Abstract

Purslane is a traditional Chinese medicine with a long‑standing history of efficacy in the management of dermatological conditions such as vitiligo. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects on vitiligo remain unclear. Therefore, the present study explored these mechanisms using network pharmacology, molecular docking and in vitro experiments. Following the screening process, seven principal active components were identified, namely kaempferol, hesperetin, luteolin, quercetin, arachidonic acid, cycloartenol and β‑sitosterol. In addition, six key targets, namely AKT1, tumor protein p53, peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor γ (PPARG), estrogen receptor 1, prostaglandin‑endoperoxidase synthase 2 and mitogen‑activated protein kinase 1, and eight pathways in purslane‑based vitiligo treatment were identified. Network pharmacology and molecular docking demonstrated that flavonoids are the key components of purslane likely to mitigate oxidative stress damage in vitiligo. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses revealed that the phosphatidylinositol 3‑kinase (PI3K)/AKT, p53 and PPARG signaling pathways are associated with purslane components and vitiligo. In vitro experiments revealed that purslane total flavones (PTF) increased cell viability, decreased ROS levels and increased antioxidant enzyme activities in H2O2‑induced B16F10 cells. In addition, PTF activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in H2O2‑induced B16F10 cells, and the antioxidant effect of PTF was attenuated by a PI3K/AKT inhibitor. In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggest that the flavonoids of purslane contribute, at least in part, to its therapeutic effectiveness in vitiligo by mitigating oxidative stress in melanocytes through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
