The antithrombotic mechanism of Pueraria lobata and Pueraria lobata var. thomsonii has been further clarified in this study. The study identified the active ingredients of the two plants and confirmed their antithrombotic effects through animal experiments and network pharmacology methods. The results showed that Pueraria lobata and Pueraria lobata var. thomsonii can reduce thrombus weight and platelet accumulation, inhibit coagulation indices, and regulate various physiological processes to achieve antithrombotic effects.
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi and Pueraria lobata var. thomsonii (Benth.) Maesen are nutritious medicine food homology plants that are widely used in the food and health products industry and are excellent natural materials for the development of new health foods, with great potential for domestic and foreign markets. Clinically, P. lobata and P. thomsonii are used to treat coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, cerebral infarction and other cardiovascular diseases, and antithrombotic actions may be their core effect in the treatment of thrombotic diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of the antithrombotic properties of P. lobata and P. thomsonii have not been clarified. Methods: First, P. lobata and P. thomsonii were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). An arteriovenous bypass thrombosis rat model was established. Thrombus dry-wet weight, platelet accumulation rate and the four coagulation indices, including activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT) and fibrinogen (FIB), were detected in plasma to manifest the P. lobata and P. thomsonii antithrombotic function. Network pharmacology and molecular docking methods were used to obtain key targets and verify reliability. David 6.8 was used for GO and KEGG analyses to explore pathways and potential targets for P. lobata and P. thomsonii antithrombotic functions. Prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), thromboxane A2 (TXA2), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The results indicated that P. lobata and P. thomsonii can reduce thrombus dry-wet weight and platelet accumulation in rats and inhibit TT, APTT, FIB, and PT. A comprehensive network pharmacology approach successfully identified 9 active ingredients in P. lobata and P. thomsonii. The main active ingredients include polyphenols, amino acids and flavonoids. A total of 15 antithrombotic function targets were obtained, including 3 key targets (PTGS2, NOS3, MPO). Pathway analysis showed 10 significant related pathways and 29 biological processes. P. lobata and P. thomsonii inhibited platelet aggregation by upregulating PGI2 and downregulating TXA2, inhibited PTGS2 to reduce inflammation, and increased the level of eNOS to promote vasodilation. In addition, P. lobata and P. thomsonii alleviated oxidative stress by increasing SOD levels and significantly decreasing MDA contents. Conclusion: The results of the study further clarify the antithrombotic mechanism of action of P. lobata and P. thomsonii, which provides a scientific basis for the development of new drugs for thrombogenic diseases and lays the foundation for the development of P. lobata and P. thomsonii herbal resources and P. lobata and P. thomsonii health products.
