Article Abstract
Corydalis Rhizoma is the dried tuber of Corydalis yanhusuo W.T. Wang which is used in traditional Chinese medicine for pain relief and blood activation. Before being used in the clinics, C. yanhusuo is traditionally processed through dry-frying or frying with vinegar, wine or salt. In this study, eleven alkaloids from Corydalis Rhizoma, namely protopine (1), α-allocryptopine (2), tetrahydrocolumbamine (3), coptisine (4), palmatine (5), berberine (6), dehydrocorydaline (7), D,L-tetrahydropalmatine (8), tetrahydroberberine (9), corydaline (10) and tetrahydrocoptisine (11) were simultaneously quantified using a newly developed high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) method. The influence of vinegar and wine processing on the content of the main alkaloids of Corydalis Rhizoma was investigated. For this purpose, two common formulations with clinical application, namely the water decoction of Corydalis Rhizoma and its formula Jin Ling Zi San (combination of Corydalis Rhizoma and Toosendan Fructus) were studied. In the two water decoctions, wine and vinegar processing increased the amount of tertiary alkaloids. The differences were more pronounced for Jin Ling Zi San, in which case the content of all tertiary alkaloids (compounds 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11) was increased by wine processing.

In recent years, there have been frequent adverse reactions/events associated with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), especially liver injury related to traditional non-toxic TCM, which requires adequate attention. Liver injury related to traditional non-toxic TCM is characterized by its sporadic and insidious nature and is influenced by various factors, making its detection and identification challenging. There is an urgent need to develop a strategy and method for early detection and recognition of traditional non-toxic TCM-related liver injury.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a prevalent condition affecting women globally. Corydalis rhizoma (known as Yanhusuo in Chinese, YHS) is commonly used to treat PD. However, the mechanisms by which raw-YHS (YHS-R) and vinegar-processed YHS (YHS-V) exert the therapeutic effects on PD remain unclear.

Coptisine and worenine, isoquinoline alkaloids prevalent in traditional herbal medicines from Papaveraceae (eg, Corydalis Rhizoma) and Ranunculaceae (eg, Coptidis Rhizoma), exhibit significant pharmacologic effects, including cardioprotective and anticancer properties. However, little information is available concerning coptisine- or worenine-induced toxicity, particularly hepatotoxicity, and the underlying mechanisms. Coptisine and worenine contain methylenedioxyphenyl groups, which may be metabolized by cytochrome P450s (P450s) to form reactive metabolites and subsequently induce toxicity.

Objective: Microcirculatory disturbance is pathologically critical to acute pancreatitis (AP), which can be effectively alleviated by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas that activate blood flow. However, there has been no evidence-based research to date. Therefore, a well-designed systematic review and meta-analysis is necessary to elucidate the therapeutic transformative benefit of improving microcirculation during AP.
