摘要: Effective compounds isolated from Chinese herbs play an important role in the development of new candidate drugs, which can be widely used in the treatment of various diseases. Previous literature has revealed that Stellera chamaejasme L. possesses the activity of inhibiting liver cancer cells. Nevertheless, the interactions between active compounds isolated from this herb and targets related to liver cancer are still not very clear. In this study, we applied network pharmacology-based analysis to figure out these relationships. And eight compounds were predicted to have the most significant activity against liver cancer. At the same time, the binding modes between the top eight candidate compounds and the protein target Glutamine synthetase which is likely to be the most important target associated with liver cancer were identified. It is believed that the study can provide a reference for the discovery of new drug molecules.
