Diabetes contributes to the rising global death rate. Despite scientific advancements in understanding and managing diabetes, no single therapeutic agent has been identified to effectively treat and prevent its progression. Consequently, the exploration for new antidiabetic therapeutics continues. This study aimed to investigate the antidiabetic bioactive ethyl acetate fraction of at the molecular level to understand the molecular interactions and ligand-protein binding. To do this, the fraction underwent column chromatography fractionation to yield five compounds: lupeol, stigmasterol, α-amyrin acetate, epicatechin, and epiafzelechin. These compounds were evaluated in vitro through α-glucosidase inhibition and glucose utilization assays in C2C12 muscle and H-4-11-E liver cells using standard methods. In silico analysis was conducted using molecular docking and ADMET studies. Epicatechin exhibited the most potent α-glucosidase inhibition (IC = 5.72 ± 2.7 µg/mL), while epiafzelechin stimulated superior glucose utilization in C2C12 muscle cells (33.35 ± 1.8%) and H-4-11-E liver cells (46.7 ± 1.2%) at a concentration of 250 µg/mL. The binding energies of the isolated compounds for glycogen phosphorylase (1NOI) and α-amylase (1OSE) were stronger (<-8.1) than those of the positive controls. Overall, all tested compounds exhibited characteristics indicative of their potential as antidiabetic agents; however, toxicity profiling predicted epiafzelechin and epicatechin as better alternatives. The ethyl acetate fraction and its compounds, particularly epiafzelechin, showed promise as antidiabetic agents. However, further comprehensive studies are necessary to validate these findings.
糖尿病导致全球死亡率上升。尽管在理解和管理糖尿病方面取得了科学进展,但尚未发现一种单一的治疗药物能够有效治疗和预防其进展。因此,人们继续探索新的抗糖尿病治疗方法。本研究旨在从分子水平上研究 的抗糖尿病生物活性乙酸乙酯部位,以了解分子相互作用和配体-蛋白结合。为此,该部位经过柱层析分离,得到五种化合物:羽扇豆醇、豆甾醇、乙酸α-香树脂醇、表儿茶素和表阿夫儿茶精。这些化合物通过体外α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制和葡萄糖利用试验在 C2C12 肌肉和 H-4-11-E 肝细胞中进行评估,采用标准方法。通过分子对接和 ADMET 研究进行了计算机模拟分析。表儿茶素表现出最强的α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制作用(IC = 5.72 ± 2.7 µg/mL),而表阿夫儿茶精在 250 µg/mL 浓度下在 C2C12 肌肉细胞(33.35 ± 1.8%)和 H-4-11-E 肝细胞(46.7 ± 1.2%)中刺激葡萄糖利用率更高。分离化合物对糖原磷酸化酶(1NOI)和α-淀粉酶(1OSE)的结合能(<-8.1)强于阳性对照物。总的来说,所有测试的化合物都表现出作为抗糖尿病药物的潜力特征;然而,毒性分析预测表阿夫儿茶精和表儿茶素是更好的选择。乙酸乙酯部位及其化合物,特别是表阿夫儿茶精,显示出作为抗糖尿病药物的潜力。然而,需要进一步进行全面的研究来验证这些发现。
