Core Tip |
This study used network pharmacology and molecular docking to explore the treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) using Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma et Radix (PCRR), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Functional enrichment analysis suggested that PCRR alleviated ALI symptoms by modulating multiple pathways, including inflammation, immune modulation, and drug metabolism. We identified 13 bioactive compounds and 60 therapeutically relevant genes. Molecular docking further confirmed the strong association between the active ingredients and core targets. This study provides insights into the mechanisms of TCM at the network pharmacology level for the treatment of ALI. |
