plasma and urine metabolites and the intestinal flora in insomnia rats were also analyzed. The results showed that changes in plasma and urine metabolites caused by insomnia were reversed after administration of ZSS, and these changes were mainly related to amino acid metabolism, especially phenylalanine metabolism. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequencing and short-chain fatty acid determination showed that the ZSS extract could reverse the imbalance of intestinal flora caused by insomnia and increase the contents of SCFAs in feces. All of these improvements are mainly related to the regulation of inflammation. Therefore, it is concluded that insomnia, which alters metabolic profiles and the intestinal flora, could be alleviated effectively by ZSS extract.

Abstract
Shidan granule (SDG), a traditional Chinese medicine in-hospital preparation, has been demonstrated to exert good effects on chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) in clinics. However, the underlying mechanism of SDG against CAG is still unclear. This study utilized an untargeted plasma metabolomics approach to explore the potential mechanism of SDG in CAG rats using LC-MS and pattern recognition analysis. The results indicated that SDG could effectively improve the biochemical indexes and pathology features of CAG rats. Nineteen potential biomarkers (variable importance in projection > 1 and P < 0.05) contributing to CAG progress were identified. After SDG intervention, 17 biomarkers were obviously restored to normal levels. Further metabolic pathway analysis showed that aspartate and glutamate metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, and TCA cycle were the most related pathways for SDG treatment. Based on these findings, the main mechanisms of SDG against CAG might be attributed to the regulatory effects of energy balance, inflammatory suppression, and improvement in disturbed amino acid and lipid metabolism. This study provided information for the mechanism research of SDG against CAG and would promote its clinical application.

Abstract
Insomnia is an anabatic epidemiology, while the mechanism is extremely complicated; it remains one of the major scientific challenges in life sciences. Because of the advantage of having a similar genetic background and circadian rhythm as those of humans, the Drosophila melanogaster model organism is hugely popular in sleep-related drug screening studies. Seven-day-old virgin D. melanogaster was used to establish the sleep deprivation model by repeated light stimulation at night. Using PySolo activity monitoring system and Drosophila activity as indices, the effective fractions of Zhi-Zi-Hou-Po decoction (ZZHPD) for insomnia were screened; the content of monoamine neurotransmitters dopamine (DA), 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA), Homovanillic acid (HVA), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the brain of D. melanogaster were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-electro-chemical detection. The herb-compound-target-disease target network were further constructed through network pharmacology to identify the potential targets and pathways of ZZHPD in the intervention of insomnia. Finally, the molecular docking method was used for evaluating the binding characteristics of important compounds from ZZHPD with related targets. The results showed that a certain dose of ZZHPD and its petroleum ether, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol fractions could improve sleep. The dichloromethane fraction from ZZHPD extracts showed the best anti-insomnia effect among all extracts. It can also reduce the content of DA and HVA in the brain of D. melanogaster and increase 5-HT and 5-HIAA levels. The network pharmacology showed that the main active ingredients in ZZHPD included magnolol, honokiol, hesperidin, and so forth. According to the screening conditions, there were 71 targets and the result of KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that 73 pathways were associated with insomnia, which were primarily involved in inflammatory response, central neurotransmitter regulation, and apoptosis to relieve insomnia. The molecular docking results clarified that naringenin and apigenin have an intimate relationship with GABAA receptor, histamine H1, orexin receptor type 2, and interleukin-6. The mechanism of relieving insomnia is the result of the interaction of multi-components, multi-targets, and multi-pathways, which provides a certain theoretical basis for the treatment of insomnia and related diseases as well as clinical research.

Abstract
In order to investigate the protective effects of Rhodiola crenulata extract on Alzheimer's disease, a brain metabolomics study in rats was conducted by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Rat model was constructed by bilateral hippocampal injection of amyloid-β peptide and immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the pharmacological effect of Rhodiola crenulata extract. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to discover potential biomarkers in rat brain and related metabolic pathways analysis was conducted to elucidate the action mechanism of Rhodiola crenulata extract. As a result, a total of 19 metabolites contributing to Alzheimer's disease progress were identified and nine of them were restored to the normal levels after drug administration. Pathway analysis revealed that the protective effects of Rhodiola crenulata extract are related to the regulation of glutathione metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism in rat brain. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that the developed metabolomics method is useful to investigate the protective effects of Rhodiola crenulata extract against Alzheimer's disease. These outcomes may further provide reliable evidence to illuminate the intervention mechanism of other traditional Chinese medicines on Alzheimer's disease.
