Drug research and design involves the capturing of structural information for biological targets and small molecules as well as various in silico methods, such as molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation. This article proposes the idea of expediting computational drug development through a collaboration of scientists and universities, similar to the Human Genome Project using machine learning (ML) strategies. We envision an automated system where readily available or novel small molecules (chemical or plant-derived), as well as their biological targets, are uploaded to an online database, which is constantly updated. For this system to function, machine learning strategies have to be implemented, and high-quality datasets and high quality assurance of the ML models will be required. ML can be applied to all computational drug discovery fields, including hit discovery, target validation, lead optimization, drug repurposing, and data mining of small compounds and biomolecule structures. Researchers from various disciplines, such as bioengineers, bioinformaticians, geneticists, chemists, computer and software engineers, and pharmacists, are expected to collaborate to establish a solid workflow and certain parameters as well as constraints for a successful outcome. This automated system may help speed up the drug discovery process while also lowering the number of unsuccessful drug candidates.

The components included chaihu (Bupleurum chinense DC.), baishao (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.), zhishi (Citrus aurantium L.) and gancao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. ex DC.). We used the Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology (TCMSP) Database, Traditional Chinese Medicines Integrated Database (TCMID), GeneCards database, therapeutic target database (TTD) and comparative toxicogenomic database (CTD) to construct the components-compounds-targets networks and used Cytoscape 3.9.1 software to visualize the outcome. Afterwards, the STRING database and Cytoscape 3.9.1 software were utilized to construct and visualize the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. In addition, the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were also conducted through the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). The molecular docking program was carried out using AutoDock 4.2 software to understand interactions between target receptors and compound ligands selected for study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;We thoroughly sorted and filtered 31 pharmacologically active compounds from SNS. Subsequently, several potential target genes were predicted, of which there were 59 target genes distinctly associated with anxious insomnia. The PPI analysis indicated that the core target proteins included AKT1, IL6, TNF, SLC6A4, MAOA and GABRA2. The results of our study indicated that SNS potentially remediates anxious insomnia by reducing inflammation, neurodegeneration, and cell apoptosis of neurons. In addition, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis results indicated that SNS could modulate multiple aspects of anxious insomnia through mechanisms related to pathways of neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction. These pathways include various kinds of synaptic transmission pathways, and anti-inflammatory activity associated with response pathways.

MPT-related pathways play a key role in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, including tumorigenesis. Its impact on COAD is still unknown.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>Bioinformatics analysis was conducted by analyzing the GEO database and TCGA database, and the bioinformatics results were verified by in vitro experiments.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>Through the analysis of the transcriptome data of 1008 COAD samples in the GEO database and TCGA database, the differential expressions of MPT-related genes in COAD were explored, followed by molecular subtype analysis based on MPT characteristics by univariate Cox algorithm analysis and the consensus clustering algorithm. The gene signature associated with MPT molecular subtypes was further identified and the MPT scoring system was established by the LASSO-univariate Cox analysis algorithm. After evaluating the prognostic value of the MPT scoring system in COAD patients via nomogram establishment, the clinical value of the MPT scoring system was comprehensively analyzed through somatic mutation characteristics analysis, immunotherapy response analysis, immunoinfiltration analysis, and drug sensitivity analysis. CCK-8, WB, PCR, colony formation method, and Transwell method were used to verify the effect of the screened target on the proliferation and invasion of COAD cells.</p><p><strong>Result: </strong>We successfully established a scoring system related to MPT and validated the prognostic value of COAD patients. The potential clinical value of the MPT scoring system was also analyzed.
