Systematic exploration of network pharmacology, in silico modeling and pharmacokinetic profiling for vitamin E in polycystic ovarian syndrome

Abstract

Aim: This study seeks to explore the possibility of using vitamin E to alleviate the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Methods: Various computational methods were employed, including network pharmacology utilizing a compound-target-pathway approach, Swiss ADME, OSIRIS® property explorer, pkCSM, PASS online web resource and MOLINSPIRATION® software. In addition, in silico analysis of vitamin E was performed with ten receptors. Results & discussion: Our findings highlight the diverse potential of vitamin E in alleviating PCOS. The observed influence on hormones is in line with existing PCOS theories regarding cyst development, further enhancing the therapeutic promise of vitamin E. Conclusion: In conclusion, our computational analysis indicates that vitamin E shows potential as a therapeutic agent for alleviating PCOS in adolescents.
