Systematic investigation of the pharmacological mechanism for renal protection by the leaves of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS combined with network pharmacology analysis

Bark is the traditional medicinal component of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver (E. ulmoides). However, the demand for E. ulmoides medicinal materials seriously limits their sustainability. To alleviate resource constraints, the bioactivity of E. ulmoides leaves and its pharmacodynamic basis were investigated. In the present study, extracts of E. ulmoides leaves were found to display potential renal protective properties in rat glomerular mesangial...
