Abstract (original English)

The purpose of this study was to study the potential mechanism of Polygonati Rhizoma for treating hyperlipidemia (HLP) based on network pharmacology and molecular docking. Predicted potential targets and signaling pathway networks were established between candidate active compounds and therapeutic targets of HLP. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology and Analysis Platform database is a Chinese medicine collection and analysis system, and various target genes were identified for the treatment of HLP. The treatment data on HLP in the Human Gene Card, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, and the Therapeutic Target Database were input into disease targets. The 4 databases in the treatment of HLP were input into Venny 2.1.0 to screen the core targets of Polygonati Rhizoma in the treatment of HLP. The "drug-ingredient-target" network model was built with Cytoscape 3.9.1 software. In order to analyze protein-protein interaction networks, the Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins database was updated with the added key targets. To identify functional annotations and path enrichment associated with potential genes, the Metascape database was used for path enrichment analysis of data from Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. A docking software program, Autodock Tools, was used to analyze and confirm chemically high-quality drug elem
