Network Pharmacology and Experimental Validation-based Investigation of the Underlying Mechanism of Yi-Yi-Fu-Zi-Bai-Jiang-San of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Yi-Yi-Fu-Zi-Bai-Jiang-San (YYFZBJS) is a representative traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula. However, its potential anti-tumor effects in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the monomers of YYFZBJS and their associated targets in the treatment of NPC. The primary active compounds of YYFZBJS and their corresponding targets were identified using the TCMSP, SEA, and Super-PRED databases. NPC-related target proteins were retrieved from OMIM, GeneCards, and TTD databases. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed using the common target proteins of YYFZBJS active compounds and NPC. Core genes were identified through three algorithms in CentiScape 2.2. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were
