Inonotus obliquus (Chaga) has shown potential anti-diabetic effects, but the bioactive compounds and molecular targets remain unclear. This study aimed to identify the bioactive components of Chaga and elucidate their anti-diabetic mechanisms using LC-MS compound screening, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and bioinformatics analyses. Chaga extract was prepared using 95% ethanol, and bioactive compounds were identified through UHPLC-QE-MS analysis. Target prediction was conducted using Swiss Target Prediction and SEA databases, while diabetes-related targets were retrieved from GeneCards. A PPI network was constructed using STRING and analyzed for GO and KEGG enrichment. Molecular docking was performed using AutoDock Vina, and gene expression was validated using the GSE7014 dataset and GEPIA database, with immune cell infiltration analyzed through CIBERSORT. UHPLC-QE-MS identified 30 bioactive compounds from Chaga, including 21 triterpenoids, four flavonoids, and two diterpenoids. Network pharmacology predicted 432 anti-diabetic targets, with 167 core targets enriched in key pathways, primarily the PI3K\/Akt signaling pathway. Molecular docking revealed strong binding affinities of five key compounds with seven core targets. Bioinformatics analysis validated significant expression changes in ESR1, IL6, and SRC, while immune cell infiltration analysis showed correlations between core targets and immune cell subtypes. This study highlights the anti-diabetic potential of Chaga by identifying key bioactive compounds and their interactions with central diabetic targets. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to validate these findings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26115202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,28]],"date-time":"2025-05-28T12:28:42Z","timestamp":1748435322000},"page":"5202","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Elucidating the Anti-Diabetic Mechanisms of Mushroom Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) by Integrating LC-MS, Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and Bioinformatics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5389-8075","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nidesha","family":"Randeni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Food Science and Technology Program, Department of Life Sciences, Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University, Zhuhai 519087, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0183-160X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinhai","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Food Science and Technology Program, Department of Life Sciences, Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University, Zhuhai 519087, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6174-0796","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yingzi","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Food Science and Technology Program, Department of Life Sciences, Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University, Zhuhai 519087, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0739-3735","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Baojun","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Food Science and Technology Program, Department of Life Sciences, Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University, Zhuhai 519087, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"International Diabetes Federation (2021).
