Objective To systematically predict the potential pharmacodynamic material basis, core action targets, and molecular mechanism of Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex in treatment of nonbacterial prostatitis based on network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques. Methods Active components and action targets of Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex were screened using databases including TCMSP, PubChem, and SwissTargetPrediction. Disease-related targets of nonbacterial prostatitis were obtained from GeneCards and OMIM. After the overlapping targets were obtained, PPI network was constructed via the STRING platform. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses of the overlapping targets were performed using the DAVID database. A “drug-component-target-pathway-disease” network was constructed with Cytoscape software to screen out core targets and key pathways. Finally, molecular docking validation between the screened core active components and key targets was carried out using AutoDock Vina and PyMol software.Results A total of 24 potential active components of Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex were screened, and 45 overlapping targets of Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex in treatment of nonbacterial prostatitis were screened. PPI network analysis indicated that TNF, Akt1, EGFR, STAT, and MAPK1 were the core targets. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that the mechanism of Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex in intervening nonbacterial prostatitis mainly involved in biological processes such as positive regulation of PI3K, negative regulation of apoptotic process, and response to lipopolysaccharide, and mediated key pathways including the HIF-1 signaling pathway, the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, and the prostate cancer pathway. Molecular docking results validated that the binding energies of components such as baicalein, quercetin, and dihydrophelloside_qt to core targets including Akt1, EGFR, and TNF were all less than -6.0 kcal/mol, indicating good binding activity. Conclusion Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex primarily acts on key target proteins such as TNF, Akt1, EGFR, and STAT3 through active components including dihydrophelloside_qt, baicalein, and quercetin. It multidimensionally regulates signaling pathways such as HIF-1 and AGE-RAGE, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and apoptosis-inhibitory effects, and synergistically intervening in the pathological process of nonbacterial prostatitis.
