A Systems-Pharmacology Analysis of Herbal Medicines Used in Health Improvement Treatment: Predicting Potential New Drugs and Targets

Figure 3

Target network and functional enrichment of the QEH. A target network of each herb was uniquely identified by mapping the possible targets of each herb into QEH-specific molecular network. The functions for the target networks were divided into 5 classifications. These enriched biological functions are associated with qi-enriching. Diagram frame labeled in pink color denote QEH, diagram frame labeled in green color denote the active compounds of the each QEH, diagram frame labeled in purple color represent targets of active compounds, and diagram frame labeled in blue color represent functions for the target networks. The effective molecules of Codonopsis pilosula and Radix pseudostellariae are contained in atractylodes and Ginseng, so target analysis no longer mentions Codonopsis pilosula and Radix pseudostellariae.
