ABSTRACT
The therapeutic efficacy of Danshen and Jiangxiang in the treatment of ischemic stroke (IS) is relatively significant. Studying the mechanism of action of Danshen and Jiangxiang in the treatment of IS can effectively identify candidate traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) with efficacy. However, it is challenging to analyze the effector substances and explain the mechanism of action of Danshen-Jiangxiang from a systematic perspective using traditional pharmacological approaches. In this study, a systematic study was conducted based on the drug-target-symptom-disease association network using complex network theory. On the basis of the association information about Danshen, Jiangxiang and IS, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and the "drug pair-pharmacodynamic ingredient-target-IS" network were constructed. The different topological features of the networks were analyzed to identify the core pharmacodynamic ingredients including formononetin in Jiangxiang, cryptotanshinone and tanshinone IIA in Danshen as well as core target proteins such as prostaglandin G/H synthase 2, retinoic acid receptor RXR-alpha, sodium channel protein type 5 subunit alpha, prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptor. Further, a method for screening IS candidates based on TCM symptoms was proposed to identify key TCM symptoms and syndromes using the "drug pair-TCM symptom-syndrome-IS" network. The results showed that three TCMs, namely Puhuang, Sanleng and Zelan, might be potential therapeutic candidates for IS, which provided a theoretical reference for the development of drugs for the treatment of IS.
