Serum Pharmacochemistry and Network Pharmacology Reveal Active Compounds and Mechanisms of the Huaxian Formula in Alleviating Radiation-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis by Gong C, Chen J, Zou P, Fang Z, Quan L, Wang J, Yin J, Lin B, Lang J, Chen M

“…Molecular docking indicated that key compounds in HXF serum, 5,7,8-trimethoxyflavone, and hyperoside, exhibited strong affinity with key targets. Finally, animal experiments confirmed that HXF significantly inhibited the expression of p-Akt and p-PI3K proteins in the lung tissue of irradiated mice.Conclusion: Our research results indicate that HXF may exert its effects on the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis (RIPF) through multiple pathways and targets, with the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway likely playing the most crucial role in this process. …”
