Objectives To evaluate the potential hepatotoxicity of dianthrones in Polygonum multiflorum based on the target of bilirubin metabolizing enzyme UDP-glucuronyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1). Methods The Discovery Studio 2.5 software From Receptor Cavities module to automatic identification of UGT1A1 enzyme protein cavity, Trans-emodin-emodin dianthrone (trans-EMD) and Cis-emodin-emodin dianthrone (cis-EMD) were docked with UGT1A1 enzyme protein to determine the action mode and the closeness of the monomer to be tested and the enzyme protein. To evaluate the effects of trans-EMD and cis-EMD (0.037, 0.110, 0.330, 0.990, 2.970 μg·mL^-1) on UGT1A1 enzyme and initiate phase Ⅰ and phase Ⅱ metabolism in the incubation system of rat liver microsomes with substrate bilirubin reference solution. The apparent inhibition constant (K_i) was used as the evaluation index. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the toxicity of trans-EMD and cis-EMD (0.04, 0.10, 0.30, 1.00, 3.00 μg·mL^-1) for 24 h on HepaRG cells. The effects of trans-EMD and cis-EMD (0.04, 0.30, 3.00 μg·mL^-1) on UGT1A1 mRNA levels in HepaRG cells for 24 h were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Results Molecular docking experiments showed that trans-EMD and cis-EMD could bind UGT1A1 to Site F. Different hydrogen bond configurations at 10 or 10' positions of the two compounds could cause changes in the spatial configuration of the compounds and affect their binding strength to UGT1A1. In vitro enzyme inhibition experiments showed that both trans-EMD and cis-EMD exhibited competitive inhibitory effects on UGT1A1 enzyme, with strong inhibitory effects. The cytotoxicity test showed that trans-EMD (IC₅₀=1.333 μg·mL^-1) and cis-EMD (IC₅₀=1.715 μg·mL^-1) showed obvious HepaRG cytotoxicity, and the IC₅₀ value was smaller. Compared with control group, trans-EMD and cis-EMD 0.30 and 3.00 μg·mL^-1 could significantly down-regulate UGT1A1 mRNA expression level (P < 0.05), and the effect was concentration dependent. Conclusion Dianthrone compounds with emodin (10→10') emodin or emodin (10→10') emodin nucleus structure are a class of compounds with potential hepatotoxicity, and their targets are bilirubin metabolizing enzymes UGT1A enzyme.
