Abstract
Objective To explore the prescription rules and mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of central precocious puberty(CPP)by using data mining,network pharmacology and molecular docking,so as to provide more evidence for clinical treatment.Methods Using the literature on the treatment of CPP with TCM compounds,which was retrieved from the databases of CNKI,Wanfang,VIP and other databases from the establishment of the database to October 2022 as the data sources.Excel 2021 was used to collect and summarize the commonly used TCM prescriptions for CPP,and conducted frequency analysis and association rules analysis of CPP by Excel 2021,SPSS Modeler 18.0,SPSS Statistics 25.0 and other software,so as to study the composition rule of prescriptions for CPP.On the basis of these results,network pharmacology method was used to screen out the active ingredients and action targets of high-frequency drugs,and then screen out the disease related targets to construct PPI network.Mechanism of drugs was clarified through GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis.Finally,the molecular docking of autodock Vina(Vina)platform was used to verify the results.Results A total of 244 documents met the search criteria,including 133 prescriptions and 188 traditional Chinese medicines.It had been found that 18 high-frequency Chinese medicines were used more than 25 times.The drugs mainly focused on clearing heat and supplementing deficiency.The medicinal flavors were mainly cold and bitter,which belonged to the liver channel.Further correlation analysis yielded 14 high-frequency drug pairs and 4 core prescriptions.The results of network pharmacological analysis showed that 44 active components,200 drug targets,1 287 disease corresponding targets,70 common targets,573 GO enrichment entries and 136 KEGG pathways targets were obtained.It has been found that the main components of the drugs,such as quercetin,kaempferol and β-sitosterol,act on the core targets of ESR1,PGR and play a therapeutic role through endocrine resistance and estrogen signaling pathways.Finally,molecular docking results showed that the main active ingredients of the drug had good binding ability with the corresponding core targets.Conclusions In the treatment of CPP,traditional Chinese medicine is mainly used types of nourish Yin,clear heat and replenish deficiency,which is compatible with the drugs with cold properties,bitter and pliant taste,and the liver and spleen channels.Among them,high-frequency drug pair"ZhiMu-HuangBai"play a therapeutic role in the regulation of endocrine resistance and estrogen signaling pathways through multi-components and multi-targets.关键词
