Network pharmacology and experimental analysis reveal Ethyl caffeate delays osimertinib resistance in lung cancer by suppression of MET.
Article in Cancer cell international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFei Yanning Formula (FYN) is extensively applied in clinical lung cancer treatment. However, the specific active constituents and targets of its therapeutic effects remain unclear.
objectiveThe study aims to explore the active constituents and mechanism of FYN in delaying osimertinib resistance by network pharmacology analysis and experimental verification.
methodsWe collected the chemical constituents of the FYN based on the TCMSP database and relevant literature sources. Osimertinib resistance-related targets were acquired from the GeneCards database. We systematically construct the PPI network and KEGG analysis to explore hub targets and key pathways. The main active components of FYN were identified by molecular docking. Subsequently, we conducted in vitro experiments to verify its effect on osimertinib-resistant cells in lung cancer.
resultsThe PPI network and KEGG pathways analysis revealed six key targets linked to PI3K-AKT signaling pathways (ERBB2, EGFR, MET, HSP90AA1, MCL1, and IGF1R). RT-qPCR and immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated that FYN could suppress the expression of ERBB2, MET and HSP90AA1. Molecular docking indicated that Ethyl caffeate, the primary component in FYN, had a stronger binding ability with MET. Experiments illustrated that Ethyl caffeate inhibited the migration and proliferation of osimertinib-resistant cells, promoted apoptosis, and suppressed the expression level of MET.
conclusionFYN might delay osimertinib resistance by downregulating the expression of MET, which can be attributed to its active ingredient, Ethyl caffeate.
