Abstract
Hyperviscosity syndrome (HVS) is a major risk factor for thrombotic diseases. Rhubarb, well-known as a traditional Chinese medicine, exhibits multiple pharmacological activities, especially for promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis (PBRB), which has been become a functional health food for decreasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, due to the complexity of rhubarb components, it is still difficult to clarify the specific targets of effective substances in PBRB, and the pharmacodynamic mechanism needs to be further probed. The "compound-target-cell-disease" network analysis was initially used to predict potential targets and bioactive compounds. The effect of rhubarb for the treatment of HVS was examined by histopathology and biochemical assays based on the HVS rat model. Through the "compound-target-cell-disease" network analysis, eight potential therapeutic targets were eventually screened out, and platelets were predicted as the main effector cells of rhubarb in PBRB. Among targets coagulation factor II (prothrombin, F2) and fibrinogen gamma chain (FGG) were closely related to platelets, and five compounds associated with F2 and FGG were predicted including emodin-8-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (Emo), p...Continue Reading
