To objectively evaluate the efficacy of the Zilongjin tablets in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to explore its potential mechanism of action against NSCLC and COVID-19 based on network pharmacology.
The database was searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the Zilongjin tablets for NSCLC published up to 22 August 2022. The quality of included trials was assessed using Cochrane standard guidelines, and a meta-analysis was performed using Rev Man 5.3. Gene targets for intersections of NSCLC and COVID-19 (the NC) and drugs were obtained from the TCMSP database, HERB database, GeneCards database, and the NCBI database for network pharmacology research.
Meta-analysis included 14 articles with 2,430 patients. The meta-analysis showed that the Zilongjin tablets combined with conventional chemotherapy were significantly more effective than chemotherapy alone in the treatment of NSCLC. A total of 29 drug-disease intersecting targets were identified in the network pharmacology. The "ingredient-target-pathway" diagram component-target-pathway network contained 119 nodes and 429 edges, with the majority of targets associated with inflammatory responses.
The efficacy and quality of life of the Zilongjin tablets combined conventional chemotherapy for NSCLC were significantly better than chemotherapy alone, alleviating various adverse effects. At the same time, the Zilongjin tablets may modulate the inflammatory response to alleviate NSCLC and COVID-19.
客观评价紫龙金片治疗非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的疗效,并基于网络药理学探讨其抗NSCLC及新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)的潜在作用机制。
检索截至2022年8月22日已发表的关于紫龙金片治疗NSCLC的随机对照试验(RCT)。采用Cochrane标准指南评估纳入试验的质量,并使用Rev Man 5.3进行荟萃分析。从中药系统药理学数据库(TCMSP数据库)、中药综合数据库(HERB数据库)、基因卡片数据库(GeneCards数据库)和美国国立生物技术信息中心数据库(NCBI数据库)获取NSCLC与COVID-19交集(NC)的基因靶点及药物,用于网络药理学研究。
荟萃分析纳入14篇文章,共2430例患者。荟萃分析表明,紫龙金片联合传统化疗治疗NSCLC的疗效显著优于单纯化疗。网络药理学共鉴定出29个药物-疾病交集靶点。“成分-靶点-通路”图组件-靶点-通路网络包含119个节点和429条边,大多数靶点与炎症反应相关。
紫龙金片联合传统化疗治疗NSCLC的疗效及生活质量显著优于单纯化疗,可减轻各种不良反应。同时,紫龙金片可能通过调节炎症反应来缓解NSCLC及COVID-19。
