Swiss TargetPrediction analysis predicted all targets. The PPI network was constructed using STRING 12.0 and CytoNCA in Cytoscape, followed by GO and KEGG enrichment analyses. Three publicly available datasets (GSE70362, GSE124272, GSE150408) were analyzed for differential gene expression in IVDD, with efferocytosis\u2010related genes retrieved from GeneCards and KEGG, and candidate targets identified by intersecting PPI network core targets with efferocytosis\u2010related differentially expressed genes (EFRDEGs). A network pharmacology model was then constructed, followed by molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and pharmacokinetic properties.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 77 active ingredients and 298 targets were identified, with ELANE, MPO, and RXRA selected as candidate targets through bioinformatics analysis. GO and KEGG analyses highlighted their roles in immune regulation, inflammation, apoptosis, and tissue repair. Network analysis suggests that these compounds regulate multiple pathways, providing a mechanism for BSHX decoction to alleviate IVDD by modulating efferocytosis. Molecular docking showed strong binding affinity (binding energy\u2009&lt;\u2009\u22128.0\u2009kcal\/mol) of tanshinone II A, pinoresinol diglucoside, and psoralidin with ELANE, MPO, and RXRA. Molecular dynamics simulation of the MPO\u2013pinoresinol diglucoside complex confirmed its stability, and we revealed that pinoresinol diglucoside possesses favorable pharmacokinetic properties and safety characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>BSHX decoction may exert therapeutic effects on IVDD by targeting ELANE, MPO, and RXRA to regulate multiple pathways involved in efferocytosis.
