OBJECTIVE To screen t he active component s of Euchresta japonica against nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS Main chemical components of E. japonica were selected ，and their target proteins were predicted in Swiss Target Prediction database. The target proteins of nasopharyngeal cancer were obtained with GeneCards database. Protein-protein interaction（PPI）network was established after the target of chemical components of E. japonica was intersected with the target of nasopharyngeal carcinoma ；PPI network was analyzed by using Cytoscape 3.6.1 software，and the potential active components and key targets of E. japonica against nasopharyngeal carcinoma were screened. The molecular docking technology was used to evaluate binding ability of active component-key target ；active components of E. japonica against nasopharyngeal carcinoma were screened. The anti-nasopharyngeal cancer effect of potential active components of E. japonica was verified by cell proliferation experiment. RESULTS Seven potential active components （tonkinensisol，quercetin，sophoranone，matrine，genistein，coumarin，maackiain） and 10 core targets （SRC，PIK3CA，MAPK1，MAPK3，AKT1，MAPK8，MAP2K1，PTK2，EGFR，JAK3）of E. japonica against nasopharyngeal carcinoma were screened. The molecular docking results showed that above potential active components all possessed certain anti-nasopharyngeal cancer effect. Cell proliferation activity test showed that tonkinensisol ，sophoranone and maackiain had a very significant inhibitory activity on nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE- 1. CONCLUSIONS Tonkinensisol， sophoranone and maackiain might be the main active components of E. japonica against nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
