Figure 2

Network pharmacology approach for CHM research. For the discovery of CHM-derived targets, effect prediction, mechanism clarification, and new drug assistant discovery using network pharmacology approach. It analyzes the information from public data, high-throughput experimental data, and TCM data and constructs a “CHM-TCM syndrome disease” interaction network using technologies of network expansion, optimization, comparison, knockout, and addition. Finally, it carries out computational and experimental verifications.
