ABSTRACT:
Dietary intervention, particularly legumes consumption, plays a significant role in promoting health status in diabetes mellitus management. As poorly known legumes, Dolichos lablab (DL) is possibly to be one of the dietary options for diabetes intervention. However, the predictive or precise mechanism of DL’s anti-diabetic activity remains inconclusive. This study aimed to determine the nutritional and phytochemical content in addition to anti-diabetic properties of DL. Total protein, crude fat, crude fibers, and gross energy were evaluated, while anti-diabetic properties were predicted using molecular docking according to identified compound from Liquid Chromatography-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS) analysis. Screened compound from molecular docking then passed to physicochemical properties and bioactivity prediction using Swiss-ADME and molinspiration, separately. The result showed that DL has high protein fiber and gross energy content with a lower fat percentage. Additionally, DL has numerous phenolic acid and flavonoid compounds according to LC-HRMS analysis. From the docking analysis, fourteen compounds have substantial probability to give the beneficial effect of glucose metabolism regulator and insulin signaling repairers through inhibition of ɑ-amylase, DPP4, and PTP1B. Finally, from the physicochemical properties and bioactivity estimations, 19-Norandrostenedione, 19-Nortestosterone, Icariside B1, Ilicic Acid, and Psilostachyin B have excellent pharmacokinetic properties along with considerable biological activity as enzyme inhibitors and nuclear receptor ligands. In conclusion, nutritional evaluation and molecular docking analysis revealed that DL might serve as a suitable dietary intervention for diabetes mellitus management.
KEYWORDS: ɑ-Amylase, Dolichos lablab, Diabetes mellitus, DPP4, PTP1B.
INTRODUCTION:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) has recognized as a global health problem with increasing cases in forthcoming years. A total of 6.28% of the global populations were affected by DM, contributing to the ninth cause of mortality worldwide1. Further, it is estimated that around 642 million people will suffer from DM in 20402. With those conditions, health management and prevention play a vital role in delaying DM development day by day.
Health management has been applied to halt DM's progression, including lifestyle changes and dietary intervention3-5. A few nutritional compositions, particularly natural products6–8, have been suggested for people with DM, including legumes consumption9. One of the high potential legumes for dietary intake in DM conditions is Dolichos lablab (DL). With the high content of fibres and other nutritional compositions, DL has a good potential as a dietary supplement for DM10. Previous studies have reported DL's efficacy in regulating glycaemic levels, despite the precise mechanism still unresolved11,12.
Since metabolic disease like DM involved many proteins for its progression, targeting specific proteins becomes the promising way to develop anti-diabetic drugs13. Altering glucose metabolism and insulin signalling can turn into an effective way of controlling DM13,14. As previously described, ɑ-amylase plays a role in starch metabolism and contributes to plasma glucose enhancement15. On the other hand, DPP4 and PTP1B orchestrate insulin signalling, mainly involved in insulin sensitization, secretion, and post-prandial blood glucose levels16,17. Some studies have been employed to inhibit those proteins for achieving average blood glucose concentration and improving insulin performance18–20. Thus, targeting ɑ-amylase, DPP4, and PTP1B have favourable results in preventing DM advancement21–25. Nevertheless, there were no studies for understanding the role of bioactive compounds in DL to inhibit those proteins and regulate DM conditions. Therefore, this study will discover the potential bioactivity of DL as dietary intervention for DM based on nutritional and phytochemical contents using computational approach.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Plant Samples and Extraction:
Sample was obtained from Madura Island, Indonesia. Detailed characteristics of the sample as explained in previous work26. Bean was ground prior to the extraction process. Extraction was carried out by soaking in 96% ethanol in a 1:3 ratio (weight/volume) for 24 hours. After submerging, the solvent was evaporated and freeze-dried to obtain DL extract.
Total Protein, Crude Fat, Crude Fiber, and Gross Energy Determination:
Determination of total protein, crude fat, and crude fiber was performed according to a previously described method27. Gross energy was measured using IKA C2000 Calorimeter System (IKA Works, Germany) following the manufacturer's protocol.
Bioactive Metabolites Identification:
Thermo Scientific Dionex Ultimate 3,000 RSLCnano Liquid Chromatography (LC) linked with Thermo Scientific Q Exactive High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) was employed to identify the presence of bioactive compound in DL extract. Detailed protocols for chromatography as mentioned in earlier work 28. Total ionic chromatograms then analyzed using Compound Discoverer and matched with mzCloud in the MS/MS Library. Compound with match score higher or equal with 80 then selected for molecular docking simulations as the ligands.
Data Mining of Protein and Ligand Structures:
Three-dimensional (3D) structures of protein were retrieved from Protein Data Bank (PDB; https://www.rcsb.org/), while 3D ligand structures were obtained from PubChem database (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). In detail, the structures of protein used in this study are ɑ-amylase (PDB ID: 1HNY), DPP4 (PDB ID: 5Y7K), and PTP1B (PDB ID: 1BZC). The list of phytochemicals and their identity (PubChem CID) as shown in table 228.
Binding Energy Calculations:
AutoDock Vina integrated into PyRx software was employed for molecular docking simulations29,30. Water molecules and the previous-attached ligand in each 3D protein structure were removed prior to the docking process. Protein structures were set as a rigid molecule, while the phytochemicals as the ligands were set as a flexible molecule. Blind docking was applied with a maximum grid setting for searching binding sites.
Data Analysis:
Complex with binding energy lower or equal with -7 kcal/mol was directed into further investigation for amino acid-ligand interaction. Interacted residues in each complex and visualization were analyzed using Discovery Studio 2019 to determine the chemistry of formed interaction.
Drug-Likeness Evaluation and Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR):
The drug-likeness characteristics was determined by Swiss-ADME webserver31, while Molinspiration (https://www.molinspiration.com/cgi-bin/properties) was used to determine SAR of selected compounds based on the molecular docking result.
RESULT:
Nutritional Values of DL:
The protein was the higher constituent from the analyzed nutritional contents, followed by crude fibers, while fat content has the smallest portion. Protein constitutes 24.91±0.08% of the total contents, while crude fiber and fat have 7.03±0.02% and 0.36±0.01%, respectively. Also, gross energy measurement showed that DL has a high energy source for daily energy uptake (table 1).

