多方法结合探讨柑橘属中药材保健品的组方规律及对"气滞证"的作用机制OA

Objective To explore the formulation rules of health products derived from five Citrus Chinese medicinal materials and their mechanisms of action on"qi stagnation pattern"through data mining,network pharmacology,and molecular docking techniques.Methods Formulation information on health products related to Huajuhong(Citri Grandis Exocarpium),Chenpi(Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium),Zhiqiao(Aurantii Fructus),Zhishi(Aurantii Fructus Immaturus),and Xiangyuan(Citri Fructus)was collected.Data mining was employed for analysis.A protein-protein interaction(PPI)network of common targets between the Chinese medicines and the disease was constructed using network pharmacology.Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analyses were performed on the common targets.Molecular docking was then conducted to validate the binding between core targets and the active components of the Chinese medicines.Results The medicinal properties of the ingredients in the formulations were predominantly warm and neutral,with sweet and bitter flavors being the core tastes.The primary health functions were"moistening the intestines for bowel movement"and"promoting digestion."Enrichment analyses of the common targets identified 20 relevant active components,48 common targets,and 5 core targets.GO functional enrichment analysis yielded 449 items,while KEGG pathway enrichment analysis identified 201 related signaling pathways.The five core targets exhibited good binding affinity with their corresponding active components.Conclusion The health product formulations involving citrus Chinese medicinal materials are diverse.Moreover,their effects on"qi stagnation pattern"represent a complex process involving multiple components,multiple targets,and multiple pathways.
