Abstract: AIM: To study the effect of Qingre Xiaozheng drink (QRXZD)on tumor growth and its mechanism.METHODS: Molecular docking serves as a method to simulate the interactions of Chinese medicine small molecules and TNF-α, Bcl-xl and CDK2 receptors by ligand-fit module of the software package Cerius2 4.10 made by Accelrys company, and we may predict QRXZD on anti-tumor mechanism.RESULTS: Fifteen molecules were shown to be better interactions with Bcl-xl than an original ligand, and thirty molecules were observed to be better interactions with TNF-αthan an original ligand. The number of molecule interacting with CDK2 was twenty three.Its mechanism could be direct toxicity for tumor cells to induce apoptosis;Simultaneously the mechanism might interfere the activity of CDK2 to stop tumor cell going ahead from G1 period to S period.CONCLUSION: Molecular docking method is simple, speedy and strong scientificness, which can be used to study the mechanism of the Chinese medicine.
