Inhibitory activity of xanthoangelol isolated from Ashitaba (Angelica keiskei Koidzumi) towards α-glucosidase and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV: in silico and in vitro studies.

ABSTRACT: In Indonesia, the sap of Angelica keiskei Koidzumi has been utilized traditionally as a blood-sugar reducer, nonetheless, its molecular mechanism still needs to be studied. This study aimed to isolate xanthoangelol (XA) from the yellow sap of A. keiskei planted in Mount Rinjani, Indonesia, and to investigate its mechanism by in silico and in vitro methods towards α-glucosidase and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV). The dried yellow sap was macerated using ethanol, subjected to liquid-liquid extraction using a different polarity of solvents, further gradient-eluted with column chromatography. The isolated compound, formed as yellow crystals, melting point 114-114.4 °C, λ_max 368 nm, m/z 393.20 [M + H]⁺, was confirmed as XA. Acarbose, an
