Abstract: AIM: To investigate the anti-tumor effects of Chinese medicine Fuzhengyiliufufang (FZYLFF) and its mechanism. METHODS: Molecular docking was apllied to simulate the interactions between Chinese medicine small molecules and TNF-α, IL-2 receptors respectively, with the aid of ligand-fit module in the software package Cerius2 4.10 of Accelrys company, to predict the effects of FZYLFF on anti-tumor. RESULTS: According to the dockscore of original ligand and the receptor as threshold value, thirty-seven molecules were predicted to have good interactions with TNF-αand ten molecules with IL-2. CONCLUSION: FZYLFF is a promising Chinese medicine for tumor therapy.Its mechanism is possibly attributed to indirect inhibition by interfering inflammatory cell factors and enhancing immunoregulation.
