Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the medication rule of TCM compound patent in the treatment of gout,and analyze the mechanism of action of the core herbs based on the national patent database.[Methods]The Chinese herbal compound patent database for gout treatment was retrieved and entered into the Website of China Patent Announcement of The State Intellectual Property Office.The characteristics of medications were analyzed by frequency statistics,Apriori algorithm,factor analysis and systematic clustering method.The Chinese herbs targets of the core herbs combinations were obtained through Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP),and the gout disease targets were obtained from Human Gene database(GeneCards)and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM)database.The intersection of the two targets was imported into Cytoscape 3.9.1 software,and the Cluego plug-in was used to complete the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis of the herb combinations.The intersection targets were imported into STRING database to obtain protein-protein interaction(PPI)network,and some key targets were selected for molecular docking with corresponding active compounds of Chinese herbs.[Results]A total of 508 Chinese herbal compound patents were included in the treatment of gout,involving 401 Chinese herbs,and the frequency of herbs was 6 082 times.Chinese herbs for diuresis-inducing and dampness-draining were mainly used,followed by herbs for tonifying deficiency,clearing heat,promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.The analysis of association rules obtained 3 binomial association rules and 5 trinomial association rules.Eight common factors were extracted by factor analysis.Three groups of herbs combinations were obtained by systematic clustering analysis,and 56 common biological pathways of herbs combination enrichment were found.Molecular docking results showed that the combination of Quercetin and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)was the best,followed by Baicalein and interleukin-6(IL-6),and the combination of Quercetin and adenosine triphosphate binding cassette super family G member 2(ABCG2)was good.[Conclusion]The national patent prescriptions for gout treatment based on the core pathogenesis of"turbid dampness and blood stasis"are mainly from three aspects of dampness,blood stasis and deficiency.The core herbs combinations are often supplemented or subtracted based on Simiao Powder,Fuling Zexie Decoction and Siwu Decoction.Chinese herbs mainly exert their effects through multiple signaling pathways such as TNF,hypoxia inducible factor-1(HIF-1),Toll-like receptors(TLRs)and IL-17 and promote excretion of uric acid.
