Metabolic profiles and potential antioxidant mechanisms of hawk tea.

ABSTRACT: Hawk tea has received increasing attention for its unique flavor and potential health benefits, with antioxidant function being one of its significant bioactivities. However, the metabolic profiles, potential antioxidant components, and action mechanisms of different types of hawk tea are still unclear. In this study, the chemical components of five hawk teas were determined using untargeted metabolomics. Then, the potential antioxidant metabolites and their possible action mechanisms were revealed by integrating network pharmacology and molecular docking. The results showed that the metabolic profiles of various hawk teas differed significantly, but the content of flavonoids was the highest in each group. Network pharmacology analyses suggested that 11 potential antioxidant metabolites-fo
