The network pharmacological analysis results published by Zhu et al. showed that Thunb (family: Saururaceae) may reduce pulmonary fibrosis through a variety of signal pathways, including the PI3K/AKT pathway, MAPK pathway, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) pathway, and IL-17 signaling pathway [22]. This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and pulmonary fibrosis.
