ObjectiveBased on the network pharmacology system and quantitative spectroscopy of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) compounds, a topological network analysis method with equilibrium constant as the core was established to further explore the interaction between allergenic components and their network targets in Shuanghuanglian injection(SHLI), in order to provide new ideas and experimental basis for identifying and screening potential allergens of SHLI. MethodAfter one week of adaptive feeding, 72 SPF-grade SD male rats were randomly divided into blank group, SHLI standard group, Lonicerae Japonicae Flos(LJF) group, Scutellariae Radix(SR) group, Forsythiae Fructus(FF) group, and 7 groups of SHLI matching groups(groups 1-7), with 6 rats in each group. Rats in each group were administered the drug intravenously and blood samples were taken after steady state, high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) characterization profiles of the testing drugs and plasma components in each group were established, and the peak area changes of the drugs and plasma components in each group were calculated after the component groups were classified. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to determine the changes of immunoglobulin E(IgE), histamine(HIS), tryptase(TPS), total complement(CH50) and terminal complement complex(C5b-9) in animal blood samples. MATLAB R2020b v9.9.0 software was used to calculate the network balance constants of the component groups with the targets, and the eigenvalues of the matrices composed of network equilibrium constants were calculated and ranked according to their values. ResultELISA results showed that, compared with the blank group, groups 1-3 could significantly increase the IgE level, groups 1-2, groups 4-6 and SHLI standard group could significantly increase the HIS level, group 4 could significantly increase the CH50 level, groups 1, 3-4, LJF group and FF group could significantly increase the TPS level, SR group could significantly increase the C5b-9 level, and the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05). According to the retention time of chromatographic peaks, it was classified into 6 component groups from C1 to C6 by HPLC. The order of the network balance constants of each component group was C6>C4>C1>C5>C3>C2, indicating that C6 had the greatest effect on the allergic reaction, and was most likely to be the allergen. The sequence of eigenvalues was C2>C5b-9>C3>C1>CH50>C6>C5>IgE>TPS>C4>HIS, indicating that component group C2 had the greatest contribution to the whole network. ConclusionBased on the correlation analysis of SHLI component group and allergy-like target network, this study clarified that component group C6 may be a potential allergen in SHLI, and the component group C2 may be a key node in the mechanism of drug action, which can provide new strategies and methods for the screening of allergens in TCM injections.

ObjectiveTo establish a theoretical system of pharmacokinetic and spectrokinetic dose-time characterization of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). By analyzing the pharmacokinetic and spectrokinetic behaviors of Lonicerae Flos, Houttuyniae Herba injection, Lonicerae Japonicae Flosand Buyang Huanwutang, this paper compared the similarities and differences of the three methods for characterizing the dose-time relationship, namely half-life, statistical moment and statistics, in order to find the most suitable method for characterizing the relationship. MethodTen mice were randomly selected from 100 Kunming mice as the blank group, and the remaining mice were coated with xylene in the auricle to establish the acute inflammation model of ear swelling. After successful modeling, the mice were gavaged with aqueous extract of Lonicerae Flos(30 g∙kg-1), and the blank group was gavaged with an equal volume of normal saline. The plasma of mice was collected at different time points to determine the content changes of components. At the same time, the pharmacokinetic results of Houttuyniae Herba injection, Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Buyang Huanwutang were included, and the pharmacokinetic and spectrokinetic parameters were calculated. Then the difference in the time of calculating 95% total component content of metabolism by half-life method, statistical moment method and statistical method was compared. ResultOn the basis of the half-life method, the mathematical expressions of statistical moment method and statistical method suitable for the characterization of dose-time relationship of multi-component system of TCM were established. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic parameters of the individual components in Lonicerae Flos varied, with cryptochlorogenic acid and rutin showing a two-compartment model and the other components showing a one-compartment model. After calculation of spectrokinetic similarity, the metabolic patterns among the components contained in Houttuyniae Herba injection, Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, Lonicerae Flos and Buyang Huanwutang were different and varied greatly in vivo. The time to metabolize 95% of the total components of the four research subjects in vivo was calculated by the half-life method, statistical moment method and statistical method, and it was found that the difference between statistical moment method and half-life method was large, and the difference between statistical moment method and statistical method was small. ConclusionStatistical method not only reflects the characteristics of statistical moment method, characterizes the dispersion degree of each component, but also can be associated with fingerprint to form spectrokinetics, characterizing the dose-time relationship of 95% of drug components, which is a more desirable method to characterize the dose-time relationship of the component groups in TCM.
