To investigate the relationship between the cardiotonic activity of Fuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, RALP) and its fingerprint determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). First, the fingerprints of six processed products of RALP were established by high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS) followed by analysis of the principal component of the relative peak area of its common peaks. Next, the scores of the first five principal components were used as input for an artificial neural network (ANN). Additionally, the therapeutic effect of RALP was assessed by measuring the hemodynamic indexes of heart failure model rats. Subsequently, fluorescence semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit were used to determine the effects of RALP-processed products on the serum levels of noradrenaline (NA), angiotensin-Ⅰ (Ang-Ⅰ), and the expression of β-norepinephrine receptor mRNA (β-NRm) in the rat cardiac tissues. P < 0.05 was used as the output of the ANN. Finally, a network was constructed to display the relationship between the LC-MS fingerprints and the cardiotonic activity of the RALP-processed products. Several types of RALPs can improve diastolic function, systolic function and heart rate. On the basis of the findings from the principal component analysis (PCA) of 16 common peaks of fingerprints of six RALP-processed products, it was revealed that the first five principal components may include 100% of the information of the original data. As observed from the multilayer perceptron neural network analysis, principal component 4 presented with the strongest effects on serum levels of NA and Ang-Ⅰ in rats, while principal component 1 exerted the greatest effect on β-NRm expression in cardiac tissue. The key findings obtained from this study indicated that the network constructed by the PCA-ANN may predict pharmacodynamic effects of the main ingredients of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This method may serve as a new approach to identify the relationship between LC-MS fingerprints and the pharmacodynamic effects of TCM ingredients.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D011941 Receptors, Adrenergic Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. Adrenergic receptors may also be classified according to the subtypes of G-proteins with which they bind; this scheme does not respect the alpha-beta distinction.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

D000808 Angiotensinogen An alpha-globulin of about 453 amino acids, depending on the species. It is produced by the liver in response to lowered blood pressure and secreted into blood circulation. Angiotensinogen is the inactive precursor of the ANGIOTENSINS produced in the body by successive enzyme cleavages. Cleavage of angiotensinogen by RENIN yields the decapeptide ANGIOTENSIN I. Further cleavage of angiotensin I (by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME) yields the potent vasoconstrictor octapeptide ANGIOTENSIN II; and then, via other enzymes, other angiotensins also involved in the hemodynamic-regulating RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM.
