Purpose: The possible mechanism of Xiyanping injection treatment COVID-19 is discussed through the network pharmacology.

Methods: Obtaining the chemical structure of Xiyanping injection through the patent application and obtaining control compounds I, II, III, IV, V, Yanhuning injection (VI, VII), Chuanhuning injection (VIII, IX), 10 compounds were analyzed by D3Targets-2019-nCoV. The human anti-COVID-19 gene in COVID-19 DisGeNET was intersected with the CTD Andrographolide target gene and then combined with D3Targets-2019-nCoV, resulting in 93 genes, using the Venny 2.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is becoming a more prevalent public health issue in today's culture. The experimental study of Coptidis Rhizoma (CR) and its chemical components in AD treatment has been widely reported, but the principle of multi-level and multi-mechanism treatment of AD urgently needs to be clarified.

Objective: This study focuses on network pharmacology to clarify the mechanism of CR's multi-target impact on Alzheimer's disease.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers identified 45 active components in SQW and 72 potential COVID-19-related targets, highlighting key proteins such as ACE2 and IL-6, and found significant enrichment in 1715 gene ontology (GO) projects and 136 KEGG pathways related to inflammation and cellular response.
  • * Molecular docking studies indicated strong binding capabilities of several active compounds like kaempferol and quercetin with important COVID-19 targets, suggesting SQW could be effective in managing the disease.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explores how the combination of Platycodonis Radix and Lilii Bulbus might help treat pneumonia using network pharmacology and lab experiments.
  • Researchers identified 12 active components from the two plants that target pneumonia-related pathways, focusing on inflammation and cell growth.
  • The findings suggest these components effectively bind to key targets, and lab tests confirm they can reduce the expression of important inflammatory markers like MMP9 and TNF-α.
