High-throughput untargeted metabolomics and chemometrics reveals pharmacological action and molecular mechanism of chuanxiong by ultra performance liquid chromatography combined with quadrupole-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: Metabolomics methods can be used to explore the effect mechanisms underlying treatments with traditional medicine. Lung cancer (LC) causes the highest morbidity and mortality among tumors disease, and has become a serious public health problem. Chuanxiong (CX) is a dried rhizome of Ligusticum Chuanxiong Hort., often used in traditional Chinese medicine and has been widely used in the treatment for tumors. However, the pharmacological effect of CX on the metabolism process of LC mice is still unclear. This study used high-throughput untargeted metabolomics aims to discover biomarkers and metabolic pathways of LC as a potential target to provide insight into the pharmacological action and effective mechanism of CX against LC. The precise structural identification of the LC biomarker has been
