Abstract

Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King.) is one of the plants used as an antidiabetic agent. 96% ethanol extract of S. macrophylla stem bark can inhibit the α-glucosidase enzyme. Methanol and aqueous extracts of S. macrophylla stem bark can reduce rat blood glucose levels induced by streptozotocin. Molecular docking is one of the most widely used structural-based drug design strategies due to its wide application in the analysis of binding energy and molecular interactions between drug compounds and receptors. This study aims to identify the compounds in the stem bark of S. macrophylla and analyze the molecular anchoring of the compounds produced by the aid. The research was carried out by means of the water fraction of the stem bark of S. macrophylla and was purified by column chromatography. Fraction 2 was identified by LCMS-MS. Molecular docking using AutoDock 4.2.6. The results of Fraction 2 showed the presence of catechins, evodionol, swietemacrophyllanin, swietenitin K and β-sitosterol. The results of an in-silico study showed that swietemacrophyllanin provided a better affinity than acarbose with a binding energy value of -8.57 kcal/mol and an inhibition constant of 0.52 µM. Forms hydrogen bonds with catalytic residues (Glu277 and Asp352) from the active site of the α-glucosidase enzyme. Swietemacrophyllanin has potential as an antidiabetic agent

Abstract

Excessive sun exposure can damage the skin, highlighting the need for effective natural sunscreens. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical profile, antioxidant activity, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and sun protection factor (SPF) of five Annonaceae species. Methanolic leaf extracts of Annona muricata (soursop), Annona squamosa (sugar apple), Cananga odorata (cananga), Annona reticulata (nona), and Monoon longifolium (glodokan tiang) were analyzed. Phytochemical screening was performed to identify secondary metabolites. Antioxidant activity was determined using the DPPH radical scavenging assay, while TPC and TFC were measured spectrophotometrically. SPF values were calculated using the Mansur method. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids, and phenolics in all extracts, with cananga leaves additionally containing alkaloids, coumarins, and essential oils. The DPPH assay showed antioxidant activity with IC₅₀ values ranging from 12.89–228.98 ppm, classified from very strong to weak. TPC and TFC values ranged from 12.33–31.75 mg GAE/g extract and 8.83–28.19 mg QE/g extract, respectively. SPF values ranged from 19.32–35.03, indicating all extracts fall under the ultra-protection category, with soursop leaf extract exhibiting the highest SPF. This study highlights the potential of Annonaceae leaf extracts, particularly A. muricata, as promising natural antioxidant and photoprotective agents due to their high polyphenolic and flavonoid content.
