Bioactive compounds, as complementary medicine, can be the primary source of compounds with anti-inflammatory properties.\n Linum usitatissimum<\/jats:italic>\n (LiU) has antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory activity. Here, candidate hugeness was selected based on the\n in silico<\/jats:italic>\n studies, bio-cheminformatics, and bioinformatic analysis for excremental validation.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n We selected the vital genes with differential expression from the GSE26887 dataset. Based on the bioinformatics analysis, several parameters are determined to choose switchable genes involved in diabetic HF (DHF). We designed the protein\u2013protein interactions network to consider the nodes\u2019 degree, modularity, and betweenness centrality. Hence, we selected the interleukin (IL)-6 protein as a target for drug design and discovery to reduce diabetes complications in the heart. Here, H9c2 cell lines of rat embryonic cardiomyocytes induce HF using hyperglycemic and hyperlipidemic conditions. Real-time polymerase chain reaction evaluated the relative expression of SMAD7\/NRF-2\/STAT3. Furthermore, we assessed the concentration of IL-6 using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Based on the bioinformatic analysis, we found that IL-6 with the highest network parameters score might be presented as a druggable protein in the DHF. Bioactive compounds and phytochemicals have potential strategies to manage DHF. LiUs decreased the expression level of the SMAD7 (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <0.0001) and STAT3 (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001), and increased the expression level of the NRF2 (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001). In addition, LiUs significantly reduced the concentration of IL-6 (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Our data proposed that LiUs regulated inflammation and triggered the antioxidant defense in HF. Moreover, LiUs could have potential approaches to managing and preventing DHF.<\/jats:p>\n
