Unearthing the Potential Therapeutic Effects of Oxyresveratrol Based on Intrinsic Links between Pharmacological Effects: Implications for the Gut–Liver–Brain Axis

Abstract

Oxyresveratrol is a stilbene compound with a simple chemical structure and various therapeutic potentials. This study summarized and analyzed the multiple pharmacological effects and mechanisms of oxyresveratrol, identifying its prominent performance in neuroprotection, hepatoprotection, and anti-inflammatory activities in the intestines. By integrating the pharmacological effects of oxyresveratrol with insights from the network pharmacology and molecular docking of its interactions with targets linked to gut–liver–brain axis disorders, it has been shown that oxyresveratrol may hold promise for the treatment of gut–liver–brain axis-related disorders. The synergistic effect between various mechanisms has inspired further research and the development of oxyresveratrol’s application value.
