Abstract:
Abstract: Objective To elucidate the potential mechanism of Jindanjiangan Capsule in the treatment of liver fibrosis by network pharmacology and molecular docking. Methods Active ingredients and targets of Jindanjiangan Capsules were searched by Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and HERB databases, and the disease targets were screened by DisGeNET and Therapeutic Target Database (TTD) databases. The targets
of the active ingredients of Jindanjiangan Capsule were matched with the disease targets, and the common targets were imported into the String database platform to construct a protein-protein interaction network (PPI) network. CytoNCA tool of Cytoscape 3.9.1 software was used for topological analysis to screen key targets. Traditional Chinese Medicine-Key Active IngredientsKey Target Network was constructed by Cytoscape 3.9.1 Software. KEGG enrichment analysis of key targets was performed through the DAVID platform. The molecular docking of active ingredients and targets was performed to verify the above results using LeDock software. Results By screening, 180 potential active ingredients and 1 340 targets of Jindanjiangan Capsule and 1 060 targets of liver fibrosis, and 273 common targets were obtained. 29 key targets related to liver fibrosis were screened out by PPI network interaction, and verified by KEGG analysis and molecular docking. Jindanjiangan capsule acts on key targets such as EGFR, MMP9, PTGS2, ESR1, PIK3CA, F2, PPARG, and PTPN11 through active components such as isovitexin, quercetin 7-O- β -D-glucoside, (3S, 6S) -3- (benzyl) -6- (4-hydroxybenzyl) piperazine-2, 5-quinone, 6-Osyringoyl-8-O-acetylshanzhiside methyl ester, tanshinone II, nortanshinone, capillaris chromone, and etanone. The specific mechanism may be related to HIF-1 signaling pathway, C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, relaxin signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway and so on. Conclusion Jindanjiangan capsule can effectively treat hepatic fibrosis through multi-component, multi-target and multi-pathway.
