Objective: Radix Bupleuri and Radix Scutellare in compatibility on liver injury induced by alcohol and hepatocellular carcinoma have been verified by experiments. Method: In this study
four active chemical components of Radix Bupleuri and Radix Scutellare were docked with cycloxygenase(COX-2)
respectively. The binding mode and docking energy of those components with COX-2 were analyzed. Result and Conclusion: It has been found that saikosaponin A and saikosaponin D in Radix Bupleuri have no binding capability with COX-2 and baicalin and baicalein in Radix Scutellare have strong binding capability with COX-2.
