Abstract: To study a clinical drug combination of COVID-19 Sanjiao-Cold-Dampness Syndrome, network pharmacology and molecular docking mechanism were investigated to analyze the medication mechanism. 77 types of traditional Chinese medicine components and 4760 action targets were screened. GO(gene ontology) analysis and KEGG(kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes) enrichment analysis of core targets using the DAVID(the database for amotation,visualization and intergated discovery),mainly involving biological processes such as protein binding,ATP binding and singaling pathways such as PI3-Akt and FOXO. The results of Maestro molecular docking showed that the docking scores of the blood-related drug components and COVID-19 related targets were less than -5. The results show that various active components in the drug team can have a direct antiviral effect by combining with the related targets of SARS-CoV-2 and play a regulatory role in COVID-19 through various biological pathways.

Key words: Sanjiao-Cold-Dampness Syndrome, COVID-19, signal pathway, molecular docking;network pharmacology
