  1. Predicting Receptor targets of Traditional Chinese Medicines and Small Molecule TCM Database J. Jia and Y.Z. ChenDepartment of PharmacyNational University of SingaporeTel: 65-6616-6877; Email: phacyz@nus.edu.sg ; Web: http://bidd.nus.edu.sg • Content • TCM mechanism, targets, roles of bioinformatics and modeling • TCM and target databases • Target prediction by INVDOCK • Bioinformatics study of mechanism of interior warming herbs

  2. Therapeutics from Traditional Medicines • Potentially novel therapeutic approaches • Existing markets in certain countries and potential market in others • Need for standardization, validation, & further development • Markers for standardization • Molecular mechanism • Safety and efficacy tests • New recipes, combination drug mimics Pharmacology & Therapeutics 2000, 86:191-198

  3. Why receptor targets?Therapeutics from Traditional Medicines • Multiple herb therapies • Collective synergistic actions, maintenance and balance. • Mutual accentuation mutual enhancement mutual counteraction mutual suppression mutual antagonism mutual incompatibility • Multiple targets: • therapeutic effects • symptom treatment • toxicity modulation • Immune regulation • drug delivery • energy metabolism • harmonization Pharmacology & Therapeutics 2000, 86:191-198

  5. Medicinal Herb Databases at BIDD • TCM-ID: Traditional Chinese Medicine -Information Database  • Only database providing integrated and comprehensive info about: • TCM formula, constituent herbs, herbal ingredients, effect on proteins • Molecular structure • Function at the formula, herb and compound levels Function Structure Protein • Comparison with • existing TCM • databases: • Formula: • TCM-ID: 1000 • TCHFL: 270 • Herb: • TCM-ID: 1200 • TCSHL: 520 • TCMD: 1500 • Compound: • TCM-ID: 9000 • CNPD: 3000 • TCMD: 6800 Protein Compound Function Protein Herb Function Structure Protein Function Compound Protein Function Structure Protein TCM Formula Function Protein Compound Protein Herb TCHF Library Structure Function Protein Protein Compound TCSH Library TCMD CNPD

  11. Pharmacological Effects Possibly Linked to Interior Warming

  12. Vasodilation and its Relation to Interior Warming • Why vasodiation produces warming effect or sensation? • Blushing • A result of vasodilation • Warm feeling • Cold extremeties due to loss of beta-adrenoceptor mediated vasodilation • Increased lumen size of blood vessels • More blood brought to vasodilated area •  Warm sensation • Common mode of action (except Hua Jiao) • Inhibit Ca2+ influx • Other Modes of actions • Increase NO • Increase cGMP • Activate TRPV1 • Alpha-adrenoceptor blockade 1Rang HP, Dale MM, Ritter JM, P.K. M. Pharmacology. 5th ed. Edinburgh ; New York: Churchill Livingstone, 2003

  13. Pharmacological Effects Possibly Linked to Interior Warming

  14. TRPV1 Agonism and its Relation to Interior Warming • Transient receptor potential ion channel of vanilloid type 1 • Highly expressed in a subset of primary sensory neurons of the trigeminal, vagal and dorsal root ganglia • Non-neuronal cells1 • Activation leads to many effects • Burning sensation • Vasodilation • via release of Calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) • Inhibit gastric leisions • Thermogenesis • Piperine, 6-gingerol, 10-gingerol, 6-shogaol Associated with vasoconstriction 1Geppetti P, Materazzi S, Nicoletti P. Eur J Pharmacol 2006;533(1-3):207-14.

  15. TRPV1 Agonism and its Relation to Interior Warming Effect Herb • Dual actions leading to the same warming effect or sensation? • TRPV1 causes both vasodilation and vasoconstriction under different conditions1 • Directly induce vascular smooth muscle contraction, linked to thermogenesis that is abolished by vasodilators • But release neuropeptides e.g. CGRP that causes vasodilation 6-shogaol 6-gingerol 6-shogaol 6-gingerol • TRPV1 agonists reported to result in hypothermia due to response to thermogenesis and activation of warm sensors1, • False sense of warmth • Not truly ‘therapeutic’ 1Eldershaw T, Colquhoun E, Bennett K et al. Life Sci 1994;55(5):389-97.
