Molecular mechanism of action of Liuwei Dihuang pill for the treatment of osteoporosis based on network pharmacology and molecular docking
ConclusionsOur bioinformatic analyses suggest that LDP may be useful for the treatment of osteoporosis mainly by regulating proliferation and apoptosis signaling pathways, improving bone microenvironment, and regulating hormone and enzyme activities. Identification of some key target genes and active substances supports these results. These data provide a theoretical basis for further study of the role of LDP in the treatment of osteoporosis.
