The Research of the Mechanism of Danggui Shaoyao Powder in Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis based on Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking
Objective:To explore the role and mechanism of Danggui Shaoyao Powder in the treatment of ulcerative colitis(UC).Methods:Firstly,effective components of Danggui Shaoyao Powder were obtained from the TCMSP database,and the predicted drug action targets were obtained.Disease targets of UC were collected from GeneCards,OMIM,and Disgenet databases,and the intersection of targets was analyzed using the Venny 2.1.0 online tool.The protein-protein interaction network was constructed using the STRING online tool.Cytoscape 3.6.0 software was used for protein network visualization and key gene screening.Gene ontology and KEGG pathway analysis were performed using the WebGestalt tool.Molecular docking of key components with key targets was conducted using AutoDock software.Results:There were 63 intersection targets between the action targets of Danggui Shaoyao Powder and UC disease targets.Targets such as IL-6,CASP3,JUN,MAPK8,AKT1,RELA,and MAPK14 ranked high in protein degree and may be key targets for the treatment of ulcerative colitis with Danggui Shaoyao Powder.KEGG analysis reveals enrichment of intersecting genes in pathways such as Th17 cell differentiation,IL-17 signaling,and tumor necrosis factor signaling.Molecular docking results showed that IL-6 had good binding properties with the effective components Paeoniflorgenone,Albiflorin_qt,Paeoniflorin,and Stigmasterol.Conclusion:Danggui Shaoyao Powder's mechanism in UC treatment involves multiple targets and pathways,potentially modulating immune and inflammatory responses.
