Network Pharmacology-based Study on Mechanism of Raw and Vinegar Products of Curcuma phaeocaulis in Endometriosis Treatment Combined with UFLC-Q-TOF-MS

Objective To study the mechanism of action of raw and vinegar processed products of Curcuma phaeocaulis for the treatment of endometriosis through network pharmacology and molecular docking under the help of accurate identification of chemical compositions.Methods Through ultrafast liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UFLC-Q-TOF-MS),the chemical ingredients in ethanol extract of both raw and vinegar processed products of Curcuma phaeocaulis were analyzed.Target prediction of endometriosis was performed,then the component-disease-target network was constructed,and the GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of the target protein were carried out.Finally,the molecular docking was accomplished between active components and key targets.Results A total of 20 chemical compositions from raw and vinegar processed products of Curcuma phaeocaulis were obtained,in which curcumenone,curcumin,bis-demethoxycurcumin and so on were closely related to endometriosis.ATK1,EGFR,STAT3,and RAF1 had good affinity with these compounds predicted by molecular docking.The target function of enrichment analysis showed that the drug mainly played its therapeutic effect on endometriosis through inflammatory response,FoxO signaling pathway,endocrine resistance,and prostate cancer pathway.Conclusion This study can provide basis for the identification of active components and the potential mechanism of the raw and vinegar processed products of Curcuma phaeocaulis for endometriosis treatment.
