Abstract

Objective: To observe the effect of Mongolian medicine Geixigune-3 granules on urine metabolomics in constipation rats, and search for related metabolites and metabolic pathways. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: blank group, model group, Geixigune-3 granules group and positive drug(mosapride) group. The constipation model of rats was established by subcutaneous injection of loperamide hydrochloride. The 24 h urine volume, fecal weight, number of fecal particals and moisture content of rats in each group were observed. After the model was successfully established, corresponding drugs were given for treatment. ACQUITY UPLC® BEH Shield RP 18(100 mm×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) column with a 0. 1% formic acid water and acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid as mobile phase were used. Gradient elution was applied and the flow rate was 0.35 mL·min-1. ESI with positive and negative ionspattern was used. Rat urine was analzed to identify differential metabolites and metabolic pathways. Results: Compared with the model group, the 24 h urine volume decreased (P<0.05), the fecal weight increased(P<0.01), the number of particals increased(P<0.05), and the moisture content increased(P<0.01) in the Geixigune-3 granules group. A total of 22 differential metabolites were identified, of which the levels of furosemide, polyporapyranone D, uridine 2',3'-cyclic phosphate increased after administration, and the levels of cysteinyl-lysine, didesmethyl doxepin and N-gluconyl ethanolamine decreased after administration, mainly involving tryptophan metabolism, ubiquinone and other terpenoid-quinone biosynthesis and steroid biosynthesis. Conclusion: Geixigune-3 granules has a regulating effect on urine metabolites of constipation model rats, which lays an effective experimental foundation for further treating constipation with Geixigune-3 granules.
