Objective To rapidly analyze the chemical constituents of Morinda officinalis using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Orbitrap-MS/MS) and to investigate the antirheumatoid arthritis (RA) effects of its iridoid glycosides through network pharmacology.Methods Qualitative analysis of the chemical constituents in M. officinalis was conducted using UPLC-Orbitrap-MS/MS technology in both positive and negative ion modes. The characterization of chemical components was achieved through the application of UPLC-MS/MS technology, complemented by ProteoWizard and XCMS software platforms, with additional support from public databases and a proprietary traditional Chinese medicine substance library. Network target databases were systematically utilized to identify the target proteins of the detected iridoid components and the disease targets associated with RA. The DAVID database was employed for Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis of the core targets. The GeneMANIA platform was used to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of overlapping targets to screen key targets. Molecular docking technology was applied to focus on monotropein.Results A total of 370 chemical constituents were identified in M. officinalis using UPLC-Orbitrap-MS/MS technology, including four iridoid glycosides. Through systematic screening, 318 potential therapeutic targets of these iridoid glycosides and 1 001 RA-related targets were identified, with 69 overlapping targets identified. Functional enrichment analysis revealed 478 significant GO terms and 137 KEGG pathways. The results suggest that iridoid glycosides may exert anti-RA therapeutic effects through key targets including TNF, JAK2, STAT3, and PTPRC, potentially modulating critical signaling pathways such as tumor necrosis factor, PI3K-Akt, and JAK-STAT. Molecular docking analysis indicated that monotropein exhibited superior binding affinity compared to other constituents.Conclusion Iridoid glycosides of M. officinalis may exert anti-RA therapeutic effects by targeting TNF, JAK2, STAT3, and PTPRC, and by regulating signaling pathways such as PI3KAkt and JAK-STAT to promote FLS apoptosis.
