Objectives Cuscuta chinensis Lam.(C. chinensis) is a common medicinal plant, rich in bioactive compounds. However, the anti-lung cancer active compounds of C. chinensis, and related molecular mechanisms are not clear yet. Methods The peaks CLW fingerprinting were analyzed using LC/MS/QTOF. Total phenolic flavonoid contents evaluated utilizing Foline-Ciocalteu colorimetric aluminum chloride assay. Cytotoxicity assay was performed for cell viability vitro. Gene expression profiles determined RNA-seq analysis. potential targets screened silico. A herb-comound-target-disease network constructed to prediction key targets. Docking analysis with Autodock Vina 1.1.2. Toxicity assessment conducted ToxTree v3.1.0. Results 32 tentatively identified, main chemical ingredients predicted as flavonoids, glycosidic acids, lignans, phenylpropanoids, acids resin glycosides, further quantified its phenolics flavonoids. inhibited LLC cells time dose dependent manner. Moreover, revealed 79 genes significantly altered under treatment. In addition, Ontology biological processes (GOBP) suggested that these associated regulation protein function proliferation. Furthermore, silico screening results identified 33 chinensis. Besides, combined pharmacology effectively 8 highly Bone morphogenetic 1 (BMP1), Cyclin C (CCNC) Heat shock 90β1 (HSP90B1) lung cancer. Finally, docking toxicity demonstrated medioresinol, (-)-pinoresinol, gitoxigenin n-trans-feruloyltyramine shows strong binding affinity BMP1B, CCNC HSP90B1, non-toxic. Conclusions This suggesting may provides new promising lead
