Objective: To investigate the changes of endogenous metabolites in urine of nephrotic syndrome rats treated by compatibility of Tripterygii Wilfordii Radix et Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma
and to explore its mechanism by urine metabonomics. Method: Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups
including the blank group
the model group
the Tripterygii Wilfordii Radix et Rhizoma (TPW) group and the compatibility of Tripterygii Wilfordii Radix et Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (TPW-GLY) group.All urine samples were determined by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS.Data was analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Result: The urine metabolite profiles in 4 groups were separated obviously.Twenty-nine biomarkers with significant difference were identified between the blank group and the model group
and 14 biomarkers were recovered by the administration of TPW-GLY
and 11 biomarkers were recovered by the administration of TPW.There were 7 biomarkers between TPW group and TPW-GLY group as N-acetylglutamic acid
dihydroxycoprostanoic acid
nicotinuric acid
triglyceride(16:0/16:0/20:4)
12-ketodeoxycholic acid
ubiquinone Q2
1
3
7-trimethyluric acid. Conclusion: After compatibility with Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma
Tripterygii Wilfordii Radix et Rhizoma may take effect on nephrotic syndrome rats through the regulation of amino acid metabolism
