Network Pharmacology and Experimental Validation of the Therapeutic Effect of Baji Capsule on LPS-Induced Osteoporosis by Li Q, Li D, Tian C, Liu X, Wang H, Liu H

“…The therapeutic effect of Baji capsule was evaluated by high-resolution micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) and tissue section staining, serum inflammatory factor levels were assessed by ELISA, serum oxidative stress-related marker levels were determined by kits, and finally the mechanism was explored by network pharmacology and then verified by immunohistochemistry.Results: Micro-CT results showed that Baji capsule attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory bone loss.Baji capsule also reduced serum inflammatory factor levels and oxygen free radical production. Target screening by network pharmacology yielded a total of 236 active ingredients of Baji capsule, as well as 278 common targets after taking the intersection of Baji capsule active ingredient targets and osteoporosis disease-related targets.Conclusion: Baji capsule can treat osteoporosis by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. …”
