Abstract:Objective To investigate the mechanism of Ligustri Lucidi Fructus in the treatment of liver cancer based on network pharmacology. Methods The compounds of Ligustri Lucidi Fructus were screened by traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform, CNKI, Wanfang Medical Oline and PubMed. Target prediction was carried out in SwissTargetPrediction database, and “compound-target” network was constructed by Cytoscape software. The liver cancer targets were collected and intersected in Genecards, online Mendelian inheritance in man database to obtain the effective targets of Ligustri Lucidi Fructus in the treatment of liver cancer. Proteinprotein interaction (PPI) networks of effective targets of Ligustri Lucidi Fructus in the treatment of liver cancer were generated from the String database, and GO analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed in the Metascape database. Results There were ten kinds of effective chemical components and 134 targets of Ligustri Lucidi Fructus, 1033 targets of liver cancer were collected, and 47 targets of Ligustri Lucidi Fructus in the treatment of liver cancer were collected. The results of PPI network diagram showed that AKT1, ESR1 and EGFR were well associated with other proteins. GO analysis in Metascape database obtained 20 items most associated with disease, and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis obtained 14 pathways most associated with disease. Conclusion The mechanism of Ligustri Lucidi Fructus in the treatment of liver cancer is mainly through multi-target, multi-pathway and multi-pathway.
