Pingxiao capsule (PXC) is a herbal medicine used for adjuvant therapy in breast cancer. However, the constituents and absorbed components of the formula and their related metabolites have not been elucidated to date. PXC is a typical traditional Chinese medicine formula consisting of Strychnos nux-vomica L., Curcuma wenyujin Y. H., Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb., Toxicodendron vernicifluum, Trogopterus dung, alumen, potassium nitrate (saltpeter) and Citrus aurantium L. In this study, a ultra-high performance liquid chromatog. system equipped with high resolution Q-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS) and comparative Global Natural Product Social mol. networking together with the Compound Discoverer software were used to identify metabolites of PXC in vitro and in vivo. Based on untargeted data-dependent MS2 and data-mining techniques, 89 peaks of alkaloids, flavonoids, organic acid and phenolic compounds were identified in a PXC 70% methanol extract Furthermore, 15 absorbed prototype compounds and their metabolites were rapidly confirmed in rat blood. Glucuronidation, oxidation, methylation and hydroxylation were the main metabolic pathways. We fully clarified the chem. constituents of PXC and provided a scientific and efficient strategy for rapid discovery and identification of prototypes and their metabolites in rat plasma using high-resolution MS aided by Global Natural Product Social and Compound Discoverer software. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 1,8,9-Trihydroxy-3-methoxy-6H-benzofuro[3,2-c]chromen-6-one (cas: 524-12-9Category: benzofurans).
1,8,9-Trihydroxy-3-methoxy-6H-benzofuro[3,2-c]chromen-6-one (cas: 524-12-9) belongs to benzofurans derivatives. Benzofuran is a core structural unit found in many naturally occurring compounds with multidirectional biological activities. Introduction of benzofurans in organic synthesis, particularly drug synthesis, involves generally the use of their metalated species as nucleophiles in addition reactions or in metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions.Category: benzofurans
