Abstract

ZXGD Decoction, a traditional Chinese formulation historically used for cardiovascular ailments, was evaluated for its efficacy in coronary heart disease (CHD) through an integrated network pharmacology and randomized controlled trial (RCT) approach. Its selection was rooted in documented therapeutic benefits for blood stasis and endothelial dysfunction, with modern pharmacology identifying active compounds (e.g., luteolin, quercetin) targeting inflammation and oxidative stress pathways. Network analysis revealed ZXGD's multi-target mechanism, prominently modulating the PI3K-AKT and NF-κB pathways, supported by robust molecular docking scores (binding affinity < -7.0 kcal/mol). These findings align with CHD pathophysiology, suggesting ZXGD disrupts critical inflammatory cascades. In a double-blind RCT (n = 180), ZXGD adjunct therapy significantly improved angina frequency (35% reduction vs. control, p < 0.01) and endothelial function (FMD increase: 2.8% ± 0.5 vs. 1.2% ± 0.4, p < 0.05) over 12 weeks, with no severe adverse events. This underscores ZXGD's clinical potential as a safe complementary treatment. Notably, lipid profile enhancements (LDL-C reduction: 18.3% vs. 11.7%) correlated with predicted network targets, including LDLR and HMGCR. Our results bridge traditional use with mechanistic evidence, reinforcing ZXGD's role in CHD management. While prior studies emphasize ZXGD's anti-thrombotic effects, this work uniquely validates its anti-inflammatory and lipid-modulating properties, addressing gaps in understanding its systemic impact. Clinically, these findings advocate for ZXGD's integration into CHD therapeutic protocols, particularly for patients with residual inflammatory risk.

摘要

芪芎冠心汤是一种历史上用于治疗心血管疾病的中药方剂,通过综合网络药理学和随机对照试验(RCT)方法评估其对冠心病(CHD)的疗效。其选择基于对血瘀和内皮功能障碍的治疗益处记录,现代药理学鉴定出针对炎症和氧化应激途径的活性化合物(如木犀草素、槲皮素)。网络分析揭示了芪芎冠心汤的多靶点机制,主要调节PI3K-AKT和NF-κB途径,强大的分子对接分数(结合亲和力<-7.0 kcal/mol)支持了这一机制。这些发现与冠心病病理生理学一致,表明芪芎冠心汤破坏关键的炎症级联反应。在一项双盲RCT(n = 180)中,芪芎冠心汤辅助治疗在12周内显著改善了心绞痛发作频率(与对照组相比降低35%,p < 0.01)和内皮功能(血流介导的舒张功能增加:2.8% ± 0.5 vs. 1.2% ± 0.4,p < 0.05),且无严重不良事件。这突出了芪芎冠心汤作为一种安全辅助治疗的临床潜力。值得注意的是,血脂谱改善(低密度脂蛋白胆固醇降低:18.3% vs. 11.7%)与预测的网络靶点相关,包括低密度脂蛋白受体和3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酰辅酶A还原酶。我们的结果将传统用途与机制证据联系起来,加强了芪芎冠心汤在冠心病管理中的作用。虽然先前的研究强调芪芎冠心汤的抗血栓作用,但这项工作独特地验证了其抗炎和脂质调节特性,填补了对其全身影响理解的空白。临床上,这些发现主张将芪芎冠心汤纳入冠心病治疗方案,特别是对于有残余炎症风险的患者。
