The purpose of this study was to determine the interaction of mangiferin which is an extract of mango leaves (Mangifera Indica L.) with -glucosidase in silico. The results showed that mangiferin as a type 2 antidiabetic compound by producing an G value between -glucosidase and mangiferin of -38.89 kcal/mol. The interaction that occurs is hydrogen bonding between mangiferin and amino acid residues Glu553, Asn551, Arg500 and Tyr460, Phe461. Keywords: α-glucosidase, in silico, mangiferin, mango leaf,]]>
