A New Prospect for the Treatment of Nephrotic Syndrome Based on Network Pharmacology Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Network pharmacology is an emerging field which is currently capturing interest in drug discovery and development. Chronic kidney conditions have become a threat globally due to its associated lifelong therapies. Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a common glomerular disease that is seen in paediatric and adult population with characteristic manifestation of proteinuria, oedema, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperlipidemia. It involves podocyte damage with tubulointerstitial fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis. Till date there has been no specific treatment available for this condition that provides complete remission. Repurposing of drugs can thus be a potential strategy for the treatment of NS. Recently, epigenetic mechanisms were identified that promote progression of many renal diseases. Therefore, in the
