    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Kai Xin San (KXS), first proposed by Sun Simiao during the Tang Dynasty, has been utilized to treat dementia by tonifying qi and dispersing phlegm.
    Aim of the study: This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which KXS exerts its therapeutic effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD) by targeting ferroptosis, using a combination of network pharmacology, bioinformatics, and experimental validation strategies.
    Materials and methods: The active target sites and the further potential mechanisms of KXS in protecting against AD were investigated through molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and network pharmacology, and combined with the validation of animal experiments.
    Results: Computational and experimental findings provide the first indication that KXS significantly improves learning and memory defects and inhibits neuronal ferroptosis by repairing mitochondria damage and upregulating the protein expression of ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) in vivo APP/PS1 mice AD model. According to bioinformatics analysis, the mechanism by which KXS inhibits ferroptosis may involve SIRT1. KXS notably upregulated the mRNA and protein expression of SIRT1 in both vivo APP/PS1 mice and in vitro APP-overexpressed HT22 cells. Additionally, KXS inhibited ferroptosis induced by APP-overexpression in HT22 cells through activating the SIRT1-FSP1 signal pathway.
    Conclusions: Collectively, our findings suggest that KXS may inhibit neuronal ferroptosis through activating the SIRT1/FSP1 signaling pathway. This study reveals the scientific basis and underlying modern theory of replenishing qi and eliminating phlegm, which involves the inhibition of ferroptosis. Moreover, it highlights the potential application of SIRT1 or FSP1 activators in the treatment of AD and other ferroptosis-related diseases.

    Abstract Objectives: The present study was undertaken to explore the effects and mechanisms of Wei-Tong-Xin (WTX) in inhibiting lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response of macrophages, in turn, to study the influences on GLP-1 secretion of GLUTag cells.
    Methods: We first evaluated the activation of Raw 264.7 cells and measured the intracellular ROS, CD86 and CD206 levels by flow cytometry. The expressions of proteins were detected by western blot and immunofluorescence. GLP-1 levels were detected by ELISA kits. TLR4 siRNA was used to investigate the role of TLR4 in the regulation of macrophage polarization by WTX.
    Key findings: The results showed that WTX inhibited LPS-induced polarization of macrophages toward the M1 phenotype, but promoted the M2 phenotype. Meanwhile, WTX inhibited the TLR4/MyD88 pathway. The polarization of M1 phenotype promoted GLP-1 secretion by GLUTag cells, which was inhibited by WTX. The results of siRNA showed that WTX exhibited anti-inflammatory effects through targeting TLR4.
    Conclusions: Overall, WTX inhibited polarization of macrophages towards M1 phenotype but promoted the amounts of M2 phenotype, further the macrophages regulated by WTX alleviated GLP-1 content secreted by GLUTag cells. The aforementioned results were produced by WTX-mediated TLR4.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Qing-Xin-Jie-Yu Granule (QXJYG) is an integrated traditional Chinese medicine formula used to treat atherosclerotic (AS) cardiovascular diseases. A randomized controlled trial found that QXJYG reduced cardiovascular events and experiments also verified that QXJYG attenuated AS by remodeling the intestinal flora.
    Aim of the study: To determine whether QXJYG would attenuate AS and plaque vulnerability by regulating ferroptosis in high-fat diet-induced atherosclerotic ApoE
    Methods: AS models in ApoE
    Results: QXJYG attenuated AS progression and plaque vulnerability. Characteristic morphological changes of ferroptosis in the QXJYG-treated animals were rare. Total iron was significantly lower in the QXJYG group than in the model group (P < 0.05); QXJYG suppressed the lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels (malondialdehyde), enhanced the antioxidant capacity (superoxide dismutase and glutathione), and reduced inflammatory factors (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α) associated with ferroptosis. Expression of GPX4/xCT in aorta tissues was remarkably increased in the QXJYG group. QXJYG inhibited ferroptosis in J744A.1 macrophages disturbed using RSL3. The Fe
    Conclusion: QXJYG inhibits ferroptosis in vulnerable AS plaques partially via the GPX4/xCT signaling pathway.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: The prescription of Wei-Tong-Xin (WTX) is improved based on the prescription "Wanyingyuan", a famous decoction documented in the book of Huatuozhongzangjing in the Han dynasty. Many years of clinical verification have demonstrated that WTX can be used to treat gastrointestinal diseases, especially gastric ulcer (GU). However, the potential pharmacological mechanism is undefined.
    Aim of the study: This research was conducted to explore the pharmacological mechanisms under the consideration of the therapeutical effect of WTX against GU by combining the network pharmacology strategy and in-vivo verified experiments.
    Materials and methods: A prediction network describing the relationship between WTX and GU was established based on information collected from multiple databases. Then, the intersecting protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the drug-disease overlapping gene targets was constructed, and several key targets related to both WTX and GU were obtained. Besides, the Gene Ontology (GO) biological enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed to investigate the key target genes and pathways of WTX against GU. Then, the candidate targets and signaling pathways of network pharmacology were validated in a rat model of GU induced by indomethacin following the results and available proof.
    Results: There are 243 targets obtained from the 65 active ingredients in WTX, and 1362 disease targets related to GU were identified. Then, 6 key targets were determined with the PPI interaction network, which was structured from 126 overlapping gene targets. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the phosphoinositide-3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway might play a crucial role in the therapeutic mechanism of GU. In vivo verified experiments, WTX significantly reduced the ulcer area and improved the histopathological appearance of gastric tissues. Moreover, down-regulated the protein levels of IL6, TNF-α, and Caspase 3 in the gastric tissues while up-regulating the expression of p-PI3K, p-AKT, p-P53, and VEGFA compared to the model group.
    Conclusion: WTX, an ancient traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound prescription, may affect the inflammatory response and apoptosis process by regulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and related gene targets. Therefore, it is an effective drug candidate for the modern treatment of GU.

