Objective To explore the anti-inflammation material basis and mechanism of Trollius chinensis Bge. based on UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS, network pharmacology and molecular docking verification. Methods The chemical constituents of Trollius chinensis Bge. were identified according to the information of mass spectrometry combined with the standard, literature and database. Using Swiss ADME platform and literature inquiry to screen the potential active ingredients of Trollius chinensis Bge. Predicted the target of active components of Trollius chinensis Bge.by Swiss Target Prediction database. The relevant targets of inflammation were obtained from OMIM, GeneCards, DrugBank, and DisGeNET databases. After the intersection of drug active ingredient targets and disease targets was obtained using Venn diagram, protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed by using STRING database. GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway analysis were carried out through the Metascape database. The network of "active ingredients-inflammation targets-enrichment pathways" was constructed with the Cytoscape software. Molecular docking technology was used for preliminary verification. Results A total of 38 compounds were identified from Trollius chinensis Bge. including 23 flavonoids, 10 organic acids, 1 coumarin, 2 monosaccharides and 2 styrenes. Network pharmacological research showed that Trollius chinensis Bge. may acted on TNF, Akt1, VEGFA, PTGS2, EGFR, SRC and other core targets through salvigenin, cirsimaritin, diosmetin, ferulic acid, quercetin, apigenin and other active compounds, regulating pathways in cancer, lipid and atherosclerosis, PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway and other pathways, thus exert anti-inflammation effects. The results of molecular docking verification showed that the anti-inflammation components of Trollius chinensis Bge. had strong binding activity with disease target proteins. Conclusion Preliminatively revealing the anti-inflammation effects of Trollius chinensis Bge. through the combination of multi-components, multi-targets and multi-pathways, providing a scientific and reasonable theoretical basis for subsequent clinical application.
