Indigowoad Root is traditional Chinese medicine. It belongs to the “cool blood herb” category which has been used for anti-inflammatory and anti-infections situations regarding the Yin-Yang theory. Hydrogel is one of the biomaterials for drug delivery that provided a large surface area and permeability, enhanced the characteristics of solubility and absorption of traditional Chinese medicine, for example, curcumin. Based on the pieces of evidence, these might have some possible methods for the synthesis of Indigowoad Root hydrogel on skincare in the future.

The Future

Systems biology is considered to be the possible technology that could bring breakthroughs in the study of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine). Proteomics, as one of the major components of systems biology, has been used in the mechanistic study of TCM, providing some interesting results. In the present paper, we review the current application of proteomics in the mechanistic study of TCM. Proteomics technologies and strategies that might be used in the future to improve study of TCM are also discussed.

Abstract Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease accompanied by an itchy and scaly rash. Compound traditional Chinese medicine dermatitis ointment (CTCMDO) is a traditional classics aimed at AD composed of a mixture of extracts from five plants known to have anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects. Materials and methods: In this study, we used HPLC and LC/MS to analyze the effective components of CTCMDO in detail and establish its HPLC fingerprint analysis. On this basis, this article studied the anti-inflammatory and antipruritic activities of CTCMDO in the treatment of DNCB-induced AD in mice.Results: Through comparison with literature data, a total of 43 compounds were identified, including phenylpropionic acid compounds; alkaloid compounds; curcumin compounds and lignans. On this basis, a fingerprint with 17 common peaks was established. In AD-like mice, CTCMDO treatment suppressed the scratching behavior induced by DNCB in a dose-dependent manner and inhibited the production of Th1/2 cytokines in serum. CTCMDO treatment reversed the up regulation of P substance levels of itch-related genes in the skin. Furthermore, CTCMDO suppressed the phosphorylation of JNK、ERK and p38 in the skin. Conclusion: In all, our work indicated that CTCMDO can signifificantly attenuate the pathological alterations of Th1/2 cytokines and itch-related mediators, and inhibit the phosphorylation of MAPKs to treat AD.
