PG - 6308-6329 LID - 10.1080/07391102.2021.1882340 [doi] AB - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels and can lead to serious complications such as nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this work is to identify and investigate the inhibition mechanism of natural flavonoids and phenolics acids against, the alpha-amylase (alphaA) and alpha-glucosidase (alphaG). Therefore, we used different approaches; such as conceptual DFT and pharmacophore mapping in addition to molecular mechanics, dynamics and docking simulations. Whereas, a close agreement was found out to decide that Linarin (Flavones) provides more optimized inhibition of alphaA and alphaG enzymes. Our results have shown that Linarin could be useful as preventative agent, and possibly therapeutic modality for the treatment of metabolic diseases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
