【Objective】 To study the mechanism of Apocynum leaves in the treatment of sepsis by network pharmacology method in order to explore the multi-dimensional research method of Xinjiang ethnic medicine treatment of infectious diseases and provide scientific theoretical basis for clinical medication. 【Methods】 TCMSP and literature collection were used to screen the main active components of Apocynum venetum leaf, and target prediction analysis was conducted by SwissTarget Prediction database. We used Genecards database to screen relevant targets for sepsis, used Omicshare to calculate Venn figure of the intersection targets, constructed the protein-protein interaction network diagram in the STRING database, used Ensembl for name conversion of protein targets, then entered Omicshare server for Go function and KEGG pathway enrichment of dynamic analysis. Last we used Cytoscape3.6.0 software to construct "Apocynum venetum leaf-the active ingredients-targets-Go-KEGG-sepsis" network to explore the mechanism of action of Apocynum’s resistance to sepsis. 【Results】 Kaferol, luteolin, proanthocyanidin B
