Objective To explore the medication rules and potential molecular mechanisms of prescriptions containing Baiji (Bletillae Rhizoma) based on multi-dimensional data analysis methods. Method The prescriptions containing Bletillae Rhizoma in the Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescriptions were collected and organized. Statistical analyses were conducted on parameters including historical dynasties, dosage forms, administration routes, preparation methods, therapeutic indications, frequency of use and dosage, efficacy categories, and properties (nature, flavor, and meridian tropism). Association rule mining and cluster analysis were employed to explore the compatibility patterns. The active components and their potential targets of the Bletillae Rhizoma-Bailian (Ampelopsis Radix) herb pair were obtained from public databases, and the disease-related targets associated with “carbuncles and abscesses” were identified through database screening. Topological network analysis was performed to identify the potential targets of the herb pair in treating “carbuncles and abscesses”. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were subsequently conducted. Molecular docking validation was performed using AutoDock software based on the results of network pharmacology. The optimal binding energy complexes from molecular docking were subjected to 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation. Results A total of 531 effective prescriptions containing Bletillae Rhizoma were collected, involving 579 types of Chinese herbs. The herbs were mainly characterized by cold, warm, or neutral properties, and by bitter, pungent, or sweet flavors, predominantly entering the liver, lung, stomach, and spleen meridians. Most prescriptions were prepared as ointments or powders, typically processed with oil or water, and primarily administered externally. The 531 prescriptions were used to treat 179 symptoms, which were classified into 29 major categories according to the symptom index in Volume 11 of the Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescriptions. The categories with the highest frequency were “carbuncles and abscesses”, “dermatological diseases and syndromes”, “traumatological diseases and syndromes”, and “diseases and syndromes of qi, blood, essence, and body fluids.” Dosage analysis revealed that the common dosage of Bletillae Rhizoma was 3.73 g, usually combined with other Chinese herbs at an approximately 1∶1 ratio. Network pharmacology analysis showed that the core active components of Bletillae Rhizoma-Ampelopsis Radix herb pair for treating “carbuncles and abscesses” were bletlol A, (−)-catechin gallate, 1-(2,7-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-1-phenanthryl)-4-methoxyphenanthrene-2,7-diol, spinasterol, stigmasterol, sitosterol, and 1-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-4-methoxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-2,7-diol, mainly belonging to sterols and aromatic hydrocarbon classes. The key targets included AKT1, TNF, BCL2, EGFR, JUN, CASP3, STAT3, and the biological pathways mainly involved cancer (pathways in cancer), phosphatidylinositol-3-hydroxykinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt), mitogen-activated protein kinase, etc. with functions mainly inhibiting cancer transcription factors, regulating enzyme activity, and regulating the expression of inflammation-related genes. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation results showed that the core components of Bletillae Rhizoma-Ampelopsis Radix herb pair had good binding activity with the target proteins. Among them, bletlol A can regulate the PI3K-Akt pathway to affect STAT3 expression, effectively treating “carbuncles and abscesses” through anti-inflammatory and tissue repair effects. Conclusion Bletillae Rhizoma can be combined with various herbs to treat multiple diseases, mainly exerting the effects of reducing swelling, promoting tissue regeneration, and relieving pain and bleeding. Its combination with Ampelopsis Radix exerts therapeutic effects on “carbuncles and abscesses” through multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway mechanisms.
