Abstract

Xanthone has various biological effects, including anti-oxidase, anti-microbial, cytotoxic, and anti-cancer. α-glucosidase is an enzyme that plays an important role in converting carbohydrates into glucose, increasing blood sugar in the body to increase the risk of diabetes. In this study, we evaluated the ability of α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition of 133 compounds xanthone by molecular docking method. Finally, we obtained the 4 most potential compounds: mangostanol, isonormangostin, cudraxanthone B, and isojacareubin. Therefore, these compounds have the potential to become drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in the future and need to be studied further.
