To explore the mechanism of herbs-partition moxibustion with the matching mu points in treating UC rats based on metabonomic with UPLC-Q/TOF MS. Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats of 27 cases were randomly divided into normal group, model group, herbs-partition moxibustion with the matching mu points group. The UC rat model was established by drinking DSS aqueous solution In herbs-partition moxibustion with the matching mu points group, each point moxibustion with 2 moxa cones, once per day, and lasting for 14 days. After moxibustion treatment, all groups urine was analyzed with UPLC-Q/TOF MS. The acquired data were analyzed using principal component anal. (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant anal. (PLS-DA). The potential biomarkers and metabolic pathways were analyzed by Metlin (http://metlin.scripps. edu/), KEGG (http: //www.kegg.jp), HMDB (http: //www.hmdb.ca), MetaboAnalyst 3.0 (http: //www.metaboanalyst.ca). Results: Under both pos. ion model and neg. ion model, the separation trends of 3 groups urine were good. Herbs-partition moxibustion with the matching mu points effectively reduced in 6 different metabolites expression, such as L-cysteine, atraric acid, tocopheronic acid, di-Bu malate, L-tyrosine, L-pipecolic acid, which increased in model group. All 6 different metabolites above were mainly related to amino acid metabolic pathways, such as phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, cysteine and methionine metabolism, tyrosine metabolism, and so on. Conclusion: The mechanism of herbs-partition moxibustion with the matching mu points in treating UC may mainly relate to amino acid metabolism To complete the study, the researchers used Methyl 2,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethylbenzoate (cas: 4707-47-5) .
Methyl 2,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethylbenzoate(4707-47-5) is used in biological study as role of androgens in inducing distinct response of epithelial-mesenchymal transition factors in human prostate cancer cells.Category: esters-buliding-blocks
