Exploring the role of Xingren on COVID ‐19 based on network pharmacology and molecular docking

Since the outbreak of novel Coronavirus Pneumonia 2019 (COVID‐19), the role of Almonds (Xingren) in the protection and treatment of COVID‐19 is not clear. Network pharmacology and molecular docking were used to explore the potential mechanism and potential key targets of Xingren on COVID‐19. A total of nine common targets between them were obtained, and these targets were involved in multiple related processes of GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Molecular docking showed that licochalcone B has the best binding energy (−9.33 kJ·mol⁻¹) to PTGS2. They are maybe the important ingredient and key potential target. Its possible mechanism is to intervene anxiety disorder in the process of disease development, such as regulation of blood pressure, reactive oxygen species metabolic process, leishmaniasis peroxisome, and IL‐17 signaling pathway.
