Abstract: Objective To explore the mechanism of Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu capsule in the treatment of atherosclerosis(AS) based on network pharmacology. Methods TCMSP, TCMID and other databases were devoted to screen out the active ingredients and targets of Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu capsule. The AS targets were obtained from GeneCard and DisgeNET databases, and the drug and disease intersection targets were selected. The PPI interaction network diagram of target was constructed by String11.0 database, and "drug-active ingredient-disease-target" network diagram, GO function and KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis were drawn by Cytoscape3.9.0 software. Results Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu capsule regulates AGE-rage, HIF-1, Apelin and other signaling pathways by acting on L6, TNF, VEGFA, CCl2, MMP9, NOS3 and other key targets through 58 active components of astragalus saponins, astragalus polysaccharide, kahamferol and quercetin. It ultimately affects inflammatory response, oxidative stress, angiogenesis, apoptosis and other biological processes to treat AS. Conclusion Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu capsule has the characteristics of multi-component, multi-target and multi-path mechanism in the treatment of AS.

摘要: 目的 基于网络药理学方法探讨蛭龙活血通瘀胶囊治疗动脉粥样硬化(AS)的作用机制。方法 采用多个中药及疾病数据库筛选蛭龙活血通瘀胶囊与动脉粥样硬化相关成分及靶点,取交集后,通过STRING 11.0数据库、Cytoscape 3.9.0软件构建PPI互作网络图和“药物-活性成分-疾病-靶点”网络图,并进行GO功能与KEGG信号通路富集分析。最后使用Auto Dock Tools 1.5.6软件进行分子对接。结果 蛭龙活血通瘀胶囊通过多成分作用于L6、TNF、VEGFA、CCL2、MMP9、NOS3等多个核心靶点,调控AGE-RAGE、HIF-1、Apelin等多条信号通路,影响炎症反应、氧化应激、血管生成、细胞凋亡等生物过程治疗AS。结论 蛭龙活血通瘀胶囊治疗AS具有多成分、多靶点、多通路的特点。
