Kuntai capsules are effective in controlling primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). However, the precise mechanisms underlying the pharmacological effects of Kuntai capsules remain unclear. This study aimed to screen the active components and underlying mechanisms of Kuntai capsules for POI treatment using network pharmacology protocols and molecular docking technology. Potential active constituents in the chemical composition of Kuntai capsules were obtained from the Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Database. Targets for POI were obtained from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man and Gene Cards database. All target data were integrated to identify the active ingredients of POI treatment. Enrichment analyses were performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery database. The STRING database and Cytoscape software were used for protein-protein interaction network construction and core target identification. Finally, a molecular docking analysis of the active components and core targets was performed. A total of 157 ingredients related to POI were identified. Enrichment analysis showed that these components might participate in the mitogen-activated protein kinase, tumor necrosis factor, phosphoinositide-3-kinase/AKT serine/threonine kinase 1, and forkhead box O signaling pathways. Further protein-protein interaction network analysis revealed that the core targets were Jun proto-oncogene, AKT serine/threonine kinase 1, tumor protein P53, interleukin 6, and the epidermal growth factor receptor. Molecular docking analysis showed that baicalein was the most active ingredient with the highest affinity for the core targets. This study identified baicalein as the core functional component and elucidated the potential pharmacological effects of Kuntai capsule in the treatment of POI.
坤泰胶囊能有效控制卵巢早衰(POI)。然而,坤泰胶囊治疗 POI 的药理作用机制尚不清楚。本研究旨在采用网络药理学方法和分子对接技术筛选坤泰胶囊治疗 POI 的活性成分及作用机制。从中药系统药理学数据库中获取坤泰胶囊化学成分中的潜在活性成分。从在线孟德尔遗传人类和基因卡片数据库中获取 POI 的靶点。整合所有靶标数据以识别治疗 POI 的活性成分。使用数据库进行注释、可视化和综合发现数据库进行富集分析。使用 STRING 数据库和 Cytoscape 软件进行蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用网络构建和核心靶点识别。最后,对活性成分和核心靶点进行分子对接分析。共鉴定出 157 种与 POI 相关的成分。富集分析表明,这些成分可能参与丝裂原活化蛋白激酶、肿瘤坏死因子、磷酸肌醇 3-激酶/AKT 丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶 1 和叉头框 O 信号通路。进一步的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用网络分析显示,核心靶点为原癌基因 Jun、AKT 丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶 1、肿瘤蛋白 P53、白细胞介素 6 和表皮生长因子受体。分子对接分析表明,黄芩素是最活跃的成分,与核心靶点的亲和力最高。本研究鉴定出黄芩素为核心功能成分,阐明了坤泰胶囊治疗 POI 的潜在药理作用。
