Exploring the Potential Mechanisms of Zhu-Ye-Qing Wine in Preventing Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases Based on Network Pharmacology.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (CCVD) is a complex disease with a long latency period, and the most effective diagnosis and treatment methods are risk assessment and preventive interventions before onset. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Zhu-Ye-Qing wine (ZYQW) has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis. However, whether ZYQW can improve the progression of CCVD has not been reported. This study aims to explore the possible mechanism of ZYQW on CCVD through network pharmacology, and finally 249 potential targets of ZYQW and 2080 potential targets of CCVD are obtained. The key targets mainly include MAPK3, TP53, RELA, MAPK1 and AKT1. The main KEGG pathways include TNF signaling pathway, lipid and atherosclerosis pathway signaling pathway. The components in ZYQW are identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-CQE-CQE-MS/MS). Through network pharmacology, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation, the potential key components and prevention mechanisms of ZYQW in the prevention of CCVD are determined. ZYQW may be an effective and safe health food for the prevention of CCVD, providing guidance and basis for the further development of medicinal foods.
