Active ingredients and mechanisms of Phellinus linteus (grown on Rosa multiflora) for alleviation of Type 2 diabetes mellitus through network pharmacology. Gene. 2020 Nov 25;:145320 Authors: Oh KK, Adnan M, Cho DH Abstract Phellinus linteus (mushroom) grown on Rosa multiflora (PL@RM), exposed beneficial effect and safety on Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) from Korean folk remedies. However, its active chemical constituents and mechanism(s) against T2DM have not been confirmed. Hence, we deciphered the active compounds and mechanism(s) of PL@RM against T2DM through network pharmacology. GC-MS of PL@RM manifested 54 compounds and drug-likeness properties of these compounds were confirmed by Lipinski's rule. The compound (40) related genes were composed of Similarity Ensemble Approach (SEA) and SwissTargetPrediction (STP). The overlapping genes (61) between the two databases were identified. Besides, the T2DM related genes (4,736) were extracted from DisGeNet and OMIM database. In parallel, a Venn diagram was constructed between the overlapping genes (61) and T2DM related genes (4,736), and finally, 48 genes were picked. The interactive networks between compounds and overlapping genes were plotted and visualized by RStudio. In addition, KEGG Pathway enrichment analysis was evaluated by String. String analysis showed that the mechanisms of PL@RM against T2DM were related to 16 pathways, where inhibition of gluconeogenesis by inactivating...
