Study on traditional effect of Panax notoginseng based on network pharmacology / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the network regulation mechanism of blood-activating and hemostatic and detumescent and analgesic traditional effects of Panax notoginseng. Methods: Targets of the 12 components of P. notoginseng absorbed in plasma were predicted according to the reverse pharmacophore method. Gene ontology (GO) function enrichment and pathway analysis of the targets were analyzed by Omicsbean online analysis software and String 10 database. Finally, Cytoscape software was used to construct the network pharmacology map. Results: A total of 12 compounds (notoginsenoside R1, ginsenoside Rg1, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rh1, ginsenoside Rg2, ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Rd, ginsenoside F2, ginsenoside Rg3, ginsenoside Rk1, dencichine and quercetin) affected 65 pathways through 65 related targets, which were associated with anti-thrombosis, fibrinolysis, angiogenesis, vasodilation, blood coagulation, anti-inflammation and analgesia. The network of "compound-target-pathway-pharmacological action-efficacy" was also constructed. Conclusion: P. notoginseng interferes with multiple biological processes related to activating blood circulation, hemostasis, detumescence and analgesia by acting on several key proteins such as F2, F10, PLAT, VEGFA, NOS2, IL6, PTGES, OPRD1, etc.
