Objective To explore the active ingredients and potential targets of Chitong Xiaoyanling Granules in treatment of periodontitis based on network pharmacology and molecular docking technology, and to explore its possible mechanism of action. Methods Potential active ingredients and targets in Chitong Xiaoyanling Granules were screened by TCMSP database, ETCM database and literature reports. The "traditional Chinese medicine-active components-targets" network was constructed by the software of Cytoscape 3.9.1. GeneCards, TTD, OMIM, DisGeNET, and DrugBank databases were used to obtain periodontitis targets. The "compound-target-disease" interaction network was constructed by the software of Cytoscape 3.9.1. The PPI network was constructed by STRING data platform and the topological analysis was performed by Cytoscape 3.9.1. Metascape website was used to enrich and analyze the gene oncology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways of the selected targets. Top five key targets and active components weere selected as receptor proteins and ligand small molecules, AutoDockTools1.5.6 was used to dock ligands and receptors, and Pymol was used to visualize the molecular docking results. Result A total of 264 potential active ingredients of Chitong Xiaoyanling Granules were screened, and 157 targets of Chitong Xiaoyanling Granules were obtained for treating periodontitis. Topological analysis showed that the main active components were quercetin, kaempferol, β-sitosterol, naringenin, luteolin and so on. TNF, IL-6, IL1β, Akt1, TP53, VEGFA, CASP3, MAPK3, EGFR, HIF-1A, PTGS2 were the key targets in PPI network. 2 137 Items were screened by GO enrichment analysis, including 1 884 biological processes, 93 cellular components, and 160 molecular functions. KEGG was enriched to 206 gene pathways. Molecular docking showed that the core constituents were well bound to the core targets. Conclusion This study for the first time predicted the "multi-component, multi-target, multi-pathway" mechanism of Chitong Xiaoyanling Granules in treatment of periodontitis, which provided a theoretical basis for the material basic research of Chitong Xiaoyanling Granules efficacy.
