“…As a result of molecular docking calculations, the activities of the molecule against various proteins are compared in Table 3. For this comparison, the docking score parameter is made according to its numerical value, which the most negative numerical value of this parameter has the highest activity [42] . Apart from the docking score parameter, many parameters are calculated, which explain the different properties of the interaction between molecule and protein.…”

[42] As a result of the calculations, the interaction of the isofraxidin molecule with the α-Gly enzyme protein is shown in Figure 4 and Table 4, the oxygen atom in the pyran-2-one ring at one end of the isofraxidin molecule forms hydrogen bonds with the GLH 203, ARG 227, and LYS 168 proteins. In addition, the same ring creates a PiÀ Pi stacking interaction with the TRP 47 protein.…”

The development of innovative pharmacological formulations for the treatment and prevention of various major diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and glaucoma, has been facilitated by some natural compounds. This study tested the inhibitory effects of isofraxidin on acetylcholinesterase, α‐glycosidase, and butyrylcholinesterase enzymes, as well as human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCA I and II) isoenzymes. Esterase activity was used to gauge Isofraxidin's ability to inhibit CA (in vitro). For the isoenzymes hCA I and hCA II, the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of isofraxidin were determined to be 67.61 and 52.42 nM, respectively. At the same manner, inhibition constant (Ki) values were determined as 12.58±0.50 and 4.41±0.35 nM, respectively. Then, IC50 value of compound for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) were calculated as 18.50 and 10.75 nM, respectively. On the other hand, IC50 and Ki values of α‐glycosidase were determined as 55.16 and 56.81±2.30 nM, respectively. Additionally, the antioxidant properties of isofraxidin were investigated using techniques like 2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 1,1‐Diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), N,N‐dimethyl‐ρ‐phenylenediamine (DMPD), cupric ions (Cu2+) reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), and iron reduction procedures. Following the graphing of the antioxidant results, IC50 values were determined. As a result, the natural phenolic molecule showed strong profiles of inhibition profile. We therefore think that these findings may pave the way for novel therapeutic development for the management of some major illnesses. Several plant‐based natural substances and extracts have gained attention in recent years as potential inhibitors of α‐glycosidase enzyme. The activities of Isofraxidin molecule with various enzyme proteins were compared. Finally, ADME/T analysis was performed to predict the movements of Isofraxidin molecules in human metabolism.

Zingiber officinale plant was examined in this study. The chemicals found in this plant were identified using the GC-MS method. The activities of the determined chemical molecules against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant were compared. We focused to determine whether Zingiber officinale plant would be an inhibitor against Omicron of SARS-CoV-2 in silico. As a result of theoretical calculations, Zingiber officinale plant was found to contain many chemicals as a result of GC-MS analysis. These chemicals were detected one by one and their activity values were calculated for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. As a result, molecules with high activity were detected. ADME/T properties were investigated in order to examine the drug properties of molecules with high activity. According to ADME/T results, these five molecules examined are suitable for use in human metabolism as drug molecules.

In diabetes mellitus, amylase and glucosidase enzymes are the primary triggers. The main function of these enzymes is to break macromolecules into simple sugar units, which directly affect blood sugar levels by increasing blood permeability. To overcome this metabolic effect, there is a need for a potent and effective inhibitor capable of suppressing the enzymatic conversion of sugar macromolecules into their smaller units. Herein, we reported the discovery of a series of substituted triazolo[4,3‐b][1,2,4]triazine derivatives as α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase inhibitors. All target compounds demonstrated significant inhibitory activities against α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase enzymes compared with acarbose as the positive control. The most potent compound 10k, 2‐[(6‐phenyl‐[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐b][1,2,4]triazin‐3‐yl)thio]‐N‐[4‐(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]acetamide, demonstrated IC50 values of 31.87 and 24.64 nM against α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase enzymes, respectively. To study their mechanism of action, kinetic studies were also done, which determined the mode of inhibition of both enzymes. Molecular docking was used to confirm the binding interactions of the most active compounds.
