ABSTRACT
Stenochlaena palustris (Burm.f.) Bedd., a fern species native to India, Southeast Asia, Polynesia, and Australia, has a long history of medical including as a diabetic therapy. This study aimed to isolate bioactive compounds from S. palustris ethyl acetate extract and assess their in vitro and in silico inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase and α-amylase. The successful separation of five flavonols, namely stenopalustroside A (1), tiliroside (2), kaempferol (3), quercetin (4), and rutin (5), was achieved through phytochemical analysis. The compounds exhibited a range of inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase and α-amylase, with IC50 values ranging from 40 to 250 µg/mL. Notably, the biological activities of compound 1 have been reported for the first time. Compound 4 was the most effective inhibitor of both enzymes among the isolated compounds. Studies performed in silico reveal that the interactions between amino acids in compounds 4 and 5 are remarkably comparable to those observed in the positive control. These compounds share this commonality, and as a result, they both have the potential to be active agents.
