The study aimed to explore the active composition and mechanism of the Chaiqin Qingning capsule (CQQN) against pharyngitis based on the network pharmacology and through using a pharyngitis rat model. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. The active ingredients and targets of CQQN were queried using the TCMSP database. Disease\u2010related target genes were queried in the DrugBank, GeneCards, OMIM, and DisGeNEt databases using \u201cpharyngitis\u201d as the search term. The STRING database was used to establish a protein\u2010protein interaction (PPI) network. GO function enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were performed to identify active components and key targets. Cytoscape software (version 3.7.2) was used to construct an active component\/target gene\/enrichment pathway network. AutoDock software was used to select the best binding target for molecular docking. The effect of CQQN was verified in the pharyngitis rats. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Network pharmacology showed 30 active compounds in CQQN with 240 targets, including 54 for the treatment of pharyngitis. Potential active ingredients included quercetin, kaempferol, stigmasterol, saikosaponin D, and isorhamnetin. The key targets involved were AKT1, TNF, IL\u20106, and IL\u20101<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>. Signaling pathways included virus infection, TNF, IL\u201017, and cancer pathways. The molecular docking results showed that the critical components in CQQN had good potential for binding to key target genes. Animal experiments showed that CQQN could significantly reduce the expression of TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>, IL\u20101<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>, IL\u20106, and IL\u201017 in the serum of rats with pharyngitis (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). Hematoxylin and eosin staining showed that the inflammatory state of pharyngeal tissue in rats was significantly reduced compared to that in the model group. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. CQQN can improve pharyngitis by regulating the TNF and IL\u201017 signaling pathways. The study makes a positive exploration and provides a new idea for a more comprehensive and in\u2010depth excavation of CQQN with an intervention effect on pharyngitis and other upper respiratory diseases in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/5616942","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,29]],"date-time":"2022-04-29T01:20:48Z","timestamp":1651195248000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Network
