Yinchen (YC), the dried aerial parts of the medicinal plant Artemisia capillaris Thunb. (family Asteraceae), is primarily distributed across the Asia-Pacific Region. Although YC exhibits clinically validated efficacy against immune hemolytic disorders, its mechanistic underpinnings remain insufficiently elucidated in pharmacological research. This study investigates the potential targets and mechanisms of YC in treating immune hemolysis based on network pharmacology and bioinformatic analysis. Additionally, it aims to verify quercetin's anti-complement activity and inhibition of IL-6-induced STAT3 activation, a key component of YC, through in vitro experiments, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. 13 active components in YC with 143 putative targets were identified by Network pharmacology. Quercetin, beta-sitosterol, and isorhamnetin were top-ranked by target count. 1231 gene targets related to immune hemolysis, with 60 overlapping targets mapping to both YC and the disease were identified. Quercetin exhibited inhibitory activity against both classical and alternative complement pathways, with IC50 values of 528.3 mg/L and 212.5 mg/L, respectively. Quercetin (80 μM) suppressed IL-6-induced IgG secretion and attenuated STAT3 signaling in murine splenic lymphocytes, as evidenced by decreased levels of STAT3 mRNA expression, STAT3 and phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3) proteins. Molecular docking analysis revealed quercetin's putative binding affinity to key complement system components (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C8, C9, Factor B) and IL-6, suggesting a dual mechanism of complement pathway modulation and IL-6/IL-6R interaction blockade. Simulation studies confirmed the stable interaction between C1s, C3, C5 and IL-6 and quercetin. Quercetin, a key component of Yinchen used in treating immune hemolysis, demonstrates anti-complement activity and can inhibit IL-6-induced STAT3 activation in vitro.
