摘要
Protostane-type triterpenoids are antifibrotic nature components with unique structures in Alismatis Rhizoma. However, the underlying mechanisms of them against liver fibrosis are not well illustrated. The present study aims to study the targets and mechanisms of Alismatis Rhizoma triterpenes responsible for their antifibrotic effects by network pharmacology, molecular docking, and luciferase assay. As a result, six molecular targets responsible for the antifibrotic effects of alisols against liver fibrosis were uncovered by network pharmacology, among which the activation of farnesoid X receptor (FXR/NR1H4) was highlighted and further confirmed by molecular docking and luciferase assay. Our present study provides a scientific basis for treating liver fibrosis by using Alismatis Rhizoma, especially via the FXR activation effects of alisols.
