Molecular mechanism of Ferula asafoetida for the treatment of asthma: Network pharmacology and molecular docking approach.

ABSTRACT: Asthma is a significant health-care burden that has great impact on the quality of life of patients and their families. The limited amount of previously reported data and complicated pathophysiology of asthma make it a difficult to treat and significant economic burden on public healthcare systems. Ferula asafoetida is an herbaceous, monoecious, perennial plant of the Umbelliferae family. In Asia, F. asafoetida is used to treat a range of diseases and disorders, including asthma. Several in vitro studies demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of F. asafoetida against asthma. Nevertheless, the precise molecular mechanism is yet to be discovered. In the framework of current study, network pharmacology approach was used to identify the bioactive compounds of F. asafoeti
