Objective To explore the material basis and potential mechanism of Fengliaoxing Fengshi Dieda Yaojiu in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by network pharmacology and experimental verification. Methods Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole/electrostatic field orbital trap high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q Exactive Focus MS/MS) was developed to rapidly analyze and identify the chemical components in the Fengliaoxing Fengshi Dieda Yaojiu. The active components and targets of Fengliaoxing Fengshi Dieda Yaojiu and rheumatoid arthritis disease targets were obtained through network pharmacology-related database and analysis platform. The protein- protein (PPI) interaction map was drawn by STRING database and core targets of Fengliaoxing Fengshi Dieda Yaojiu in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis were analyzed. DAVID database was used to perform GO and KEGG enrichment analysis on the intersection targets. Molecular docking was performed using AutoDockTools 1.5.6 software. A rat model of rheumatoid arthritis induced by bovine typeⅡ collagen emulsion was established. The degree of arthritis was assessed by visual scoring. Histopathology examination to detect joint changes, PCR analysis to detect key protein mRNA expression level, ELISA to detect HIF-1α and IL-6 levels. Results A total of 46 active components were obtained by UHPLC-Q Exactive Focus MS/MS of Fengliaoxing Fengshi Dieda Yaojiu, which corresponded to 661 targets and 2 604 disease targets were screened. After the intersection of two targets, 283 potential targets of Fengliaoxing Fengshi Dieda Yaojiu in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis were obtained. Ten core targets such as Akt1, TP53, and VEGFA were obtained by topological analysis. A total of 10 GO-related items and 15 KEGG pathways, mainly involving MAPK signaling pathway, PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, Rap1 and other signaling pathways were gained by enrichment analysis. The results of molecular docking showed that the core components such as esculetin, 5,7-dihydroxycoumarin, scopolin had good binding ability to core targets such as Akt1 and HIF-1α. The results of animal experiments proved that Fengliaoxing Fengshi Dieda Yaojiu can alleviate joint swelling in the mice with rheumatoid arthritis. The results of ELISA showed that Fengliaoxing Fengshi Dieda Yaojiu lowered the levels of IL-6 and HIF-1α. PCR showed that Fengliaoxing Fengshi Dieda Yaojiu down-regulated the mRNA level of HIF-1α. Conclusion Through network pharmacological analysis, it was preliminatively revealed that Fengliaoxing Fengshi Dieda Yaojiu may improve the disease process of rheumatoid arthritis by acting on Akt1, PI3K, and other targets. Combined with pharmacodynamic experiments, it was found that Fengliaoxing Fengshi Dieda Yaojiu may play a therapeutic role in rheumatoid arthritis by reducing IL-6 and HIF-1α.
