June 2023 in “Pharmaceutical Biology” This study investigates the Qing Cuo Formula (QCF), a traditional Chinese medicine for acne treatment, using animal experiments and network pharmacology. Conducted on 60 male golden hamsters with damp-heat acne, the study found that low-dose QCF significantly reduced serum androgen and inflammatory cytokine levels compared to a blank group. In vitro analysis identified 75 compounds in QCF, with 27 active compounds absorbed in serum. Network pharmacology revealed 6 active components targeting 17 proteins, with pathways regulating extracellular matrix function, inflammation, immune response, and endocrine function. The findings elucidate QCF's molecular mechanism and material basis, suggesting its potential for treating other damp-heat related conditions.
