Article Abstract
In this study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS~E) was used to analyze the plasma components of Danzhi Xiaoyao Formula after oral administration. Forty-nine plasma components were found in the serum of rats by comparing the compound extract, drug-containing serum, and blank serum. Components, such as 6-hydroxycoumarin, poricoic acid F, deoxoglabrolide, 30-norhederagenin, kanzonol R, 3',6'-di-O-galloylpaeoniflorin, 16α-hydroxytrametenolic acid, 16-deoxyporicoic acid B, 3-O-acetyl-16α-hydroxytrametenolic acid, and 16α,25-dihydroxydehydroeburiconic acid, were first found in rat serum. Behavioral tests, including the tail suspension test, novel object recognition test, and novelty-suppressed feeding test, were conducted for behavioral analysis. It was confirmed that this formula had therapeutic effects on perimenopausal depression. Furthermore, in combination with the network pharmacology method, 53 core targets including MAPK1, HRAS, AKT1, EGFR, and ESR1 were screened, and these targets participated in 165 signaling pathways, including PI3K-AKT, AMPK, VEGFA, MAPK, and HIF-1. In summary, the potential effects of Danzhi Xiaoyao Formula in treating perimenopausal depression are associated with mechanisms in accelerating inflammation repair, improving neuroplasticity, affecting neurotransmitters, regulating estrogen levels, and promoting new blood vessel formation.

In this study, the pharmacodynamic components and potential pharmacological functions of Danzhi Xiaoyao Formula in treating nervous system diseases were investigated by hippocampal component characterization and network pharmacology. After rats were administrated with Danzhi Xiaoyao Formula by gavage, high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was employed to explore the components in the hippocampus of rats. Fifty-seven components were identified in the hippocampus of rats by comparing the extract of Danzhi Xiaoyao Formula, herbal components in the hippocampus after administration, and blank samples.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common sequela of stroke, causing tremendous mental burden to patients. Danzhi Xiaoyao San (DZX) is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine formula for the clinical treatment of PSD and has favorable therapeutic effects. However, its mechanism of action in treating PSD is still unclear.

Background: Apoptosis and immune inflammation play important roles in the pathological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their specific pathogenesis is still unclear. Therefore, this article focuses on exploring the effects of Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder (DXP) on the learning and memory ability of AD model rats from the dual mechanisms of apoptosis and immune inflammation.
Methods: The AD model was replicated by injecting Okadaic acid (100 ng) into the bilateral hippocampus of rats.

Objective: To reveal the antidepressant mechanisms of Jiawei DanZhiXiaoYaoSan (,JD) in chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression in mice.
Methods: Using the CUMS mouse model of depression, the antidepressant effects of JD were assessed using the sucrose preference test (SPT), forced swimming test (FST), and tail suspension test (TST). Tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomic analysis of the brain was performed following JD treatment.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Modified Danzhi Xiaoyao San (MDXS) is an effective clinical prescription for depression in China, which was deprived of Danzhi Xiaoyao San in the Ming Dynasty. MDSX has significant implications for the development of new antidepressants, but its pharmacological mechanism has been rarely studied.
Aim Of The Study: To reveal the active components and molecular mechanism of MDXS in treating depression through network pharmacology and experimental verification in vivo and in vitro.
