Inhibitory Mechanism of Camellianin A against α-Glucosidase: In Vitro and Molecular Simulation Studies.

α-Glucosidase is an important target for type II diabetes treatment, and the search for natural α-glucosidase inhibitors is currently a hot topic in functional food research. Camellianin A is the main flavonoid in the leaves of , but research on its inhibition of α-glucosidase is rarely reported. In view of this, the present study systematically investigated the inhibitory impact of camellianin A on α-glucosidase, combining the fluorescence method and molecular docking to explore their interaction, aiming to reveal the relevant inhibitory mechanism.
