Understanding the mechanism of Crassocephalum crepidiodes (Benth.) S. Moore leaf antifibrotic activity using in vivo and in silico methods. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
The IC50 value for AChE inhibition by the extract was 0.113 ± 0.010 µg/mL, which is approximately 1.8-fold higher than that of the standard inhibitor, donepezil (0.061 ± 0.009 µg/mL), indicating considerable AChE inhibition. crepidiodes extract's HPLC-identified components, chlorogenic acid and ellagic acid, demonstrated high binding profile and stability with GATA2 and FOXP1 targets, supporting the in vivo antifibrotic activity of this plant. Hence, C. crepidiodes may have intricate effects on the molecular pathways linked to uterine fibroids, such as re-establishing normal ovarian morphology, hormone balance, and insulin sensitivity.
