Effects of Curcumin on Radiation/Chemotherapy-Induced Oral Mucositis: Combined Meta-Analysis, Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

ABSTRACT: The study aims to investigate the effects of curcumin on radiation/chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (R/CIOM) and preliminarily explore its mechanism. Randomized controlled trials were identified from the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Medline, and Google Scholar databases. RevMan 5.4 was used for statistical analysis to calculate the combined risk ratios (RRs). The mechanism was analyzed through network pharmacology, molecular docking, and a molecular dynamics simulation. The targets of curcumin were collected in HERB, PharmMapper, Targetnet, Swiss Target Prediction, and SuperPred. OMIM, GeneCards, and Disgenet were used to collect relevant targets for R/CIOM. Cytoscape software 3.8.0 was used to construct the component-target-pathway network. Protein-Protein Interact
