leaves and fruits have been investigated as a source of diverse bioactive metabolites. Extract and eight metabolites isolated from leaves were evaluated for their enzymatic inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase, amylase, tyrosinase, acetylcholinestrerase and butyrylcholinesterase both and . leaves' extract showed strong antioxidant activity and variable levels of inhibitions against target enzymes with a strong anti-tyrosinase activity (115.85 mg Kojic acid equivalent/g). Additionally, α-tocopherol emerged as a potent inhibitor of AChE and BChE (5.40 & 10.38 mmol galantamine equivalent/g, respectively). Which was further investigated through molecular docking and found to develop key enzymatic interactions in AChE and BChE active sites. Also, primetin showed good anti BChE (11.70 mmol galantamine equivalent/g) and anti-tyrosinase inhibition (90.06 mmol Kojic acid equivalent/g) which was also investigated by molecular docking studies. Highlights Isolation of eight bioactive constituents from leaves. assays using different enzymatic drug targets were investigated. study was performed to define compound interactions with target proteins. leaf is an excellent source of anti-AChE and antityrosinase bioactives.
叶子和果实已被研究为多种生物活性代谢物的来源。从叶子中提取并分离出的八种代谢产物,评估了它们对α-葡萄糖苷酶、淀粉酶、酪氨酸酶、乙酰胆碱酯酶和丁酰胆碱酯酶的抑制活性,包括 和 。叶子的提取物表现出强烈的抗氧化活性,对目标酶具有不同程度的抑制作用,具有很强的酪氨酸酶抑制活性(115.85mg 曲酸当量/g)。此外,α-生育酚是 AChE 和 BChE 的有效抑制剂(分别为 5.40 和 10.38mmol 加兰他敏当量/g)。通过分子对接进一步研究发现,它在 AChE 和 BChE 的活性部位发展出关键的酶相互作用。此外,primetin 对 BChE(11.70mmol 加兰他敏当量/g)和酪氨酸酶抑制(90.06mmol 曲酸当量/g)具有良好的抑制作用,这一点也通过分子对接研究进行了研究。亮点 从 叶子中分离出八种生物活性成分。 研究了使用不同酶药物靶点的 测定法。 进行了研究以确定化合物与靶蛋白的相互作用。 叶子是抗 AChE 和抗酪氨酸酶生物活性物质的极好来源。
