BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus affects
glucose metabolism resulting in hyperglycemia.
The bark of Cinnamomum burmannii (CB) and
the leaves of Aquilaria malaccensis (AM) are believed to
be effective for diabetes treatment. This study evaluated
the synergistic effect of CB and AM extracts, the extracts'
phytochemical profiles, and interaction between CB and
AM metabolites with a-glucosidase through molecular
docking.
METHODS: The dried material was macerated with
ethanol and then tested for a-amylase and a-glucosidase
inhibitory activities and glucose diffusion inhibition in
varied combination proportions. The extract fingerprinting
was performed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer
followed by thin layer chromatography to determine the
class of secondary metabolite in the extracts. Human
maltase-glucoamylase (MGAM) receptor, ligands from
acarbose and selected metabolites of CB and AM were
studied in silico using UCSF Chimera, AutoDockTools,
Autodock Vina Wizard (PyRx), and Biovia Discovery
Studio software.
RESULTS: The best ratio of CB:AM extracts for a-amylase
and a-glucosidase inhibition was 0.75:0.25 mg/mL, with
inhibitory activities of 86.36 and 96.38 %, respectively. The
best glucose diffusion inhibition was achieved at a ratio of
0.5:0.5 mg/mL CB and AM extracts. The b-caryophyllene of
CB and palustrol of AM had a significantly higher binding
affinity of -10.7 kcal/mol and -10.2 kcal/mol, respectively
than acarbose, which had a binding affinity of -8.1 kcal/mol.
CONCLUSION: A correct ratio of CB to AM extracts
suppresses the activity of diabetes-related enzymes more
efficiently. The in silico study suggested that the presence of
b-caryophyllene in CB and palustrol in AM supported the
synergistic activity.
