Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the anti-respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) pharmacodynamic material basis of
Scutellaria Baicalensis.
METHODS Network pharmacology method was used to analyze the anti-RSV targets of
Scutellaria baicalensis. UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS was used to characterize the consensus components in
Scutellaria Baicalensis. A mouse model of RSV pneumonia was established, and the changes of mouse body weight, lung index, lung pathological sections and IL-6 were detected. The gray correlation method was used to analyze the spectrum-effect data of 50 batches of
Scutellaria baicalensis samples, and the effective components of
Scutellaria baicalensis against RSV pneumonia mice were mined.
RESULTS The protein-protein interaction network results determined that the core targets of
Scutellaria baicalensis against RSV were AKT1, IL-6, TNF, MAPK3, SRC, HSP90AA1 and PTGS2; overall animal experiment proved that lung index of
Scutellaria baicalensis decreased to varying degrees, and the inflammatory factor IL-6 had significant differences; grey correlation analysis showed that the anti-RSV chemical components in
Scutellaria baicalensis were mainly flavonoid glycosides.
CONCLUSION Using the network pharmacology method to determine the pharmacodynamic target, the gray correlation degree analysis component-target data, the method of mining the pharmacodynamic material basis is feasible, baicalin, wogonin, chrysin-6-
C-arabinose-8-
C-flavonoid glycoside, chrysin-6-
C-arabinose-8-
C-arabinoside and chrysin-7-
O-glucuronide can be used as Q-Markers of
Scutellaria baicalensis for quality evaluation.
