Graveoline exhibits various biological activities. However, only limited studies have focused on its hepatoprotective properties. This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective activities of graveoline, a minor 2-phenylquinolin-4-one alkaloid isolated from Ruta graveolens L., in a liver injury model in vitro and in vivo. A network pharmacology approach was used to investigate the potential signaling pathway associated with the hepatoprotective activity of graveoline. Subsequently, biological experiments were conducted to validate the findings. Topological analysis of the KEGG pathway enrichment revealed that graveoline mediates its hepatoprotective activity through genes associated with the hepatitis B viral infection pathway. Biological experiments demonstrated that graveoline effectively reduced the levels of alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced HepG2 cells. Graveoline exerted antihepatitic activity by inhibiting the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and elevated the anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, graveoline exerted its hepatoprotective activity by inhibiting JAK1 and STAT3 phosphorylation both in vitro and in vivo. In summary, graveoline can attenuate acute liver injury by inhibiting the TNF-α inflammasome, activating IL-4 and IL-10, and suppressing the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway. This study sheds light on the potential of graveoline as a promising therapeutic agent for treating liver injury.
