    AbstractPulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a serious interstitial disease that includes diffuse collagen deposition of lung tissue. Polygonum capitatum Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don (THL) is a traditional vaccine that has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. In this research, to investigate the mechanism of action of THL in the intervention of pulmonary fibrosis by network pharmacology and molecular docking related research methods, in order to provide a theoretical basis for expanding the scope of THL medication. A total of 49 active ingredients were analyzed and screened in Cephalus cephalusis, including 35 pulmonary fibrosis targets, and 10 key targets such as ALB, EGFR were screened after software analysis. The molecular docking results showed that there were 44 binding energies less than -3 kcal·mol-1 in the 60 docking results, indicating that most proteins had strong binding energies with compounds. The key targets of KEGG enrichment analysis were mainly enriched in 20 core action pathways, such as hemostasis-related pathway, regulation of kinase activity. This study shows that based on network pharmacology, the multicomponent-multitarget-multipathway effect of THL intervention in pulmonary fibrosis is discussed.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).
