Why the study?

Although ginseng has a role in diabetes mellitus management, the specific ginsenosides involved are not systematically defined and their targets remain incomplete.

Design

Network pharmacology and molecular docking study

Key result

Network pharmacology and molecular docking revealed that 28 ginsenosides from ginseng may manage diabetes mellitus by stably binding to core targets such as mTOR, IL-1β, and TNF-α.

Overview

Hypothesis-generating for ginsenoside targets in diabetes; leaves open clinical translation pending validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
In silico models and databases for diabetes mellitus targets and ginsenosides
I
Intervention
Ginsenosides (28 active components, notably 20(R)-Protopanaxatriol, 20(R)-Protopanaxadiol, and Ginsenoside Rg1)
O
Outcome
Identification of core targets and signaling pathways for diabetes mellitus managementsurrogate

Network pharmacology and molecular docking suggest that specific ginsenosides may manage diabetes mellitus by targeting key proteins like VEGFA and modulating insulin and AMPK signaling pathways.

Limitations

  • Lesser reported herbs not being searchable
  • Less comprehensive targets for some ingredients
  • Less software available to correspond to them
  • Ginseng polysaccharide components could not be analyzed by network pharmacology

Cite This Study

Li et al. (2023) studied Diabetes mellitus. Ginsenosides was evaluated on Binding energy and stability of ginsenosides with core targets. Network pharmacology and molecular docking revealed that 28 ginsenosides from ginseng may manage diabetes mellitus by stably binding to core targets such as mTOR, IL-1β, and TNF-α.
