Network pharmacology and experimental validation to identify the potential mechanism of Hedyotis diffusa Willd against rheumatoid arthritis

Hui Deng et al.

Summary: In this study, a network pharmacology approach, microarray data analysis, and molecular docking were used to predict the key active ingredients and mechanisms of Hedyotis diffusa Willd (HDW) against rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The results showed that HDW contains 11 active ingredients and 180 potential anti-RA targets. The study also identified stigmasterol, beta-sitosterol, quercetin, kaempferol, and 2-methoxy-3-methyl-9,10-anthraquinone as key components for RA treatment. Pathway analysis revealed that the potential targets were mainly related to inflammatory pathways such as AGE-RAGE, TNF, IL17, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways. Furthermore, RELA, TNF, IL6, TP53, MAPK1, AKT1, IL10, and ESR1 were identified as hub targets for HDW in treating RA. Molecular docking confirmed the binding of the key components and the hub targets. In vitro experiments demonstrated that HDW inhibits cell proliferation in MH7A cells and affects hub targets through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This study provides evidence for the clinical effect of HDW on RA and lays a foundation for further investigation into its active ingredients and mechanisms against RA.

Evaluation of the Phytochemistry-Therapeutic Activity Relationship for Grape Seeds Oil

Manuel Alexandru Gitea et al.

Summary: Seeds from grapes are rich in biologically active compounds and can be used as a primary platform for natural extracts, innovative foods, medicines, and cosmetics. This paper focuses on the phytochemical composition, manufacturing processes, and health benefits of various grape seed oils extracted using different methods. However, the results vary across studies due to different factors and measurement units, making the communication of results challenging. The main topics covered are grape seed oil's lipophilic fatty acids, tocopherols, and phytosterols. In addition, affordable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly extraction methods should be developed to improve the oil's quality and biological activity for the management of various diseases.

Nanomedical approaches in the realm of rheumatoid arthritis

Andrei-Flavius Radu et al.

Summary: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder characterized by bone and cartilage damage in the synovium, resulting in joint impairment and increased mortality rate. Despite recent improvements in RA treatment, only a small fraction of patients achieve clinical remission without ongoing immunosuppressive drugs. Research on RA nano therapies has increased due to their potential advantages over traditional systemic treatments. Nanotherapeutic techniques, specifically drug delivery nano systems, offer new approaches to overcome the limitations of existing treatments by precisely delivering therapeutic drugs to affected sites.
