Exploration of the Immuno-Inflammatory Potential Targets of Xinfeng Capsule in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis Based on Data Mining, Network Pharmacology, and Molecular Docking.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to ascertain the immuno-inflammatory molecular targets of Xinfeng capsules (XFC) in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) based on data mining, network pharmacology, and molecular docking.

Methods

The efficacy of XFC in the treatment of AS was assessed by clinical data mining. Network pharmacology was utilized to establish a network of the targets for XFC active ingredients in the treatment of AS. The binding mode and affinity of XFC active ingredients to the key targets for AS were predicted using molecular docking.

Results

XFC significantly diminished immuno-inflammatory indicators of AS. In total, 208 targets of XFC were obtained from the TCMSP database and 629 disease targets of AS were screened from the GeneCards database, which
