[Abstract]
Objective To unveil the potential active compounds of Qingyan Dropping Pills (QDP) for the treatment of influenza via an integrated strategy combining molecular networks, molecular docking, and experimental verification. Methods First, cell viability was assessed by MTT assay at various concentrations. The H1N1 influenza A virus PR8 strain was used to infect Vero E6 cells for evaluating the antiviral activity. Then, the potential active compounds and targets of QDP were retrieved from the TCMSP and PubChem databases. Disease-related targets of influenza were obtained from GeneCards, OMIM, DrugBank, and Swiss Target Prediction databases. Protein-gene symbol conversion was conducted using the Uniprot database. A Venn diagram was generated to identify the intersection between active compound targets and disease targets. The “Herb-compound-target-disease” network was constructed by Cytoscape software. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was generated via STRING database, and Gene Ontology (GO) function as well as Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed on key targets using the DAVID database. Potential active compounds were docked with key targets to verify molecular interaction via the BIOVIA Discovery Studio 2020 computational system. Finally, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay were explored to verify the binding affinities between active compounds and targets. Additionally, the expression levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in vitro to verify the anti-inflammatory activity of potential active compounds. Results QDP were against the H1N1 influenza A virus PR8 strain with the inhibitory rate of 49.70% in vitro. A total of 118 potential active compounds and 94 targets were screened. The top 10 core targets, including IL-6, TNF, tumor protein 53 (TP53), prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), IL-1β, caspase-3 (CASP3), Jun proto-oncogene (JUN), myc proto-oncogene (MYC), IL-10, and interleukin-8 (CXCL8), played an important role against anti-influenza virus by regulating the IL-17 signaling pathway and TNF signaling pathway. Isorhamnetin, kaempferol, chebulic acid, and ellagic acid showed good binding affinities with IL-6 and TNF-α, and significantly reduced the levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α). Conclusion Isorhamnetin, kaempferol, chebulic acid, and ellagic acid were verified as the active compounds in QDP to perform anti-influenza activity mainly via regulating immune function, inhibiting inflammatory responses, and modulating cytokines and pathways.
