摘要

To understand the chemical markers and their xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory activities in the pulp, shreds and inflorescence axis of A. heterophyllus, an investigation guided by UHPLC-OE-MS tracking, in vitro activity screening and molecular docking was carried out. The inflorescence axis exhibited an XO inhibition rate of 31.87%, significantly higher than that of the pulp (6.69%) and shreds (3.75%), which was closely associated with its abundant content of flavonoids. Further analysis identified flavonoids such as luteolin (Fl2), kaempferol (Fl3), quercitrin (Fl4) and 8-prenylluteone (Fl16) serve as potential contributors to the XO inhibitory activity. Molecular docking with XO revealed binding energies below − 5.0 kcal/mol for above compounds. 8-Prenylluteone (Fl16) showed the strongest interaction, with the lowest binding energy of -8.8 kcal/mol, suggesting its enhanced activity was attributed to the isopentenyl side chain attached to the flavonoid skeleton. This study provided a new perspective for discovering XO inhibitors from A. heterophyllus by-products.
