Investigating the Potential Anti-Alzheimer's Disease Mechanism of Marine Polyphenols: Insights from Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking.

ABSTRACT: Marine polyphenols, including eckol(EK), dieckol(DK), and 8,8'-bieckol(BK), have attracted attention as bioactive ingredients for preventing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Since AD is a multifactorial disorder, the present study aims to provide an unbiased elucidation of unexplored targets of AD mechanisms and a systematic prediction of effective preventive combinations of marine polyphenols. Based on the omics data between each compound and AD, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to predict potential hub genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were performed to provide further biological insights. In the PPI network of the top 10 hub genes, AKT1, SRC, EGFR, and ESR1 were common targets of EK and BK, whereas PTGS2 was
