  1. Computational Platform for Mechanistic Study of Chinese Herb Dr. Zhiwei Cao College of life science and biotechnology, Tongji University; Shanghai Center for Bioinformation Technology

  2. Overview • Introduction of Mechanistic Study of Chinese Herb • Computational Platform: Resources and Technologies • Case Study • Ongoing and future development

  3. 1. Introduction: Mechanism of HerbsMultiple Ingredients, Multiple Targets, Network Pharmacology & Therapeutics 2000, 86:191-198

  4. Questions about Herb Mechanism • What ingredients are active compounds? • What are their potential targets? • What are their targeted pathways? • How can we analyze the network? • …..

  5. 2. Platform: Resources and Technologies 1. China patent filed: • Identification of main active ingredients of herbs based on database technology (SCBIT) 2. US patent obtained: • INVDOCK to identify potential drug targets (BIDD) 3. Software license obtained: • Human intergrated PPI database (SCBIT) 4. China patent filed: • Computational platform and methodologies to support herbal mechanistic study (SCBIT)

  6. 2.1 Herbal Ingredient and Content database（HICD) • Above 30 related journals ; • >3200 literatures being curated; • Herbs from 39 countries; • >15,000 ingredient with Content information; • Including all potential factors affecting ingredient content • Collecting time, site • herbal part… • Processing methods • Method to measure the content • Therapeutic effects • Diseases…

  7. 2.2. Computational Method to Identify Potential Targets (INVDOCK) • US patent authorized: 6,519,611 B1 (Feb.11.2003 ) • German Merck testing in 2006 • Getting improved both in BIDD and SCBIT • Getting Co-developed with Bridgeway high-computing company ( www.bridgeway.com.cn) in Oct, 2007

  8. 2.3 Target network construction based on （ISHIP） • Experimental and predicted PPI > 610,000 pairs； • > 29,000 with experimental evidence； • Covering whole human genome, with confidence scoring system； • Linking to genetic disease database (OMIM）； • Software licensed: 2006SR05464。

  9. 1.3 Integrated Source of Human interacting proteins（ISHIP）

  10. Supporting various queries • 支持多种检索方式 • Protein accession • Gene symbol • GeneID • IPI accession • Keyword • BLAST Gene symbol search
