This integrated analysis highlights distinct metabolic pathway perturbations, specifically in pyruvate and glyoxylate/dicarboxylate metabolism, as key components of COPD pathophysiology and proposes calycosin as a mechanistically grounded candidate for modulating these pathways. This work shifts focus towards metabolic dysregulation as a central therapeutic target, providing a foundation for developing novel strategies to manage COPD beyond symptom control.
