Abstract Objectives In food ingestion, alpha-glucosidase (α-glucosidase) and alpha-amylase (α-amylase) are enzymes that are responsible to convert a carbohydrate into glucose. Inhibition of both enzyme activities can prolong absorption of glucose in intestine and reduce post-prandial increase of blood glucose concentration, thus, it is beneficial for type-2 diabetes treatment. Traditionally, Urena lobata (U. lobata) has been used to manage diabetes, but the scientific proof of this claim remains scarce. Therefore, the objective of this study to examine the anti-diabetic potential of U. lobata leaf extract through inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Methods U. lobata leaf extract was obtained through extraction process using ethanol and the chemical compounds in the extract were analyzed by liquid chromatography–mass spectra (LC–MS). The inhibitory activity of U. lobata on α-glucosidase and α-amylase was evaluated by in silico using docking server, whereas in vitro enzymatic assays were using para-nitrophenyl-α-d-glucopyranoside (α-NPG) and starch as substrates. The data were presented as mean ± SD and the IC50 value was calculated using SPSS. Results U. lobata leaf extract showed inhibitory activity on α-glucosidase and α-amylase with the IC50 value was 43.73 and 83.73 μg/mL, respectively, meanwhile, acarbose as standard has IC50 value at 1.14 and 0.08 μg/mL. Molecular docking study indicated β-sitosterol and stigmasterol from U. lobata extract have a huge inhibitory activity both on α-amylase and α-glucosidase based on inhibition constant (Ki) value. Conclusions Ethanolic extract of U. lobata showed inhibition activity on α-glucosidase stronger than on α-amylase as antidiabetic.

Piper sylvaticum Roxb. is traditionally used by the indigenous people of tropical and subtropical countries like Bangladesh, India, and China for relieving the common cold or a variety of chronic diseases, such as asthma, chronic coughing, piles, rheumatic pain, headaches, wounds, tuberculosis, indigestion, and dyspepsia. This study tested anxiolytic and antioxidant activities by in vivo, in vitro, and in silico experiments for the metabolites extracted (methanol) from the leaves and stems of P. sylvaticum (MEPSL and MEPSS). During the anxiolytic evaluation analyzed by elevated plus maze and hole board tests, MEPSL and MEPSS (200 and 400 mg/kg, body weight) exhibited a significant and dose-dependent reduction of anxiety-like behavior in mice. Similarly, mice treated with MEPSL and MEPSS demonstrated dose-dependent increases in locomotion and CNS simulative effects in open field test. In addition, both extracts (MEPSL and MEPSS) also showed moderate antioxidant activities in DPPH scavenging and ferric reducing power assays compared to the standard, ascorbic acid. In parallel, previously isolated bioactive compounds from this plant were documented and subjected to a molecular docking study to correlate them with the pharmacological outcomes. The selected four major phytocompounds displayed favorable binding affinities to potassium channel and xanthine oxidoreductase enzyme targets in molecular docking experiments. Overall, P. sylvaticum is bioactive, as is evident through experimental and computational analysis. Further experiments are necessary to evaluate purified novel compounds for the clinical evaluation.

In the search of potent α-amylase inhibitors, we have synthesized seventeen derivatives of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole bearing sulfonamide (1-17) and evaluated for their α-amylase inhibitory potential. All compounds display a variable degree of α-amylase activity having IC50 values ranging between 0.90 ± 0.05 to 11.20 ± 0.30 µM when compared with the standard drug acarbose having IC50 value 1.70 ± 0.10 µM. Compound 1, 2, 11, 12 and 14 having IC50 values 1.40 ± 0.10, 1.30 ± 0.05, 0.90 ± 0.05, 1.60 ± 0.05 and 1.60 ± 0.10 µM respectively were found many folds better than the standard drug acarbose. The remaining analogs showed good inhibitory potentials. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by HREI-MS, 1H and 13C-NMR. Structure activity relationship (SAR) has been recognized for all newly synthesized analogs. Through molecular docking study, binding mode of active analogs with α-amylase enzyme was confirmed.

Background: Alzheimer is a major cause of dementia in the elderly and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are used to treat the symptoms of this disease. Recently, chalcones have been reported as potential acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Materials and methods: In this study, Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction was applied to synthesize chalcones. Anti-acetylcholinesterase activity of these chalcones was determined by Ellman method. Molecular docking studies on acetylcholinesterase were performed to explain the interaction between these chalcone analogues and acetylcholinesterase active site at molecular level. Results: A total of twenty chalcones were synthesized and determined for in vitro anti-acetylcholinesterase activity. The results indicated that six compounds having IC50 value below 100 µM, three compounds having IC50 value in the range of 100 µM and 300 µM, the rest having IC50 value above 300 µM. Chalcone S17 (4’-amino-2-chlorochalcone) shows the strongest anti-acetylcholinesterase activity in the investigated group with IC50 value of 36.10 µM. In combination with the results of the in vitro anti-acetylcholinesterase activity, molecular docking study is used to explain the interaction between chalcone molecules and their active site, and the structure-activity relationship is abstracted. Conclusions: Our study indicated that the 2’-hydroxychalcones with halogen functional groups on B ring are strong acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Chalcone S17 (4’-amino-2-chlorochalcone) could be considered as a potential lead compound for the development of new acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
