Description
Summary:Mimusops elengi Linn. Secondary metabolites of flavonoids, phenolic acids, coumarin classes and stilbene were identified by UPLC/ESI-QTOF-HRMS/MS technique with negative ion detection. Major Mimusops elengi flavonoids included Myricitrin, Myricetin, and Kaempferol-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnoside. The most abundant Coumarin and phenolic acids detected in the chromatogram included aesculin and quinic acid respectively. Down regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome activation inhibits the severe inflammatory responses caused by virus infection. Studying in silicobinding affinity of flavonoids, coumarins and phenolic acid in M. elengi leaves extract against the ADP binding site of NLRP3 protein (PDB code: 6NPY) demonstrated that investigated compounds have docking scores ranged from −6.20 to −12.30 kcal/mol. The best score was achieved by kaempferol-3-O-(6-p-coumaroyl) -glucoside(Compound 9) followed by aesculin (Compound 25) while Quinic acid (Compound 20) showed the lowest affinity toward ADP-binding site of NLRP3.
