Functional relevance of candidate targets was assessed using single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing, genome-wide clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) dependency datasets, and clinical survival analyses. To enable therapeutic translation, this study implemented a transcriptome-guided drug discovery strategy to systematically match pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)-specific gene expression signatures with compound-induced transcriptional profiles from the Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) database.

It also discusses future research trends and development prospects for frankincense, providing guidance for further exploration and utilization.

The genus <em>Boswellia</em> comprises approximately 24 known species, which produce frankincense, a highly aromatic resin widely used in traditional practices across Arabia, India, China, and Kenya. The <em>Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China</em> notes the ability of frankincense to promote blood circulation, relieve pain, reduce swelling, and resolve stasis.

Some <em>Boswellia</em> species are now endangered, and current research is limited to only a few species, which restricts the development and utilization of frankincense.

It exerts multi-targeted therapeutic effects, yet its phytochemical complexity hinders standardization and modern pharmacological development. This challenge is further exacerbated by the lack of comprehensive resources covering its diverse natural components, particularly as most previous research neglected peptides and small RNAs, which possess emerging therapeutic potential. There is an urgent need for novel research models to explore polyherbal formulations such as HXZQ. Here, we present the Huoxiang Zhengqi Component Galaxy (HXZQCG), a dedicated database for the HXZQ. HXZQCG integrates over seven million natural components through artificial intelligence-assisted mining, including 15 811 metabolites, 7 597 212 small peptides, and 152 342 small RNAs. To demonstrate its utility, we applied HXZQCG to screen for ligands of the histamine H<sub>2</sub> receptor (H<sub>2</sub>R), a well-established and druggable G Protein-Coupled Receptor (GPCR) target widely implicated in gastrointestinal pathologies. Through high-throughput screening of potential ligands for H<sub>2</sub>R based on the HXZQCG, we identified 125 candidates. Candidates identified through virtual screening were validated via cell membrane chromatography, ultimately identifying two putative binding small molecules. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that naringenin chalcone is a ligand of H<sub>2</sub>R, and it can inhibit the downstream accumulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). In sum, HXZQCG stands as a representative case study for polyherbal formulation research. It provides data-based resources for discovery of active component and elucidation of pharmacological mechanisms, serving as a fundamental data-driven platform to support the secondary development of HXZQ.
