A network pharmacology-based approach to explore potential targets of Caesalpinia pulcherima: an updated prototype in drug discovery.


ABSTRACT: Caesalpinia pulcherima (CP) is a traditional herb used for the treatment of asthma, bronchitis, cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and as abortifacient. In the present study, bioactive components and potential targets in the treatment of breast cancer validated through in silico, in vitro and in vivo approach. The results for the analysis were as among 29 components, only four components were found active for further study which proved the use of CP as a multi-target herb for betterment of clinical uses. The results found by PPI states that our network has significant interactions which include the ESR-1, ESR-2, ESRRA, MET, VEGF, FGF, PI3K, PDK-1, MAPK, PLK-1, NEK-2, and GRK. Compound-target network involves 4 active compound and 150 target genes which elucidate the mechanisms of drug action in breast cancer treatment. Furthermore, on the basis of the above results the important proteins were fetched for the docking study which helps in predicting the possible interaction between components and targets. The results of the western blotting showed that CP regulates ER and EGFR expression in MCF-7 cell. In addition to this animal experimentation showed that CP significantly improved immunohistological status in MNU induced carcinoma rats. Network pharmacology approach not only helps us to confirm the study of the chosen target but also gave an idea of compound-target network as well as pathways associated to the CP for treating the complex metabolic condition as breast cancer and they importance for experimental verification.
