Title | An integrative metabolomics and network pharmacology method for exploring the effect and mechanism of Radix Bupleuri and Radix Paeoniae Alba on anti-depression |
Overall design | In this study, metabolomics and network pharmacology methods were used to explore the potential mechanism of antidepressant-like effects of the Radix Bupleuri and Radix Paeoniae Alba drug pair. Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model of depression was established. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 6 groups (n = 10 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, (3) CUMS + Xiaoyao Pill group (stressor plus Xiaoyao Pill treatment at the dose of 1.08 g/kg), (4) CUMS + low dose of Radix Bupleuri and Radix Paeoniae Alba drug pair group (stressor plus Radix Bupleuri and Radix Paeoniae Alba drug pair treatment at the dose of 1.0044 g/kg), (5) CUMS + middle dose of Radix Bupleuri and Radix Paeoniae Alba drug pair group (stressor plus Radix Bupleuri and Radix Paeoniae Alba drug pair treatment at the dose of 2.0088 g/kg), and (6) CUMS + high dose of Radix Bupleuri and Radix Paeoniae Alba drug pair group (stressor plus Radix Bupleuri and Radix Paeoniae Alba drug pair treatment at the dose of 4.0176 g/kg). The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks, and drugs were administered via intragastric once per day during the model building period. Urine samples were used for metabonomic analysis. |
