ABSTRACT
Five active compounds, daidzein, luteolin, alpinumisoflavone (AI), 6,8-diprenylgenistein (DG), and warangalone (WA), were identified from the fruits of Maclura tricuspidata via LC-Q/TOF-MS. WA and DG were shown to reverse the high glucose (HG)-induced injury in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), indicating their potential protective effects in alleviating diabetic symptoms. Network pharmacology was conducted to reveal the potential mechanisms of action of the compounds, and Hsp90α (degree 47), Src (degree 49), Akt (degree 69) and p53 (degree 60) were shown as the core targets related to antidiabetic properties. Further experimental verification suggested that the compounds could enhance phosphorylation of Src and Akt, increase p53 expression act as Hsp90 inhibitors, and protect against HG induced endothelial dysfunction. Our findings will provide a comprehensive understanding of the active substances of M. tricuspidata, which will be helpful for their utilisation.
