OBJECTIVE: To explore the target, signaling pathways and their biological
functions of Qingfei Paidu Decoction in the treatment of COVID-19 based on
network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. METHODS: The active
components and target proteins in 21 drugs such as Ephedrae Herba and Pinelliae
Rhizoma in Qingfei Paidu decoction were analyzed, and the signaling pathways and
biological functions of the target proteins common with COVID-19 were screened by
using TCMSP, Swiss Target Prediction, CooLGeN, GeneCards, DAVID and other
databases. The network diagram of Qingfei Paidu decoction was constructed using
Gephi software. RESULTS: We identified 163 active ingredients, including
MOL004798, MOL000519, MOL004824, MOL000554, MOL010428, and MOL013443, from 18
drugs in Qingfei Paidu decoction (such as Ephedrae Herba, Pinelliae Rhizoma,
Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhiizoma, Farfarae Flos, Asteris Radix Et Rhizoma and
Aurantii Fructus Immaturus). These ingredients activate renin-angiotensin system
signaling pathway and apoptosis signaling pathway by regulating 10 protein
targets (ACE, ACE2, AGTR1, FURIN, TNF, CASP3, CASP6, DPP4, MCL1 and POLD1) to
execute 42 biological functions such as renin-angiotensin regulation of blood
volume and systemic arterial blood pressure to treat COVID-19. The results of
preliminary molecular docking showed that MOL000519 (from Pinelliae Rhizoma),
MOL000554 (from Farfarae Flos), MOL004798 (from Ephedrae Herba), MOL004824 (from
Glycyrrhizae Radix Et Rhiizoma), MOL010428 (from Asteris Radix Et Rhizoma), and
MOL013443 (from Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) had good affinity with SARS-CoV-2 3CL
hydrolase to form complexes with stable conformations and high binding activity
(binding energy ?- 5 kJ/mol). CONCLUSIONS: Qingfei Paidu decoction can treat
COVID-19 through its multiple medicinal ingredients that have multiple targets
and involve multiple signaling pathways for different biological functions. Our
finding provides reference for further investigation into the pharmacological
mechanism of Qingfei Paidu decoction in treating COVID-19.
