Key Points

  • The study aims to discover lignans and stilbenes from Astragalus complanatus and their role in regulating ferroptosis.
  • Utilized network pharmacology to identify potential targets for ferroptosis modulation.
  • Conducted molecular docking and dynamics simulations to investigate interactions within the SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway.
  • Focused on AKR1C1 as a potential upstream target for therapeutic intervention.
  • Identified AKR1C1 as a key target influencing ferroptosis regulation.
  • Demonstrated that lignans and stilbenes can act on the SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway.
  • Provided a scientific basis for developing neuroprotective agents from SAC.

Abstract

mRNA. Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and dynamics simulations revealed AKR1C1 as a potential upstream target modulating ferroptosis. This work provides a scientific basis for developing SAC into functional neuroprotective agents and supports its value-added utilization as an agricultural resource.
