In the present study, J. Presl. bark essential oil and its main component cinnamaldehyde was evaluated for neuraminidase (NA), transmembrane serine protease (TMPRSS2), and angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) inhibitory activities. The chemical composition of essential oil was confirmed by both gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID), where 75.9% ()-cinnamaldehyde was the major component. The ACE2, NA, and TMPRSS2 enzyme inhibitions of bark essential oil at 20 μg/mL concentration, and ()-cinnamaldehyde (5 μg/mL) were calculated and compared in the range of 54.2-89.9%. Molecular docking results supported that ()-cinnam-aldehyde was specific to ACE2 with 89.9% inhibition. Our findings suggest further studies to confirm the effective and safe use of the essential oil as well as the ()-cinnamaldehyde.
在本研究中,对J. Presl.树皮精油及其主要成分肉桂醛的神经氨酸酶(NA)、跨膜丝氨酸蛋白酶(TMPRSS2)和血管紧张素转换酶2(ACE2)抑制活性进行了评估。通过气相色谱-质谱联用(GC/MS)和气相色谱-火焰离子化检测(GC-FID)确定了精油的化学成分,其中75.9%的()-肉桂醛是主要成分。计算并比较了树皮精油在20μg/mL浓度下以及()-肉桂醛(5μg/mL)对ACE2、NA和TMPRSS2酶的抑制作用,抑制率范围为54.2-89.9%。分子对接结果表明,()-肉桂醛对ACE2具有特异性抑制作用,抑制率为89.9%。我们的研究结果表明,需要进一步研究以确认该精油以及()-肉桂醛的有效和安全用途。
