Anti-inflammatory effects of Chrozophora plicata uncovered using network pharmacology and in-vivo carrageenan paw edema model

Chrozophora plicata has been extensively utilized in India for the management of numerous disorders. The effective Phytoconstituents derived from the Ethyl Acetate Fraction of Chrozophora plicata [EAFCP] have been identified as Camptothecin Agathisflavone, Rutin, Procynidine B, and Apigenin. These P...

description Chrozophora plicata has been extensively utilized in India for the management of numerous disorders. The effective Phytoconstituents derived from the Ethyl Acetate Fraction of Chrozophora plicata [EAFCP] have been identified as Camptothecin Agathisflavone, Rutin, Procynidine B, and Apigenin. These Phytoconstituents have been detected in the EAFCP through qualitative analysis using LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. The anti-inflammatory properties of Chrozophora plicata are yet to be determined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to utilize a network pharmacology-based methodology to predict potential therapeutic targets of EAFCP in the setting of inflammation. The identification of inflammation targets was followed by the acquisition of verified targets of EAFCP. The key therapeutic targets of EAFCP against inflammation were found by creating a target-functional PPI network, GO studies were conducted on the core therapeutic targets in order to assess the essential signalling pathways involved in the anti-inflammatory effects of EAFCP. A total of 38 significant hub targets associated with EAFCP's anti-inflammatory effects were identified. The key proteins were retrieved for the docking investigation based on the findings, which aided in anticipating the potential interaction between components and targets. The in vivo study revealed that EAFCP had a notable efficiency in decreasing paw edema induced by carrageenan in rats. The evidence we have gathered collectively offers clarification about the anti-inflammatory activity of EAFCP, which is predominantly linked to the suppression of the Cox 1, 2 pathway. The aforementioned findings highlight potential therapeutic targets that could be utilized for the anti-inflammatory activity of EAFCP.
