Network-Pharmacology-Based Study on Active Phytochemicals and Molecular Mechanism of Cnidii Fructus in Treating Colorectal Cancer.

Aims: Cnidii Fructus (CF) is known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties, as well as its activities against kidney deficiency and impotence. In this study, we aimed to explore the anti-CRC cancer effect and molecular mechanism of CF network pharmacology and antitumor experiments.

Methods: Network pharmacology was used to investigate the anti-CRC mechanism of CF.
