Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the main diseases causing morbidity and mortality globally, with oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation associated with oxidative stress and atherosclerosis. Cinnamomum migao is a Miao ethnomedicine that has been shown to provide relief from CHD symptoms. A gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) was used to determine the chemical components of ten batches of migao fatty oil (MFO), yielding a total of 35 chemical constituents. The antioxidant activity of MFO in vitro was assessed using the DPPH• and ABTS• + assay methods, and both indicated good antioxidant activity. The network pharmacology predicted the active constituents of MFO and their therapeutic influence on the mechanism of oxidative damage-induced coronary heart disease (OD-CHD). Six compounds were discovered in MFO, including tau-cadinol acetate and dodecanoic acid, which may play a role in OD-CHD by acting on lipids and atherosclerosis, the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway, and other pathways. In conclusion, our study lays the foundation for investigating the use of MFO in the treatment of OD-CHD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
