Mechanism of Shenfutang Based on Network Pharmacology
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of Shenfutang. Method: The chemical components and corresponding targets related to Shenfutang were searched from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP). The compound-target network and the protein-protein interaction(PPI) network were established
and the GO functional enrichment analysis and the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were made to explore the mechanism of Shenfutang. Result: The compound-target network contained 23 chemical components and 118 targets. The hub targets involved PTGS2
PTGS1
NCOA2
ADRB2.The PPI network contained 114 proteins
in which the hub proteins involved AKT
AP-1
p56.The GO functional enrichment analysis showed 236 GO entries (including 191 for biological process
20 for molecular function
25 for cellar component). The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed 10 pathways
involving calcium signaling pathway
neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction
apoptosis
and pathways in cancer. Conclusion: The result of the study preliminarily verifies the basic pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of Shenfutang
thus laying a solid foundation for further study on the mechanism of action.
