Currently, there is no medication specifically approved for the treatment of this condition. Therefore, the identification of new pharmacological targets may offer opportunities for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. The current in silico study investigated the active ingredients and the mode of action of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (CRP) in addressing sarcopenia. The active ingredients of CRP and the potential targets of CRP and sarcopenia were determined using various databases. The STRING platform was utilized to construct a protein\u2013protein interaction network, and the key intersecting targets were enriched through the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) analyses. Molecular docking was used to determine the binding interactions of the active ingredients with the hub targets. The binding affinities obtained from molecular docking were subsequently validated through molecular dynamics simulation analyses. Five active ingredients and 45 key intersecting targets between CRP and sarcopenia were identified. AKT1, IL6, TP53, MMP9, ESR1, NFKB1, MTOR, IGF1R, ALB, and NFE2L2 were identified as the hub targets with the highest degree node in the protein\u2013protein interaction network. The results indicated that the targets were mainly enriched in PIK3-AKT, HIF-1, and longevity-regulating pathways. The active ingredients showed a greater interaction affinity with the hub targets, as indicated by the results of molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Our findings suggest that the active ingredients of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, particularly Sitosterol and Hesperetin, have the potential to improve sarcopenia by interacting with AKT1 and MTOR proteins through the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms252111451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,25]],"date-time":"2024-10-25T03:46:04Z","timestamp":1729827964000},"page":"11451","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Insights into the Therapeutic Potential of Active Ingredients of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium in Combatting Sarcopenia: An In Silico Approach"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-3083-5482","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amin","family":"Ullah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7306-9971","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yacong","family":"Bo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiangtao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Nutritional Ecology and Centre for Sport Nutrition and Health, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinjie","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Nutritional Ecology and Centre for Sport Nutrition and Health, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pipasha","family":"Khatun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Quanjun","family":"Lyu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guangning","family":"Kou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"},{"name":"Centre for Nutritional Ecology and Centre for Sport Nutrition and Health, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ran, X., Zhai, J., Xu, M., Zhu, X., Ullah, A., and Lyu, Q.
