Insight into Ginkgo biloba L. Extract on the Improved Spatial Learning and Memory by Chemogenomics Knowledgebase, Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics Simulation, and Bioassay Validations.

ABSTRACT: Epilepsy is a common cause of serious cognitive disorders and is known to have impact on patients' memory and executive functions. Therefore, the development of antiepileptic drugs for the improvement of spatial learning and memory in patients with epileptic cognitive dysfunction is important. In the present work, we systematically predicted and analyzed the potential effects of Ginkgo terpene trilactones (GTTL) on cognition and pathologic changes utilizing in silico and in vivo approaches. Based on our established chemogenomics knowledgebase, we first conducted the network systems pharmacology analysis to predict that ginkgolide A/B/C may target 5-HT 1A, 5-HT 1B, and 5-HT 2B. The detailed interactions were then further validated by molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations
