Abstract: [Objectives] To explore the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of Glyasperin A (GAA) on myocardial ischemia (MI) based on network pharmacology and molecular docking. [Methods] The molecular structure of GAA was downloaded from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), and all targets of GAA were predicted by converting 3D model molecules into SMILES online tool and Swiss target prediction. Genecards database and DisGeNET database were used to find the targets related to MI, and then Venny2.1.0 was used to generate the corresponding Wayne diagram, and then Cytoscape 3.9.1 software was used to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. With the help of DAVID database and Microbiology, the selected core targets were enriched and analyzed by gene ontology (GO), biological process (BP), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and then the molecular docking between GAA and core targets was verified by AutoDock and Pymol software. [Results] A total of 1883 MI targets were screened, and in the protein-protein interaction network, AKT1, PTGS2, PPARG, ESR1, GSK3B were the proteins with higher values. Gene ontology and KEEG enrichment analysis showed that the biological processes involved mainly included inflammatory response, negative regulation of gene expression, and response to exogenous stimuli. Signaling pathways mainly include IL-17 signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, and so on. The results of molecular docking showed that the binding energy of GAA and core protein was less than -5 Kcal/mol in four groups. These indicated that GAA with good binding had a certain therapeutic effect on myocardial ischemia. [Conclusions] Based on the systematic network pharmacology method, this study predicts the basic pharmacological effects and potential mechanisms of GAA in the treatment of MI, and reveals that GAA may treat MI through multiple targets and signaling pathways. It is expected to provide a basis for further study of its pharmacological mechanisms.
