Abstract
Background and purpose: This study, based on the network pharmacology approach, aims to systematically explore the potential molecular mechanism of Cangshu Diantong Pill in treating type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and particularly emphasises the theoretical correlation between its mechanism of action and the modern metabolic abnormality diagnostic indicators.
Methods: The study first screened the active components in Cangshu Diantong Pill that have pharmacokinetic characteristics through databases such as TCMIP, it integrated disease databases to obtain T2DM-related targets and constructed a drug-disease intersection target network. Core targets included AKT2, TNF, ADIPOQ, IGF1, etc., all of which are key biomarkers in current metabolic abnormality diagnostics.
Results: Pathway enrichment showed that Cangshu Diantong Pill mainly exerts its effects by regulating signalling pathways.
Conclusion: The study suggests that Cangshu Diantong Pill's intervention on T2DM may manifest as a synergistic regulation of multiple metabolic abnormality links, and its theoretical action pathway is highly consistent with the modern metabolic diagnostic system.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Physiology and Biochemistry: The Journal of Metabolic Diseases is an international peer-reviewed journal which has been relaunched to meet the increasing demand for integrated publication on molecular, biochemical and cellular aspects of metabolic diseases, as well as clinical and therapeutic strategies for their treatment. It publishes full-length original articles, rapid papers, reviews and mini-reviews on selected topics. It is the overall goal of the journal to disseminate novel approaches to an improved understanding of major metabolic disorders.
The scope encompasses all topics related to the molecular and cellular pathophysiology of metabolic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, and their associated complications.
Clinical studies are considered as an integral part of the Journal and should be related to one of the following topics:
-Dysregulation of hormone receptors and signal transduction
-Contribution of gene variants and gene regulatory processes
-Impairment of intermediary metabolism at the cellular level
-Secretion and metabolism of peptides and other factors that mediate cellular crosstalk
-Therapeutic strategies for managing metabolic diseases
Special issues dedicated to topics in the field will be published regularly.
