Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic mechanism(s) of Clematis chinensis Osbeck/Notopterygium incisum K.C. Ting ex H.T (CN). A network pharmacology approach integrating prediction of ingredients, target exploration, network construction, module partition and pathway analysis was used. This approach successfully helped to identify 12 active ingredients of CN, interacting with 13 key targets (Akt1, STAT3, TNFsf13, TP53, EPHB2, IL-10, IL-6, TNF, MAPK8, IL-8, RELA, ROS1 and STAT4). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis indicated that CN-regulated pathways were mainly classified into signal transduction and immune system. The present work may help to illustrate the mechanism(s) of action of CN, and it may provide a better understanding of antirheumatic effects. |
