Effective ingredients, potential targets and mechanism in cancers treatment of Bushen Jiedu Sanjie recipe

摘要

Objective: To analyze the active compounds, potential drug targets and corresponding therapy cancer of Bushen Jiedu Sanjie Recipe (BSJDSJR) based on network pharmacology and bioinformatics technology. Methods: The network databases including Cancer HSP, TCMSP, TCMID, TCM-PTD, TCM Database@Taiwan and DrugBank were applied to screen the active compounds, potential drug targets and corresponding cancers of BSJDSJR. Cytoscape3.3 software was used to construct the network between active compounds of Chinese medicine and the corresponding targets. Then, the enrichment of biological processes and KEGG pathways of BSJDSJR were analyzed using DAVID database. Results: According to Oral bioavailability (OB)≥30% and drug like index (DL)≥0.18, 129 active compounds in BSJDSJR were screened out and they targeted to 301 proteins. These targets were closely associated with the occurrence of various cancers, such as bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer. Further investigation showed that, there were lots of active compounds in BSJDSJR are closely connected with the COX-2/β-catenin signaling pathway, STAT3 signaling pathway and MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. Conclusions: Based on the network pharmacology, the study disclosed the active chemical compounds, potential targets and possible action cancers of BSJDSJR.
