In silico inhibition mechanism of α-amylase and α-glucosidase by fragransinic acid and bellericagenin B, two compounds from Combretum fragrans F. Hoffm (Combretaceae). (PubMed, Z Naturforsch C J Biosci) - "The crystal structures of α-amylase (PDB ID: 1B2Y) and α-glucosidase (PDB ID: 2QMJ) were prepared, and acarbose served as a reference inhibitor...Key interactions included hydrogen bonds with catalytic residues (ASP443, THR205) and extensive Pi-alkyl interactions with aromatic residues (TYR299, TRP539, PHE575). All the compounds demonstrated selective binding modes, suggesting competitive inhibition. This study highlights the potential of C. fragrans triterpenoids as α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitors, providing a structural basis for further phytochemical optimization in antidiabetic drug discovery."

Bromophenol Derivatives as Multifunctional Antidiabetic Agents: Enzyme Inhibition Profiles and Induced-Fit Docking Analysis. (PubMed, Biotechnol Appl Biochem) - "Compounds 6 and 10 showed strong α-glucosidase binding through key interactions such as π-π stacking with TRP539/PHE575 and TRP406, as well as extensive hydrogen and halogen bonding with catalytic residues including TYR299, ASP203, ASP327, and ARG526. Similarly, Compounds 5 and 7 formed stable docking poses within α-amylase and aldose reductase via multiple hydrogen bonds, halogen contacts, and π-π stacking with crucial residues like ASP197, GLH233, ASN160, TRP20, and TRP219, highlighting their strong affinity and target-specific interactions."

Novel NLRP3 inhibitors mitigate acute radiation-induced lung injury by suppressing pyroptosis in alveolar epithelial cells. (PubMed, Toxicol Appl Pharmacol) - "The NLRP3 inhibitors QK-3D and QK-3E effectively alleviate RILI by suppressing AT2 pyroptosis via NLRP3/GSDMD pathway inhibition, offering a potent and safe therapeutic candidate for early intervention. This study advances pyroptosis-targeted strategies for inflammatory diseases."

Computational Exploration of Phenolic Compounds from Endophytic Fungi as α-Glucosidase Inhibitors for Diabetes Management. (PubMed, ACS Omega) - "BUT interacted specifically with both key residues, Asp443 and Phe575, critical for enzyme-inhibitor stability...These findings suggest that PCs possessing butenolide scaffolds, like BUT and ALD, hold great promise as potential AGIs for managing T2D. These findings, however, need to be further validated through in vivo experimentation."
