The inhibition of α-glucosidase is a clinical strategy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and many natural plant ingredients have been reported to be effective in alleviating hyperglycemia by inhibiting α-glucosidase. In this study, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of fisetin extracted from Scop. was evaluated in vitro. The results showed that fisetin exhibited strong inhibitory activity with an IC value of 4.099 × 10 mM. Enzyme kinetic analysis revealed that fisetin is a non-competitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase, with an inhibition constant value of 0.01065 ± 0.003255 mM. Moreover, fluorescence spectrometric measurements indicated the presence of only one binding site between fisetin and α-glucosidase, with a binding constant (lgKa) of 5.896 L·mol. Further molecular docking studies were performed to evaluate the interaction of fisetin with several residues close to the inactive site of α-glucosidase. These studies showed that the structure of the complex was maintained by Pi-Sigma and Pi-Pi stacked interactions. These findings illustrate that fisetin extracted from Scop. is a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of T2DM.
α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制作用是治疗 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)的一种临床策略,许多天然植物成分已被报道通过抑制α-葡萄糖苷酶来有效缓解高血糖。在这项研究中,评估了从 Scop. 中提取的非瑟酮对α-葡萄糖苷酶的抑制活性。结果表明,非瑟酮表现出很强的抑制活性,IC 值为 4.099×10 mM。酶动力学分析表明,非瑟酮是α-葡萄糖苷酶的非竞争性抑制剂,抑制常数(Ki)值为 0.01065±0.003255 mM。此外,荧光光谱测量表明,非瑟酮与α-葡萄糖苷酶之间只有一个结合位点,结合常数(lgKa)为 5.896 L·mol。进一步进行分子对接研究以评估非瑟酮与靠近α-葡萄糖苷酶无活性部位的几个残基的相互作用。这些研究表明,通过 Pi-Sigma 和 Pi-Pi 堆积相互作用维持了复合物的结构。这些发现表明,从 Scop. 中提取的非瑟酮是治疗 T2DM 的一种很有前途的治疗剂。