    Abstract Xin-Yu-Tie-Pian, an ointment patch which is composed of Tetradium ruticarpum and Asarum sieboldii Miquel, can be used for curing recurrent oral ulcers owing to its good bioactivities. Currently, the lack of a method for its quality evaluation hinders the development and clinical application of Xin-Yu-Tie-Pian. Thus, it is necessary to perform research on quality control. The chromatographic fingerprint, as an identification method, and the simultaneous determination method for two bioactive constituents, evodiamine and rutecarpine, can be used to evaluate the quality of traditional medicine. In this study, a two-step strategy including fingerprint analysis for identification and a simultaneous determination method for two bioactive constituents was performed for Xin-Yu-Tie-Pian quality control. The fingerprint analysis was validated by stability, precision and repeatability tests and a similarity evaluation was performed with 10 selected characteristic fingerprint peaks of 10 batches of Xin-Yu-Tie-Pian patch. Meanwhile, the simultaneous determination method was evaluated by methodological experiments, including linearity, accuracy, repeatability, stability and feasibility. Finally, the results indicate that this two-step strategy, including HPLC fingerprint analysis and simultaneous determination method, can be successfully applied for the assessment of the quality and quantity of Xin-Yu-Tie-Pian.

    Abstract Xin Su Ning (XSN) is a patented multicomponent medicine, which was certified in 2005 by the China State Food and Drug Administration to be produced pharmaceutically and to be used clinically. The XSN capsule was developed from an effective formula composed by Prof. Shuwen Ding of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through more than 30 years of clinical observation, Prof. Ding concluded that XSN has a significant effect on arrhythmia with phlegm-heat heart-disturbed syndrome according to the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis. XSN, derived from a classical TCM formula Huanglian Wen Dan Decoction, is formulated with 11 Chinese herbal medicines to treat cardiac ventricular arrhythmia. Clinical evidence suggests that it is particularly efficacious for the arrhythmias induced by cardiac ischemia and viral myocarditis without obvious adverse reactions being reported. Cellular electrophysiological studies in ventricular myocytes revealed that XSN prolongs the duration and suppresses the amplitude of the action potential (AP), which is supported by the blockage of sodium and potassium channels indicating the characteristics of class I and III antiarrhythmic drugs. A recently reported double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial of XSN enrolled 861 patients (ChiCTR-TRC-14004180) and showed that XSN significantly inhibited premature ventricular contraction (PVC). The cellular electrophysiological discoveries provided the mechanistic evidence for the clinical efficacy on inhibition of PVC by XSN as demonstrated in the clinical trial. These studies, for the first time, provided exclusive evidence that multicomponent TCM antiarrhythmic medicine can be evaluated using conventional research methods that have been used for antiarrhythmic drug discoveries for decades. We aimed to give a comprehensive review on XSN including its origin with the support of TCM theory, its pre-licensing clinical use and development, and its pharmacological and clinical study discoveries. The review will be summarized with the discoveries reported in a novel network pharmacological study that introduced a weight coefficient, which made it possible to evaluate the pharmacological properties of the TCM formula with regard to its formation based on TCM theory. Limitations regarding XSN's basic and clinical research and possible future studies are listed. We hope that the advances in how XSN was studied may offer useful guidance on how other TCM could be studied with respect to the integrity of the TCM formulas.

