Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by gradual decline in cognitive function. Currently, there are no effective treatments for this condition. Medicine food homology plants have gained increasing attention as potential natural AD because of their nutritional value and therapeutic benefits. In work, we aimed to provide deeper understanding how medicine may help alleviate or potentially treat identifying key targets, pathways, small molecule compounds from 10 that play an important role process. Using network pharmacology, identified 623 common targets between the selected plants, including crucial proteins such STAT3, IL6, TNF, IL1B. Additionally, molecules were grouped into four clusters using hierarchical clustering. The ConPlex algorithm was then applied predict binding capabilities these protein targets. Cluster 3 showed superior predicted IL1B, which further validated molecular docking. Scaffold analysis revealed those with steroid-like core-comprising three fused six-membered rings one five-membered ring carbon-carbon double bond-exhibited better affinities triple-target inhibitors. Among them, MOL005439, MOL000953, MOL005438 top-performing compounds. This study highlights source active could be developed new drugs treatment.

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate a broad array of biological processes, including inflammation, lipid metabolism, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. Among the diverse family NRs, peroxisome proliferator-activated (PPARs), estrogen receptor (ER), liver X (LXR), farnesoid (FXR), retinoid (RXR), aryl hydrocarbon (AhR) have garnered significant attention for their roles in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease (AD). NRs influence pathophysiology AD through mechanisms such as modulation amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition, regulation inflammatory pathways, improvement neuronal function. However, dual role progression, where some may exacerbate while others offer therapeutic potential, presents critical challenge application treatment. This review explores functional diversity highlighting involvement AD-related processes discussing prospects NR-targeting strategies. Furthermore, key challenges, necessity precise identification beneficial detailed structural analysis molecular dynamics simulations, further investigation NR AD, tau pathology autophagy, also discussed. Collectively, continued research is essential to clarify ultimately facilitating potential use diagnosis, prevention, treatment AD.
