Abstract:Objective To explore the mechanism of Hirudo-Scolopendra couplet medicines in the treatment of diabetic erectile dysfunction (DED) by using network pharmacology method. Methods The relevant ingredients of Hirudo-Scolopendra couplet medicines were obtained by searching relevant literatures from January 1, 2017 to February 10, 2020 in CNKI. Swiss Target Prediction data platform was used to screen the main effective components and targets of Hirudo-Scolopendra couplet medicines; Cytoscape 3.8 was used to draw the drug-component-target network; OMIM and Drugbank dataBases were used to retrieve the related targets of diabetes mellitus (DM)-erectile dysfunction (ED); Venn diagram was used to obtain the common targets of Hirudo-Scolopendra couplet medicines, DM, and ED; protein-protein interaction network of components-disease common targets were constructed by using STRING platform; gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed by using Metascape database. Results A total of 47 active ingredients and 534 related targets were obtained from Hirudo-Scolopendra couplet medicines, DM and ED related targets were 736 and 743, respectively, and this couplet medicines had 32 targets for regulating DM and ED, and three core common targets were obtained by screening again; GO enrichment analysis showed that there were 14 biological processes and four molecular function. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that there was a total of one core signaling pathway, which was the cancer pathway. Conclusion Hirudo-Scolopendra couplet medicines may treat DED by acting on AR, ESR1 through cholesterol, linolenic acid and other components, so as to restore erectile function.
