摘要
Erding granule (EDG) is a traditional Chinese medicine that has recently been identified as having anti-hypouricemic effects. However, the active components and underlying mechanism for this new indication have not been elucidated. Therefore, we compared the effects of different EDG extracts (water, 50% ethanol and 95% ethanol) on serum uric acid concentrations in the hyperuricemia model mouse. We also analyzed the constituents of different extracts by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) to observe the variation between the active and inactive products. Extract activity and target site were evaluated by assessing uric acid- and inflammation-suppressing effects along with evaluating ability to regulate the uric acid transporter. The results showed that the 50% ethanol extract (EDG-50) had an obvious serum uric acid concentration lowering effect compared with water (EDG-S) and the 95% ethanol extract (EDG-95). UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS analysis showed that EDG-50 was compositionally different to EDG-S and EDG-95. EDG-50 showed dose-dependent effects on reducing uric acid, suppressing inflammation and regulating uric acid transporters. Moreover, western blot analysis showed that EDG-50 down-regulated GLUT9 and URAT1 expression, and up-regulated OAT1 expression. Therefore, our findings enable the preliminarily conclusion that EDG-50 lowers serum uric acid concentrations, mainly by down-regulating the expression of GLUT9 and URAT1 proteins and up-regulating the expression of OAT1 proteins. This provides a research basis for clinical use of EDG as an anti-hyperuricemic agent.
