Abstract:
Moutan Cortex (MC) and Moutan Cortex charcoal (MCC) are two kinds of Chinese medicinal materials widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with opposite drug efficacy. And the contributions of the chemical component to the drug efficacy are still not clear. In our study, a support vector regression (SVR) model with particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been developed for simultaneously characterizing the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MC/MCC. Then the contributions of the chemical component to the drug efficacy of MC/MCC are calculated by the weight analysis of SVR. The experimental results show that the effective substances found by the PSO-SVR model in MC and MCC are consistent with TCM theory. And the PSO-SVR model is a better model for PK-PD compared with the back-propagation neural network (BPNN). In conclusion, the PSO-SVR is a valuable tool that linked PK and PD profiles of MC/MCC with multiple components and identified the contributions of multiple therapeutic materials to the drug efficacy.
