Abstract:Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of spatholive-mulberry parasitism in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) based on network pharmacology and molecular docking. Methods The active ingredients and targets were obtained from traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology, traditional Chinese medicines integrated database, China national knowledge infrastructure and Wanfang collection from February 2017 to December 2020. DPN targets were searched through GeneCards, TTD, OMIM, and DRUGBANK databases; proteinprotein interaction analysis was performed on STRING platform, GO and KEGG signaling pathway analysis was performed on Metascape platform, and molecular docking was performed on Autodockvina combined with Pymol. Results A total of 23 active ingredients were obtained from spatholive-mullberry and two active components were obtained from parasitism, including quercetin, luteolin and formononetin, etc. A total of 64 core targets including EGFR, ESR1, and PARP1 were obtained, and these targets were mainly enriched in MAPK, JAK-STAT, PI3K-Akt and other pathways. Molecular docking verification showed that the active components had good docking activity with their targets. Conclusion Spatholive-mulberry parasitism plays a therapeutic role in DPN by improving glycolipid metabolism, protecting neurons and regulating cell apoptosis.
