Abstract
The pharmacological effects and therapeutic targets of naringin (NG) against osteoporosis (OP) is still unclear. Liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-Q-TOF/MS) based non-targeted metabonomics has been used to explore the differentiated metabolites and potential biological pathways of NG in the pathological process of OP. Using network pharmacology analysis, the key protein targets of NG against OP were also screened. By the metabonomics analysis, a total of 33 differentiated metabolites in serum were discovered, of which 21 were significantly regulated by NG treatment. These metabolites majorly associated with to amino acid metabolism,polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism, pyruvate metabolism and glycerophospholipidmetabolism. Using the network pharmacology prediction analysis, NG was related to the expression changes of 13 important protein targets. It showed that high-throughput metabonomics strategy integrated with network pharmacology could insight into molecular mechanisms of natural products.
