Preliminary study on effective components of Tripterygium wilfordii for liver toxicity based on spectrum-effect correlation analysis
In this paper,the spectrum-effect correlation analysis method was used to explore the main effective components of Tripterygium wilfordii for liver toxicity,and provide reference for promoting the quality control of T.wilfordii.Chinese medicine T.wilfordii was taken as the study object,and LC-Q-TOF-MS was used to characterize the chemical components in T.wilfordii samples from different areas,and their main components were initially identified after referring to the literature.With the normal human hepatocytes (LO2 cell line)as the carrier,acetaminophen as positive medicine,and cell inhibition rate as testing index,the simple correlation analysis and multivariate linear correlation analysis methods were used to screen the main components of T.wilfordii for liver toxicity.As a result,10 kinds of main components were identified,and the spectrum-effect correlation analysis showed that triptolide may be the toxic component,which was consistent with previous results of traditional literature.Meanwhile it was found that tripterine and demethylzeylasteral may greatly contribute to liver toxicity in multivariate linear correlation analysis.T.wilfordii samples of different varieties or different origins showed large difference in quality,and the T.wilfordii from southwest China showed lower liver toxicity,while those from Hunan and Anhui province showed higher liver toxicity.This study will provide data support for further rational use of T.wilfordii and research on its liver toxicity ingredients.
