BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis(UC)is a refractory intestinal disease with alternating onset and remission and a long disease course,which seriously affects the health and quality of life of patients.The goal of treatment is to control clinical symptoms,induce and maintain remission,promote mucosal healing,and reduce recurrence.Clinical trials have shown unsatisfactory clinical response rates.As a supplementary alternative medicine,traditional Chinese medicine has a rich history and has shown good results in the treatment of UC.Because of the quality of herbal medicine and other factors,the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine is not stable enough.The mechanism underlying the effect of Jianpi Qingchang Huashi Recipe(JPQCHSR)on inducing UC mucosal healing is not clear.AIM To investigate the potential mechanism of JPQCHSR for the treatment of UC based on network pharmacology and molecular docking.METHODS Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform was used to extract the active components and action targets of JPQCHSR,and the target names were standardized and corrected through UniProt database.The related targets of UC were obtained through GeneCards database,and the intersection targets of drugs and diseases were screened by jvenn online analysis tool.The visual regulatory network of"Traditional Chinese medicine-active components-target-disease"was constructed using Cytoscape software,the protein interaction network was constructed using STRING database,and enrichment analysis of gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways was conducted through R software.At last,the active components were docked with the core target through SYBYL-X 2.1.1 software.RESULTS Through database analysis,a total of 181 active components,302 targets and 205 therapeutic targets were obtained for JPQCHSR.The key compounds include quercetin,luteolin,kaempferol,etc.The core targets involved STAT3,AKT1,TP53,MAPK1,MAPK3,JUN,TNF,etc.A total of 2861 items were obtained by GO en
