Objective To investigate the potential mechanism of Xihuang Pills (XHP) in treating breast cancer using network pharmacology and molecular docking. Methods Active components of XHP and their corresponding targets were retrieved from the TCMSP and HERB databases. Disease-related targets of breast cancer were obtained from GeneCards,OMIM,and NCBI databases. The intersection targets between XHP’ s active components and breast cancer-related targets were identified as potential therapeutic targets. Cytoscape 3.7.0 was used to construct a "herb- active component-disease-potential target" network to identify key active compounds. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks of the intersection targets were analyzed using the STRING database to determine core targets. Gene Ontology (GO) functional and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed using R4.5.0. Molecular docking validation of key active components and core targets was conducted using Schrödinger Maestro software. Results A total of 46 active components and 189 potential targets (intersection targets) were identified. Key active components included quercetin,β -sitosterol,stigmasterol,ellagic acid,pelargonidin,and morin,while core targets comprised TP53,JUN,AKT1,HSP90AA1,and ESR1. GO enrichment analysis revealed 2 407 biological processes,91 cellular components,and 230 molecular functions,whereas KEGG pathway analysis identified 191 signaling pathways, with significant enrichment in IL-17, TNF, and related pathways. Molecular docking demonstrated stable binding between key active components and core targets. Conclusion XHP may exert therapeutic effects against breast cancer through multiple active components (e. g., quercetin, β -sitosterol, stigmasterol,ellagic acid) acting on core targets (e. g.,TP53,JUN,AKT1,HSP90AA1) and modulating IL-17, TNF,and other signaling pathways,reflecting its multi-component,multi-target,and multi-pathway characteristics.
