摘要

Objectives

Jisheng-Wumei Tablet (JSWMT) is traditionally used in Chinese medicine for cancer therapy and shows potential efficacy against laryngeal cancer. This study aimed to elucidate the active components of JSWMT, with a specific focus on the role of baicalein in targeting cytochrome C (CYCS) to inhibit laryngeal cancer.

Methods

Utilizing network pharmacology, we identified the active ingredients of JSWMT and their corresponding drug targets by leveraging data from the TCMSP and GeneCards databases to pinpoint laryngeal cancer-related targets. Key targets were identified through survival analysis of TCGA expression data, and molecular docking was employed to evaluate the binding affinity between JSWMT compounds and these targets.

Results

Our research identified 35 effective JSWMT ingredients that interact with 132 drug targets, which intersect with 421 targets related to laryngeal cancer. Survival analysis highlighted IL2, CYCS, and CTNNB1 as critical targets significantly correlated with patient survival. Molecular docking demonstrated a strong affinity between CYCS and baicalein, indicating that baicalein is JSWMT’s principal active component against laryngeal cancer.

Conclusion

Baicalein is identified as the key active ingredient in JSWMT, targeting CYCS to inhibit the growth of laryngeal cancer cells. This investigation highlights baicalein’s potential mechanism of action and underscores the importance of integrating traditional Chinese medicine with contemporary cancer treatment strategies, offering a novel approach to laryngeal cancer therapy.
