Objective:Based on network pharmacology and molecular docking to explore the mechanism of Wumei Pill in the treatment of non-erosive reflux disease(NERD).Method:We collected the active ingredients and targets of Wumei Pill by Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP),and collected NERD related targets through Genecards,PharmGKB,Drugbank,DisGeNET,OMIM,CTD and TTD databases.Intersection targets of Wumei Pill targets and NERD related targets were the potential targets of Wumei Pill in the treatment of NERD.We imported the intersection targets into the STRING database to obtain the PPI network,and obtained the hub targets.The network diagram of"Drugs-Potential active ingredients-Potential targets"was constructed by Cytoscape 3.7.2 software.We used R software to perform Gene Ontology function enrichment analysis(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis(KEGG)on hub targets,and then performed molecular docking verification.Results:There were 129 active ingredients and 213 drug targets of Wumei Pill of which 114 were the intersection targets.1587 GO enrichment items were identified(P<0.05),including 1,491 biological processes,11 cell components,and 85 molecular functions.143 KEGG pathways(P<0.05),mainly related to Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection,IL-17 signaling pathway,the TNF signaling pathway,MAPK signaling pathway.Results of molecular docking showed that the potential active ingredients in Wumei Pill had relatively stable binding activity to the key targets.Conclusion:Wumei pill for the treatment of non-erosive reflux disease are main active ingredients quercetin,kaempferol,beta sitosterol,Isocorypalmine,Stigmasterol,rutaecarpine,etc,the main targets is JUN,TP53,AKT1,may inhibit excessive inflammation,antioxidant therapy effect into full play.This provided a certain theoretical basis for clinical application.
