摘要:
Objective To explore the underlying mechanism of Berchemia lineata in its anti-hepatic fibrosis effects, thereby furnishing a scientific rationale for its potential clinical utilization. Methods To identify the chemical constituents of Berchemia lineata by using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS technology. To screen the active components through Swiss ADME platform, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP databases, predict the component targets and disease targets by using platforms such as Swiss Target Prediction and GeneCards, and construct a “drug–active component–target”. To establish the PPI network by using the STRING database, and screen core targets through Cytoscape 3.7.0 software. GO functional and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were performed using the DAVID database. Molecular docking technology was employed to validate the binding of active components to core targets. Results 100 Active ingredients of Berchemia lineata were identified, 72 active ingredients and 152 drug-disease targets were screened. PPI network screened the core targets of STAT3, TNF, CASP3, Akt1, TP53, ALB, Bcl-2, etc. It mainly involves biological processes such as extracellular matrix decomposition, receptor complex, enzyme binding, cell components and molecular functions, as well as hypoxainduced molecule-1 signaling pathway, apoptotic lipids and atherosclerosis, hepatitis B, cancer pathways, and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that the lower the binding energy between the active ingredient and the core target, the more stable the binding. Conclusion Main active components of Berchemia lineata (such as naringenin, isorhamnetin, etc.) exert anti-hepatic fibrosis effects by regulating core targets (including STAT3, CASP3, etc.) and modulating signaling pathways such as hypoxia-inducible factor-1, hepatitis B, and PI3K/Akt. These findings provide a scientific basis for further research on the anti- hepatic fibrosis mechanisms of Berchemia lineata. © 2025 Tianjin Press of Chinese Herbal Me
