Mechanism of Xingbei Zhike Granules in the Treatment of Postinfectious Cough Based on Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Technology
OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of Xingbei Zhike granules in the treatment of postinfectious cough(PIC)based on network pharmacology and molecular docking methods.METHODS:Traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform was used to search the active components of Xingbei Zhike granules and predict the potential targets.According to on-line Mendelian Inheritance in Man,GeneCards,Pharm GKB and DrugBank database,PIC related targets were searched,potential targets of active components of Xingbei Zhike granules were intersected and common targets were obtained.Cytoscape 3.8.2 was used to construct the active component-target-PIC disease network map of Xingbei Zhike granules.STRING database was used to construct the protein-protein interaction(PPI)network.Metascape database was used for gene ontology function enrichment analysis and pathway enrichment analysis in Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes,and pathway-target network map was constructed.AutoDockTools l.5.6 and AutoDock 4.2.6 were used for molecular docking.RESULTS:Through the research of Xingbei Zhike granules,a total of 96 active components were obtained,with 272 effective targets,212 PIC targets,and 55 common targets,corresponding t0 82 active components of Xingbei Zhike granules.Quercetin,β-sitosterol and stigasterol were the important active components,and SLC6A4,interleukin6,ADRB2,NR3C1,JUN and PTGS2 were the core targets,and the related signaling pathways were the interaction of neuroactive ligands and receptors,calcium ion signaling pathway and other signaling pathways.Molecular docking results showed that the binding force between the active components and the core targets was relatively stable.CONCLUSIONS:Xingbei Zhike granules has the characteristics of multi-component,multi-target and multi-pathway treatment for PIC.This study lays a foundation for further investigation of its mechanism.
