Gualou-Xiebai-Banxia decoction (GXBD) was a classical traditional Chinese medicine formula for the treatment of coronary heart disease. However, the current study on the chem. and metabolite profiles of GXBD did not follow the ancient prescription and extraction method, which hindered the discovery of effective compounds and quality control. In this study, we prepared GXBD by ancient prescription and extraction methods, and then analyzed the chem. components and xenobiotics of GXBD in vivo using high-performance liquid chromatog. coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and inhouse software.49 chem. constituents were preliminarily identified, including 7 terpenoids, 6 flavonoids, 5 alkaloids, 17 organic acids, 8 steroids and steroidal saponins, 2 nucleosides and 4 other types of compounds, of which 10 constituents were confirmed unambiguously with authentic standards Moreover, 129 metabolites were tentatively identified, including 83 metabolites in plasma, 39 metabolites in urine, 25 metabolites in bile and 9 metabolites in feces. Our study speculated that luteolin, adenosine, vanillic acid and curbitacin B might be possible effective components of GXBD for the treatment of coronary heart disease. Dehydration, deglycosylation, dehydrogenation, acetylation and taurine regulation were the main biotransformation reactions of GXBD. Our results provided an important basis for the discovery of effective compounds and quality control of GXBD. In addition, inhouse software was an useful tool for identifcation of metabolites. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 6-Allyl-4-methoxybenzo[d][1,3]dioxole (cas: 607-91-0Category: dioxole).
6-Allyl-4-methoxybenzo[d][1,3]dioxole (cas: 607-91-0) belongs to dioxole derivatives. Dioxoles, particularly fluorinated dioxoles, are used as co-monomers to make polymers that find use in forming protective coatings for chemical resistance. 1,3-Benzodioxole can be synthesized from catechol with disubstituted halomethanes.Category: dioxole
