Unlocking the potential of luteolin: A natural migraine management approach through network pharmacology.

J Tradit Complement Med

November 2024

Department of Pharmacology, SRM College of Pharmacy, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur, 603 203, Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, India.

Background: Luteolin, a natural flavonoid, exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has been investigated for potential health benefits. Its focus on migraine management arises from its ability to mitigate neuroinflammation, a key factor in migraine attacks.

Methods: pkCSM and Swiss ADME were employed to assess luteolin's pharmacokinetic properties, revealing challenges such as low water solubility and limited skin permeability.
