Abstract Background and aims: Acute kidney injury (AKI) due to renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality, with no renoprotective drug available. Previous research focused on single drug targets, yet this approach has not reached translational success. Given the complexity of this condition, we aimed to identify a disease module and apply a multitarget network pharmacology approach. Methods: Identification of a disease module with potential drug targets was performed utilizing Disease Module Detection algorithm using NADPH oxidases (NOXs) as seeds. We then assessed the protective effect of a multitarget network pharmacology targeting the identified module in a rat model of RIRI. Rats were divided into five groups; sham, RIRI, and RIRI treated with setanaxib (NOX inhibitor, 10 mg/kg), etanercept (TNF-α inhibitor, 10 mg/kg), and setanaxib and etanercept (5 mg/kg each). Kidney functions, histopathological changes and oxidative stress markers (MDA and reduced GSH) were assessed. Immunohistochemistry of inflammatory (TNF-α, NF-κB) apoptotic (cCasp-3, Bax/Bcl 2), fibrotic (α-SMA) and proteolysis (MMP-9) markers was performed. Results: Our in-silico analysis yielded a disease module with TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1A) as the closest target to both NOX1 and NOX2. Targeting this module by a low-dose combination of setanaxib, and etanercept, resulted in a synergistic effect and ameliorated ischemic AKI in rats. This was evidenced by improved kidney function and reduced expression of inflammatory, apoptotic, proteolytic and fibrotic markers. Conclusions: Our findings show that applying a multitarget network pharmacology approach allows synergistic renoprotective effect in ischemic AKI and might pave the way towards translational success.
