Abstract

Background: In recent years, the prevalence and mortality of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been increasing. The clinical features are different with different cases, so the treatment ways are different for each one.

Objective: Baohewan Heshiwei Wen Dan Tang (BHWDT) has been recommended for treating autistic spectrum disorder. To investigate the mechanism of action and how the compounds interact with ASD targets, network pharmacology and molecular docking methods were used in this study.

Methods: Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) was used to screen the active components according to index of oral bio-activity and drug-likeness. Then, TCMSP and Swiss Target Prediction databases were used to screen potential target genes of active components. The related target genes of ASD were obtained from the Gene Cards database. Matescape database was utilized to get gene ontology (GO) function enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway annotation of gene targets. Composition- target-pathway (C-T-P) and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were built with Cytoscape 3.8.2 software.

Results: The interaction of the main active components of BHWDT was verified by molecular docking. The key targets of MAPK1, IL6, CXCL8 and TP53 of BHWDT were obtained. The key active components Quercetin, Kaempferol and Iuteolin of BHWDT could bind with MAPK1, IL6, CXCL8 and TP53 of BHWDT, respectively.

Conclusion: BHWDT can be highly effective for treating ASD and this study can help us to understand multiple targets and multiple pathways mechanism.

Keywords: Keywords: BHWDT, autistic spectrum disorder, network pharmacology, TCMSP, dock, protein-protein interaction.
