ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the potential anti-coronavirus mechanism of Xiaoer Feire Kechuan Particles (XFKP). Methods: TCMIP database was used to search and summarize the information of each medicinal herbs-components-target of XFKP. All the candidate target genes were also searched. "Corona virus" was used as the key word in Genecards database to search for corona virus related targets, and the mapping of the active targets with XFKP were used to select the common targets as the research targets. The selected common targets will be found in the summarized database of each medicinal herbs-components-target. The common targets were imported into the STRING database to construct the network diagram of target interaction, and Cytoscape 3.3.0 software was used for visualization processing to screen out the core targets. With the help of OmicsBean analysis platform and String database, Gene ontology (GO) biological process analysis and KEGG signal pathway enrichment analysis were carried out on the target. Results: A total of 342 chemical components and 737 candidate target genes were obtained. Venny mapped 48 common targets, corresponding to 173 compounds, 19 core targets, and 27 main compounds. GO biological process (BP) entries included 3 420, cell component (CC) entries included 239, and molecular function (MF) entries included 343. Through KEGG enrichment analysis, 160 signal pathways related to the therapeutic effect of XFKP were obtained. The "medicinal herbs-components-target-pathway" network of the key targets of XFKP was established. Conclusion: The 173 compounds can intervene 160 signaling pathways by acting on 48 related targets, such as IL-17 signaling pathway, influenza A, etc., mainly involving anti-inflammation, immune regulation, relieving cough and asthma, antibacterial, antiviral and sedative aspects, providing theoretical basis for the treatment of corona virus-related diseases with XFKP.
