Abstract: Objective: To explore the mechanism of Compound Longxuejie Capsules in treating coronary heart disease by network pharmacology and molecular docking. Methods: The chemical components of Compound Longxuejie Capsules were searched by Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database; SwissADME platform and Swiss Target Prediction database were used to screen active components and obtain drug targets; disease targets were obtained from GeneCards and other databases;  drug-component-disease target network and the protein-protein interaction network were constructed; GO analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were conducted through Metascape platform; AutodockVina software was used to dock the active components with the key targets. Results: 81 active components were screened. 124 targets were related to coronary heart disease, and the key targets were AKT1, EGFR, AR, PTGS2, SRC and ESR1. GO analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the targets involved nuclear factor-κB, PPAR and other signaling pathways, and biological processes such as inflammation reaction and fatty acid metabolism. The results of molecular docking showed that the binding activity of the active component to the key targets was strong. Conclusion: It is predicted that quercetin, resveratrol and other active components in Compound Longxuejie Capsules will combine with AKT1, AR, PTGS2 and other targets to act on nuclear factor-κB, PPAR and other signal pathways, which play a role in treating coronary heart disease.
