A Systems Pharmacology Approach to Determine Active Compounds and Action Mechanisms of Xipayi KuiJie’an enema for Treatment of Ulcerative colitis

Abstract Xipayi Kui Jie’an (KJA), a type of traditional Uygur medicine (TUM), has shown promising therapeutic effects in Ulcerative colitis (UC). Owing to the complexity of TUM, the pharmacological mechanism of KJA remains vague. Therefore, the identification of complex molecular mechanisms is a maj...
