Lingze tablets has been used as a drug in the treatment of kidney deficiency‐dampnes shea‐stasis type benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and it was found effective for BPH treatment. We aimed to investigate the mechanism of the Lingze tablets in the treatment of BPH through the network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. The active compounds of Lingze tablets were retrieved from the TCMSP, BATMAN‐TCM and ETCM databases. The ADME of active compounds was screened for Swiss target prediction, and the targets of the active compounds were predicted. DisGeNET, Genecards and OMIM were used to obtain the disease targets of BPH, and the targets of Lingze tablets in the treatment of BPH were obtained by venny2.1. String platform and cytoscape softwares were used to construct the PPI network. Go enrichment analysis and KEGG signal pathway analysis were analysed by mediascape. The ‘component‐target‐pathway’ networks diagram was constructed by the cytoscape software. Molecular docking was carried out by autodock software. Lingze tablets could serve as a drug for BPH treatment by regulating SRC, MAPK1, PIK3CA, JAK2 and other disease targets, intervening in biological processes such as cell migration, cell activity, cytokine secretion, protein phosphorylation, MAPK, transferase activity and PI3K/AKT signalling pathways.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
