Abstract
In this study, network pharmacology was developed to study the mechanism of fisetin in the treatment of myocardial hypertrophy. A total of 41 common targets were obtained through multi-database screening, and the core targets were determined by PPI network analysis. KEGG enrichment suggested that the effects of fisetin were mainly related to PI3K-AKT and apoptotic pathways. Western blot experiments confirmed that fisetin inhibited endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis by regulating the expression of PI3K, AKT, GRP78, CHOP and Bax proteins. Our results provide promising guidance for the subsequent clinical application of fisetin in the treatment of myocardial hypertrophy.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
