2.1 Screening of the target of puerarin in the treatment of NCP
Total established genes of puerarin were picked out through the effective tools of traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology (TCMSP), Swiss Target Prediction, SuperPred. Meanwhile, other NPC-nosopoietic genes were acquired by use of the DisGeNET, Genecards databases. Additionally, these acknowledged genes of puerarin and NPC were mapped prior to emendation by Uniprot tool. After functional enrichment analysis by Funrich software, all anti-NPC biotargets exerted of puerarin were screened and identified, as reported elsewhere [20-21].
