PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND MOLECULAR DOCKING STUDIES OF ISOLATED COMPOUND FROM ZANTHOXYLUM RHETSA LINN AS A TREATMENT FOR OBESITY-RELATED DIABETES MELLITUS Authors: A. Vijay Babu , T. SUNDARRAJAN*, D. PRIYA AND M.K. KATHIRAVAN
ABSTRACT
Objective
Isolation of hydroxy citric acid from the Zanthoxylum rhetsa Linn seeds schezwan pepper and to
evaluate this Obesity-related Diabetes mellitus
Methods
The isolated compound of hydroxy citric acid obtained from Zanthoxylum rhetsa Linn seed by using
the standard method and confirmed by using chemical test and spectral studies, this isolated
compound was used to further studies like evaluation of glucose uptake assay by using cell lines like
3T3-L1 cell lines Molecular docking studied were performed on Human Aldol Reductase (PDB
3RX2), Human Mineralocorticoid receptor (PDB 3VHU) receptors using Auto dock 1.5.6.
Results
The isolated Compound identified as Hydroxy citric acid (HCA) showed significant inhibition in
obesity-related parameters like 3T3 L1 cell line study for with Insulin increases glucose uptake,
metabolism and storage in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. Glucose uptake assay study of HCA
showed that an increase in glucose uptake. Molecular Docking studies results show that the hydroxy
citric acid bind to the active site region of human aldose reductase (PDB 3RX2), Human Mineralocorticoid receptor (PDB 3VHU) enzymes with good binding energy compared to standard
compound of metformin.
Conclusion
The isolated compounds from Zanthoxylum rhetsa Linn based on results analysis of molecular
docking and cell line studies compound so it can be effectively used for the treatment of Diabeties
related obesity which is predicted based on results scores.
