Renshen Baidu Powder Attenuated Intestinal Inflammation and Apoptosis in Ulcerative Colitis Rats through the Inhibition of PI3K/AKT/NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Renshen Baidu Powder (RBP) is a famous classic compound of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is commonly used for treating ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the pharmacological mechanism of RBP in treating UC remains unclear. This study investigates the possible mechanism of RBP for UC treatment by network pharmacological analysis and rat validation.

Methods

First, the main chemical constituents of RBP were identified using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS). Then, we obtained targets of identified compounds from the SwissTargetPrediction database and targets associated with UC from GeneCards database. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genom
