Investigation of the mechanism of Prunella vulgaris in treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma based on network pharmacology integrated molecular docking and experimental verification.

Prunella vulgaris shows potential in treating papillary thyroid carcinoma by reducing activity and protein levels of key targets, through the core component kaempferol. A theoretical basis is provided for future research on effective components.

Protective effect of Gastrodia elata Blume in a Caenorhabditis elegans model of Alzheimer's disease based on network pharmacology.

Researchers used network pharmacology to study the potential protective effect of Blume against Alzheimer's disease. They identified key targets of Blume and conducted protein-protein interaction and molecular docking analyses, finding that the components 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl methane and protocatechuic aldehyde were most strongly associated with AD, along with five core targets including GAPDH, EP300, HSP90AB1, KDM6B, and CREBBP. Both components were found to delay paralysis and inhibit aggregation of Aβ plaques in a model, with DM upregulating the expression of KDM6B and both components upregulating HSP90AB1. These results suggest that DM and PA may be potential active components of Blume in the treatment of AD.
