This study explores its potential anti\u2010inflammatory and antiarthritic effects through in silico and in vivo approaches. <jats:italic>A. paniculata<\/jats:italic> bioactives' antiarthritic mechanisms were elucidated using computational techniques, namely, gene set enrichment analysis, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using KEGG pathway analysis, PyRx, Discovery Studio, and GROMACS tools. <jats:italic>A. paniculata<\/jats:italic> hydroalcoholic extract (APE) and the ethyl acetate fraction (APF) were analyzed via LC\u2012MS for phytochemical profiling. In vivo studies assessed anti\u2010inflammatory and antiarthritic potential in carrageenan\u2010induced paw edema and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)\u2010induced arthritis models in Wistar rats. Ferulic acid, isoferulic acid, and acetyl aleuritolic acid were identified as bioactives that targeted RELA, a key NF\u2010\u03baB component. Stable interactions were confirmed through docking and MD simulations. LC\u2012MS verified these compounds in APE and APF. In vivo study revealed significant reductions in paw volume, arthritis scores, and inflammatory markers (CRP, RF, IL\u20106, and TNF\u2010\u03b1) and improved histopathological outcomes in the APE and APF\u2010treated groups compared to the CFA. These findings highlight the anti\u2010inflammatory and antiarthritic potential of <jats:italic>A. paniculata<\/jats:italic> via multi\u2010protein modulation, particularly NF\u2010\u03baB signaling, and it can be utilized as a promising therapeutic for rheumatoid arthritis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cbdv.202500428","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,19]],"date-time":"2025-05-19T11:53:58Z","timestamp":1747655638000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["In Silico and In Vivo Pharmacological Study of <i>Acmella paniculata<\/i> Flowers for Anti\u2010Inflammatory and Antiarthritic Potential"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-2315-6606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akshay","family":"Shamnewadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ICMR\u2010National Institute of Traditional Medicine  Belagavi India"},{"name":"KLE College of Pharmacy KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research  Belagavi India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5765-0424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Banappa S.","family":"Unger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICMR\u2010National Institute of Traditional Medicine  Belagavi India"},{"name":"Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR)  Ghaziabad India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Partha","family":"Palit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences Assam University (A Central University)  Silchar India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-0755-1428","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shamanand P.","family":"Mallapur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICMR\u2010National Institute of Traditional Medicine  Belagavi India"},{"name":"KLE College of Pharmacy KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research  Belagavi India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7772-4785","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vishal S.","family":"Patil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICMR\u2010National Institute of Traditional Medicine  Belagavi India"},{"name":"KLE College of Pharmacy KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research  Belagavi India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harish","family":"Darasaguppe Ramachandra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICMR\u2010National Institute of Traditional Medicine  Belagavi India"},{"name":"Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR)  Ghaziabad India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abu Md Ashif","family":"Ikbal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Drug Discovery Research Laboratory Assam University  Silchar India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sunil S.","family":"Jalalpure","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"KLE College of Pharmacy KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research  Belagavi India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000014523"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/J.BERH.2017.08.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41413\u2010018\u20100016\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina57030266"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ANTIOX10040599"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","first-page":"15","article-title":"Spilanthes acmella\u2014An Important Medicinal Plant","volume":"5","author":"Rani A.
