مستخلص: Taohong Siwu Decoction (THSWD), a traditional Chinese prescription renowned for its efficacy in promoting blood circulation and alleviating blood stasis, was investigated in this study to delineate its potential active components and discern the core targets (CTs) and signaling pathways implicated in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Initially, 25 active compounds (ACs) and 478 corresponding active ingredient targets (AITs) of THSWD were meticulously identified by scrutinizing the active ingredients and their targets through the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) and Similarity Ensemble Approach (SEA) databases. Subsequently, a comprehensive compilation of 724 AD-related targets was assembled from the Therapeutic Target Database (TTD), DisGeNET, DrugBank, Genetic Association Database (GAD), and GeneCards databases. Through a meticulous alignment of AITs with disease-related targets, 64 overlapping targets (OTs) emerged as critical intersections. To distill the key compounds, an intricate analysis of the interrelationships among the 25 ACs and 64 OTs resulted in the identification of 21 first-level key compounds (FKCs). Further scrutiny through protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis of the 64 OTs revealed 33 CTs. KEGG cluster analysis of these CTs yielded the top 73 pathways, forming the basis for constructing a network diagram encompassing "21 FKCs-33 CTs-73 pathways" using Cytoscape 3.7.2 software. Refining the network through the selection of topological parameters led to the identification of 19 second key components (SKCs). This information was then employed to construct a refined network, "19 SKCs-33 CTs-73 pathways", providing deeper insights into the intricate connections within the system. Further analyses culminated in the creation of a comprehensive network map, encapsulating "6 single drugs-8 potential active ingredients-13 core targets-54 signaling pathways", elucidating the multifaceted intervention of THSWD in AD. These results offered a novel perspective for understanding the pharmacodynamic material basis of THSWD and paved the way for in-depth investigations into its mechanisms of action and clinical applications in the context of AD.
