Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of licochalcone A in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Methods A network pharmacology approach comprising compound target prediction, Alzheimer's disease genes collection, and network analysis has been used to explore the pharmacological mechanism of licochalcone A in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. And the molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation approaches were used to explore its molecular mechanism. Results A total of 128 potential drug targets were obtained according to the screening, 112 of which are related to Alzheimer's disease, such as Butyrylcholinesterase, Cyclooxygenase-2, Retinoblastoma-associated protein and so on. The results of molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation revealed the binding mode of licochalcone A molecule with these proteins. Licochalcone A exerts its effects on Alzheimer's disease mainly by acting on 33 signal pathways, such as MicroRNAs in cancer, Serotonergic synapse, Cell cycle and so on. Conclusion The present investigation showing the pharmacological mechanism of licochalcone A in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease at the molecular level, lay a certain theoretical foundation of licorice chalcone A in the future.
