Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing rapidly in Indonesia with a projected prevalence of 16.09% in 2045, requiring local plant-based α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzyme inhibitors such as the flavonoid kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside from roselle flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.), which shows potential in silico inhibition but suboptimal ADMETox profile. This in silico computational experimental study aims to design kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside derivative compounds as effective inhibitors through computer-aided drug design, with a population of parent compounds, target enzymes, and acarbose as controls; purposive samples in the form of substituent modifications; PyRx-AutoDock Vina, SwissADME, Toxtree instruments; and molecular docking analysis techniques (ΔG, RMSD) and ADMETox prediction. The results showed a new compound with ΔGbind -5.0 kcal/mol (α-amylase, RMSD 1.538), -5.2 kcal/mol (α-glucosidase, RMSD 2.08), similarity of residues Asn A 570, Asp A 243, Val A 867, high GI absorption (molecular weight 340.41 g/mol, LogP 0.06), and low class I toxicity. In conclusion, the new compound has the potential as a safe oral antidiabetic drug candidate, in vitro/in vivo validation is recommended for further development

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder with increasing global prevalence, requiring new antidiabetic candidates to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes to control postprandial glucose. This study aims to design kaempferol derivative compounds from guava leaves (Psidium guajava L.) through Structure-Based Drug Design in silico. This type of computational experimental study uses 15 ligands as purposive samples from the population of flavonoid compounds and target enzymes. Instruments include ChemDraw, PyRx-AutoDock Vina, Swiss ADME, Toxtree, and Discovery Studio, with analysis of binding free energy (ΔG), RMSD, and ADME-toxicity prediction. The results showed that the new compound 4-(2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethoxy butyl)cyclohexan-1-ol has a ΔG of -5.5 kcal/mol (α-amylase) and -5.9 kcal/mol (α-glucosidase), RMSD <2 Å, fulfills Lipinski's rule, and has low toxicity (Low Class I). The conclusion states that this compound has the potential as a safe antidiabetic candidate with implications for the development of local flavonoid-based drugs