    Abstract: Xin Su Ning (XSN), a China patented and certified multi-herbal medicine, has been available ...

    Abstract Xin Su Ning (XSN), a China patented and certified multi-herbal medicine, has been available in China since 2005 for treating cardiac ventricular arrhythmia including arrhythmia induced by ischemic heart diseases and viral myocarditis, without adverse reactions being reported. It is vitally important to discover pharmacologically how XSN as a multicomponent medicine exerts its clinical efficacy, and whether the therapeutic effect of XSN can be verified by standard clinical trial studies. In this paper we report our discoveries in a cellular electrophysiological study and in a three-armed, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter trial. Conventional electrophysiological techniques were used to study the cellular antiarrhythmic mechanism of XSN. Data was then modeled with computational simulation of human action potential (AP) of the cardiac ventricular myocytes. The clinical trial was conducted with a total of 861 eligible participants randomly assigned in a ratio of 2:2:1 to receive XSN, mexiletine, or the placebo for 4 weeks. The primary and secondary endpoint was the change of premature ventricular contraction (PVC) counts and PVC-related symptoms, respectively. This trial was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Register Center (ChiCTR-TRC-14004180). We found that XSN prolonged AP duration of the ventricular myocytes in a dose-dependent, reversible manner and blocked potassium channels. Patients in XSN group exhibited significant total effective responses in the reduction of PVCs compared to those in the placebo group (65.85% vs. 27.27%, P < 0.0001). No severe adverse effects attributable to XSN were observed. In conclusion, XSN is an effective multicomponent antiarrhythmic medicine to treat PVC without adverse effect in patients, which is convincingly supported by its class I & III pharmacological antiarrhythmic mechanism of blocking hERG potassium channels and hNaV1.5 sodium channel reported in our earlier publication and prolongs AP duration both in ventricular myocytes and with computational simulation of human AP presented in this report.

    Abstract Objective: This study explored the potential therapeutic effect and possible mechanism of Kai-Xin-San (KXS) on doxorubicin-induced cognitive impairment in 4T1 breast cancer mice.
    Methods: A model of chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI) was established with the injection of doxorubicin (DOX, 5 mg/kg) at a 7-day interval in a 4T1 breast cancer mouse. KXS was given (1 g/kg) daily by gavage over three weeks starting at the first week while giving DOX. The Morris water maze task was performed to measure the CICI-like behaviors. Oxidative stress markers in the hippocampus, inflammatory cytokines in the serum and hippocampus, Nissl staining, immunofluorescence staining, and analysis for Glial fibrillary acidic protein and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 of the hippocampus were examined to explore the effect and mechanism of KXS on DOX-induced CICI. Meanwhile, tumor growth and survival time were tested in this study.
    Results: CICI-like behaviors induced by DOX occurred earlier and were severer than the cognitive impairment induced by the tumor, and the effect of KXS on improving the cognitive impairment was obvious. KXS protected against DOX-induced neuroinflammation by decreasing levels of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-6, interleukin-12p70, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in both serum and brain and interleukin-1
    Conclusions: KXS may attenuate DOX-induced cognitive impairment by regulating inflammatory responses and reducing oxidative stress and neural degeneration. These findings also presented the role of KXS in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival time in breast cancer mice that received chemotherapy.
