Abstract:
The aim of this study was to discover the pharmacological mechanism of Compound Xueshuantong in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy using network pharmacology. TCMSP software was used to search the active ingredients of Compound Xueshuantong, and the targets of its active ingredients were obtained. The targets of diabetic retinopathy were searched by OMIM, TTD, pharmGkb, DiGSeE and GAD database. The same 37 targets were analyzed by GO and KEGG using DAVID software. The results were verified using the SystemsDock. Cytoscape 3.6.1 software was used to establish an ingredient-target-pathway network model. Network pharmacological studies suggest that Compound Xueshuantong treated diabetic retinopathy through the vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathways, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. Compound Xueshuantong alleviated diabetic retinopathy through multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway. This study provides a theoretical basis for further elucidation of the pharmacological mechanism of Compound Xueshuantong in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
