Dan-Lou tablets (DLT) effectively treat coronary heart disease (CHD). However, its pharmacological mechanism in CHD treatment requires further investigation. This study aimed to elucidate the underlying pharmacological mechanisms of DLT in the treatment of CHD through clinical trials, microarray research, bioinformatics analysis, and molecular mechanism research. In this study, DLT improved coagulation function, endothelial injury, and levels of lipids, metalloproteases, adhesion molecules, inflammatory mediators, and homocysteine. The results of molecular biology research demonstrated that DLT can increase the gene and protein expressions of meningioma expressed antigen 5 (MGEA5) and mouse doubleminute 2 (MDM2) and inhibited the gene and protein expressions of signal transcription and transcription activator 5 B (STAT5B), tropomyosin-1 (TPM1), and aromatic hydrocarbon receptor nuclear transpose (ARNT). The results indicate that DLT reduced the extent of vascular endothelial damage in CHD rats by reducing the expressions of STAT5B, TPM1, and MDM2; inhibiting the inflammatory reaction; and increasing the expressions of ARNT and MGEA5.

Drug repositioning is gaining attention as a method for developing new drugs due to its low cost, short cycle time, and high success rate. One important approach is to explore new uses for already marketed drugs. In this study, we utilized the strategy of drug repositioning, focusing on the Dan-Lou tablet.

Coronary heart disease (CHD), a multifactorial cardiovascular condition, arises from the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries, resulting in compromised blood flow to the heart and complications such as angina, myocardial infarction, or heart failure. Addressing global prevalence, risk factors, and genetics is crucial for effective management. The current study aims to identify molecular biomarkers for CHD by scrutinizing the expression patterns of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), utilizing various bioinformatic tools.

Background: The activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome has recently been revealed as a novel pathological mechanism of coronary heart disease (CHD). The Dan-Lou tablets (DLT) is widely used in the clinical treatment of CHD and prescription characterized by multi-component and multi-target regulation. However, the anti-inflammatory mechanism of DLT in the treatment of CHD remains unclear.
