The chemical components of XZW were analyzed by LC–MS, and the corresponding targets were predicted by SwissTargetPrediction. Then POCD targets were obtained by GeneCards, OMIM, PharmGKB, and TTD database, and the “components-targets” and protein–protein interaction (PPI) maps were drawn by Cytoscape 3.9.1. The visualization of GO and KEGG enrichment analysis was obtained by micro-information. Finally, the content of network pharmacology prediction was preliminarily verified by molecular docking. Eighteen compounds were identified in XZW using LC–MS. SwissTargetPrediction predicted 443 compound targets. Among these, there are 352 common targets between the drug and the disease. Using Cytoscape 3.9.1, the main active components were screened as inophyllum E, liquiritigenin, pyrethrin, albiflorin, isoliquiritigenin, prunasin, meranzin, ligustilide, isoglycyrol, and dibutylphenol. PPI analysis identified the top 10 core proteins as: glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), protein kinase B (AKT1), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), src protein (SRC), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), caspase 3 (CASP3), estrogen receptor (ESR1), prostaglandin peroxidase synthase 2 (PTGS2), matrix metalloenzyme 9 (MMP9), and transcription factor (JUN). KEGG enrichment analysis revealed 166 pathways, including the neuroactive ligand–receptor interaction pathway. Molecular docking shows that the active components have a good affinity with the core targets.
