摘要 [Objectives] To explore the relationship between anti-tumor components, targets, and pathways involved in Viola medicinal materials, study its main active components, and evaluate its inhibitory activity. [Methods] Through network pharmacological analysis, molecular docking simulation experiments and in vitro experiments, the main components and corresponding targets of Viola were screened out, and their anti-tumor signaling pathways were confirmed. MTT colorimetric assay was used to investigate the inhibitory effect of different extraction layers of Viola on the growth of tumor cells. [Results] 18 anti-tumor active components such as 2α, 19α-Dihydroxyursolic acid, Corlumine, Madolin U, Trifolirhizin and etc., and 52 action targets such as PTGS2, PTGS1, P2RX7, MMP1, and GABRB3, and anti-tumor signaling pathways were confirmed. The results of molecular docking showed that all the selected Viola compounds had good binding activity. The results of MTT colorimetric assay showed that the petroleum ether layer and n-butanol layer had a good inhibitory effect on the growth of tumor cell lines. [Conclusions] Viola medicinal materials have the potential of anti-tumor, triterpenoids and flavonoids may be the main active components, and the petroleum ether layer and n-butanol layer have better inhibitory effect on the growth of tumor cells.
