Background and Objective: The aim of this article, was the definition, and targets of possible mechanisms of Yin lai Decoction by retrieving the
herbals in the decoction and integrating information from multi-databases, which can be guidance for the followed experimental study.
Matherials and Methods: The information from multi-databases was integrated.
Results: In the study, we discovered 92 possible gene targets of Yin lai Decoction, 87% of which appeared in the targets of
Flos Lonicerae
,
Fructus Forsythiae
and
Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. The function of these targets focuses on the anti-infection and regulating immune system,
and metabolism of the body.
Conclusion: Yin lai Decoction may affect the process of metabolism, immune response and infection by impact on the 92 possible gene targets,
then it can mitigate the damage caused by infection and promote the body to health. But the definite mechanisms must be explored by further
experimental study.
