Abstract

Background: The increasing incidence of hyperlipidemia (HLP) is attributed to the imbalance in redox homeostasis, aberrant lipid metabolism, and the excessive intake of empty calories. Dajihan Pill (DJHP) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula composed of Zingiberis Rhizoma (ZR), Piperis Longi Fructus (PLF), Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizome (AOR), and Cinnamomi Cortex (CC) in a ratio of 3:2:3:2. It exhibits a significant preventive effect on HLP. Certainly, the active components and the precise mechanism of action are not fully understood. Therefore, this study aims to elucidate the preventive and ameliorative mechanisms of DJHP against HLP by integrating network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental validation.

Method: Based on the pharmacological method, active ingredients in DJHP and targets were extracted from Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology (TCMSP) and UniProt. Then core compounds and targets were obtained by constructing “compounds-targets-disease” and proteinprotein interaction (PPI) network. Gene Ontology (GO) function analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were employed to elucidate further the associated action mechanism. The molecular binding mechanisms between the core ingredients and targets were elucidated through molecular docking. Additionally, the antioxidant capacities of DJHP extracts were investigated by assessing their DPPH, hydroxyl, and ABTS radical scavenging activities.

Results: A total of 45 active compounds and 258 targets were identified in DJHP. Network analysis indicated that quercetin, beta-sitosterol, kaempferol, and oleic acid might serve as core bioactive compounds. Seven core targets, including AKT1, INS, and TNF, were identified as potential preventive targets. GO analysis suggested the improvement of HLP by DJHP may be related to the lipid metabolic process, high-density lipoprotein particle, triglyceride binding, and inflammatory response. The KEGG analysis indicated TNF, HIF-1, and AMPK signaling pathways were involved. The observations of active compounds binding with core targets indicated an excellent combination. Additionally, antioxidant results showed that DJHP exhibited significant DPPH, hydroxyl, and ABTS radical scavenging activities.

Conclusion: Theoretical and experimental investigations indicate that DJHP can effectively modulate various signaling pathways and enhance the redox system, thus mitigating HLP. Our work provided a basis for the pharmacological study of DJHP in preventing HLP and further research.
