Abstract
Sterubin (7-O-Methyleriodicytol), a flavanone compound isolated from the leaves of Eriodicyton californicum and Eriodicyton angustifolium, has neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Therefore, it is of interest to identify the potential targets for Alzheimer disease using network pharmacology. We report 25 overlapping targets among 100 potential targets of sterubin and 673 known targets of Alzheimer. APP, BACE-1, and AChE were among the ten hub targets enriched in biological processes and pathways relevant to Alzheimer's disease. Subsequent, molecular docking analysis shows that sterubin have optimal binding features with these hub gene targets for further consideration.
