The present study was therefore designed to analyzethe effects of various compounds isolated from Dryopteris cycadina against α-glucosidase includingβ-Sitosterol 1, β-Sitosterol3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside 2, 3, 5, 7-trihydroxy-2-(p-tolyl) chorman-4-one 3,Quercetin-3-0-β-D-glucopyranoside (3/→0-3///)- β-D- Quercetin -3-0- β –D-galactopyranoside 4 and5, 7, 4/-Trihydroxyflavon-3-glucopyranoid 5. The in vitro spectrophotometric method was used forthe analysis of test compounds against possible inhibition. Similarly, molecular docking studies wereperformed using the MOE software. These compounds showed concentration-dependent inhibitionon α-glucosidase, and compounds 1 (IC50: 143 ± 0.47 µM), 3 (IC50:133 ± 6.90 µM) and 5 (IC50: 146 ±1.93 µM) were more potent than the standard drug, acarbose (IC50: 290 ± 0.54 µM). Computationalstudies of these compounds strongly supported the in vitro studies and showed strong bindingreceptor sensitivity. In short, the secondary metabolites isolated from D. cycadina demonstratedpotent α-glucosidase inhibition that were supported by molecular docking with a high docking score PB MDPI YR 2019 FD 2019 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/22471 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/22471 LA eng NO Amin, S.; Ullah, B.; Ali, M.; Rauf, A.; Khan, H.; Uriarte, E.; Sobarzo-Sánchez, E.
