Consumption of Salvia miltiorrhiza could improve dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis. Whether salvianolic acid B (Sal B) can ameliorate colitis is still unclear. Here, colitis induced by 2.2% DSS was treated with 100 mg/kg Sal B by oral gavage. Sal B improved weight loss, disease activity index, mucosal damage and inflammatory cell infiltration in colitis mice. Sal B could increase the production of acetic acid, propionic acid and valeric acid in colitis mice. The reduction of diversity and richness of gut microbiota in colitis mice was restored after Sal B treatment. Sal B reversed the decrease of S24-7 and the increase of Bacteroides in DSS-treated mice. There were 3 KEGG pathways related to enzyme families, cancer and lipid metabolism enriched in mice colitis after Sal B treatment. In conclusion, the beneficial aspects of dietary Sal B upon colitis are associated with microbial habitat.

We extracted Sal B and TIIA from Salvia miltiorrhiza using enzymatic-assisted ethanol extraction. ACONN predicted optimal process conditions. Enzymolysis and alcohol extraction were used, optimizing conditions and evaluating antioxidant activity. ACONN analyzed data and ACO optimized conditions. Lab verification comprehensively evaluated the conditions. The correlation between Sal B, TIIA, and their antioxidant activities was examined. Weights of 0.5739 and 0.4260 evaluated Sal B and TIIA. ACONN had a 97.46% fitting degree. Optimized extraction conditions improved yield and quality, yielding a comprehensive evaluation value of 27.69 with 4.46% average errors. This approach enhances extraction and compound quality. Antioxidant activity strongly correlated with component yield, influenced by extraction conditions. ACONN-optimized extraction improved Sal B and TIIA yield and quality, with potential as natural antioxidants. Integrating machine learning and optimization algorithms in industrial extraction enhances efficiency and environmental preservation.

Kidney-specific delivery is critically important for the treatment of renal fibrosis with drugs such as salvianolic acid B (Sal B). Here we report a kidney-specific nanocomplex formed by the coordination-driven assembly of catechol-modified low molecular weight chitosan (HCA-Chi), calcium ions and Sal B. The prepared HCA-Chi-Ca-Sal B (HChi-Ca-Sal B) nanocomplex reversed the TGF-β1-induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in HK-2 cells. In vivo imaging demonstrated a kidney-specific biodistribution of the nanocomplex. The anti-fibrosis effect of HChi-Ca-Sal B was tested in a mouse model of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Significant attenuation of the morphological lesions and the levels of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in the tubulointerstitium was observed in mice treated with HChi-Ca-Sal B, suggesting that the nanocomplex was able to prevent fibrosis better than the treatment with free Sal B. It was concluded that the HChi-Ca-Sal B nanocomplex showed a specific renal targeting capacity and could be utilized to enhance Sal B delivery for treating renal fibrosis.
