Abstract:Objective To explore the mechanism of Prunellae Spica in the treatment of Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) on the basis of network pharmacology. Methods The main active components and targets of Prunellae Spica were screened by traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP) database; the related targets of GO were obtained by GeneCards, OMIM and DisGeNET database; the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed by using STRING database. The KEGG signal pathway and Gene Ontology bioaccumulation were analyzed by Metascape platform, and molecular docking verification was carried out by using AutoDock Vina software. Results The main active components of Prunellae Spica in the treatment of GO including quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol, and so on. The core targets may be interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), interleukin-1β; and the core pathways including TNF signal pathway, nuclear factor κB signal pathway and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-protein kinase B signal pathway. The results of molecular docking showed that the interaction of quercetin with VEGFA and IL-6 may play a major role in the treatment of GO by Prunellae Spica. Conclusion Prunellae Spica has an impact on immunity and inflammation through multi-components, multi-targets and multi-pathways, and plays an important role in the treatment of GO.
