Abstract

Introduction: Melanogenesis, the process responsible for melanin production, is a critical determinant of skin pigmentation. Dysregulation of this process can lead to hyperpigmentation disorders.

Method: In this study, we identified a novel Reed Rhizome extract, (1'S, 2'S)-syringyl glycerol 3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (compound 5), and evaluated its anti-melanogenic potential in zebrafish models and in vitro assays. Compound 5 inhibited melanin synthesis by 36.66% ± 14.00% and tyrosinase in vivo by 48.26% ± 6.94%, surpassing the inhibitory effects of arbutin. Network pharmacological analysis revealed key targets, including HSP90AA1, HRAS, and PIK3R1, potentially involved in the anti-melanogenic effects of compound 5.

Results: Molecular docking studies supported the interactions between compound 5 and these targets. Further, gene expression analysis in zebrafish indicated that compound 5 up-regulates hsp90aa1.1, hrasa, and pik3r1, and subsequently down-regulating mitfa, tyr, and tyrp1, critical genes in melanogenesis.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that compound 5 inhibits melanin production via PI3K-Akt and Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK signaling pathways, positioning it as a promising candidate for the treatment of hyperpigmentation.

芦苇酚苷单体通过 PI3K-Akt 和 Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK 途径抑制黑色素生成

简介黑色素生成是黑色素产生的过程，是皮肤色素沉着的关键因素。这一过程的失调可导致色素沉着症：在这项研究中，我们发现了一种新型芦苇根茎提取物--(1'S, 2'S)-syringyl glycerol 3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside （化合物 5），并在斑马鱼模型和体外试验中评估了其抗黑色素生成的潜力。化合物 5 对黑色素合成的抑制率为 36.66% ± 14.00%，对体内酪氨酸酶的抑制率为 48.26% ± 6.94%，超过了熊果苷的抑制作用。网络药理学分析揭示了可能参与化合物 5 抗黑色素生成作用的关键靶点，包括 HSP90AA1、HRAS 和 PIK3R1：分子对接研究证实了化合物 5 与这些靶点之间的相互作用。此外，斑马鱼的基因表达分析表明，化合物 5 能上调 hsp90aa1.1、hrasa 和 pik3r1，随后下调黑色素生成的关键基因 mitfa、tyr 和 tyrp1：这些研究结果表明，化合物 5 可通过 PI3K-Akt 和 Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK 信号通路抑制黑色素生成，因此有望成为治疗色素沉着的候选药物。
