ABSTRACT
Based on the systematic deconstruction of multi-dimensional and multi-target biological networks, modular pharmacology explains the complex mechanism of diseases and the interactions of multi-target drugs. It has made progress in the fields of pathogenesis of disease, biological basis of disease and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome, pharmacological mechanism of multi-target herbs, compatibility of formulas, and discovery of new drug of TCM compound. However, the complexity of multi-omics data and biological networks brings challenges to the modular deconstruction and analysis of the drug networks. Here, we constructed the "Computing Platform for Modular Pharmacology" online analysis system, which can implement the function of network construction, module identification, module discriminant analysis, hub-module analysis, intra-module and inter-module relationship analysis, and topological visualization of network based on quantitative expression profiles and protein-protein interaction(PPI) data. This tool provides a powerful tool for the research on complex diseases and multi-target drug mechanisms by means of modular pharmacology. The platform may have broad range of application in disease modular identification and correlation mechanism, interpretation of scientific principles of TCM, analysis of complex mechanisms of TCM and formulas, and discovery of multi-target drugs.
