Description
Summary:Herein, we report the isolation, characterization, in silico evaluation and biological potentials of four compounds (1–4) isolated from A. Articulata. All compounds (isoleteolin (2), hyperoside (3) and quercitrin (4)) demonstrated antioxidant properties; notably, quercetin (1) exhibited exceptional free-radical scavenging activity (87.75 % DPPH and 85.75 % ABTS at 1000 µg/mL) with an IC50 value of 62 µg/mL, and 35 µg/mL, respectively against the tested radicals. The antidiabetic potential was revealed through the inhibition of α-glucosidase and α-amylase. All 4 compounds exhibited α-glucosidase activity (IC50 =32–110 µg/mL) and α-amylase (30–59 µg/mL), among them quercetin showed maximum inhibition of 89.92 % at 1000 µg/mL against α-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 32 µg/mL, and 85.98 % inhibition at 1000 µg/mL against α-amylase with an IC50 value of 30 µg/mL. Next, along with quercetin, all compounds displayed dose-dependent behaviour in tyrosinase inhibition with IC50 values ranging from 4.14–75.99 µM, whereas Lineweaver Burk and Dixon plots, displayed that quercetin with potent inhibition exhibited a competitive mode of inhibition. Further, in silico analyses validated the enzymatic binding affinity of quercetin with docking scores against α-glucosidase (-5.37 kcal/mol), α-amylase (-5.82 kcal/mol), and tyrosinase (-5.37 kcal/mol), respectively. ADMET study revealed that quercetin possesses adequate water solubility, high bioavailability, and low toxicity. These results imply that quercetin has a great deal of promise as a treatment for diabetes, hyperpigmentation disorders, and oxidative stress.
