Abstract

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations have significant effects on some refractory diseases; however, these compositions are complex and their mechanisms are unknown. Identification of the active components in these preparations is essential. The mortality rate for heart failure (HF) has been increasing in recent years, and myocardial dysfunction (MD) has been proved to be the pathological basis of HF. Yixinshu Capsule (YXSC) is a multi-component oral drug with therapeutic effects on HF. However, the key active components are still unclear. In this study, YXSC intestinal absorption liquid (IAL) was used and 62 compounds were identified by an analytical chemistry approach. Then, a compound – target – function network was established with a bioinformatics analysis tool. Finally, a cell model of MD on human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPS-CMs) was used to verify the therapeutic effects of the active components of YXSC. Schisandrin A (Sch A) and schisandrin B (Sch B) were demonstrated to be the active components of YXSC by attenuating endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced contraction dysfunction, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) content elevation, and the morphological changes of hiPS-CMs. For the first time, our data illustrate the potent protective effects of Sch A and Sch B on ET-1-induced dysfunctional hiPS-CMs and revealed their effective targets and pathways. The integrative approach used in our study was applied to identify active components in TCM preparations and excavate the possible mechanisms.