Bioactive Compounds in DL:
Phenolic acid and flavonoid were the most abundance compound in DL (table 2). Pipecolic acid, trans-3-Indoleacrylic acid, caffeine, choline, and trigonelline were major constituent according to peak area. Some amino acids like arginine and histidine also found since DL is a legumes species. In addition, a common isoflavones in legumes, daidzein, also identified in DL extract. From the screening revealed that DL has diverse phytochemical compounds with possible potential to contribute in biological mechanism, particularly for health purposes. The identified compounds from this step then continued for the screening of anti-diabetic

Potential Mechanism of Phytochemicals from DL in Diabetic Pathway:
Eighteen compounds could interact with a minimum of one of the target proteins at low binding energy. Ursolic acid, rutin, and 19-Nortestosterone are the compounds with the lowest binding energy for ɑ-Amylase, DPP4, and PTP1B, respectively (table 3). Unfortunately, not all of the screened compounds have good potential for protein target inhibitors. Protein-ligand structure analysis revealed that only 14 compounds could interact directly with several essential residues in each targeted protein (figure 1-3).

Ursolic Acid, Oleanolic Acid, Isoquercetin, Psilostachyin B, Rutin, 9-cis-Retinal, and Icariside B1 were the compounds that been able to bind directly to the active sites of ɑ-Amylase. Those compounds could interact with the ɑ-Amylase mostly at HIS305 by hydrophobic or hydrogen bond interaction. Some compounds also bind with other key residues in the active sites, including ASP197, GLU233, and ASP300. Rutin and oleanolic acid are the compounds with the most binding sites in the active sites of ɑ-Amylase with three different interaction at the key residues (figure 1).
Figure 1. Structural orientation and residues interaction of ɑ-amylase along with ursolic acid (A, H), oleanolic acid (B, I), isoquercetin (C, J), psilotachyin B (D, K), rutin (E, L), 9cis-retinal (F, M), and icariside B1 (G, N).
Different from the ɑ-Amylase, DPP4 has higher selectivity to bind with the analyzed compounds. There were three compounds bound to DPP4 at the active sites, i.e., Isoquercetin, Rutin, and Icariside B1. GLU205, GLU206, TYR547, SER630, HIS740 were the active sites of DPP4, which interacted with all of those three compounds. Interestingly, Isoquercetin and Rutin have similar binding sites with one additional interaction of catalytic residues at ARG125 (figure 2).

Seven compounds could bind with the PTP1B at its catalytic sites. 19-Nortestosterone, Ilicic Acid, 19-Norandrostenedione, Scopoletin, Coumaric Acid, Trans-3-Indoleacrylic Acid, and Daidzein were the compounds that have interaction with the catalytic sites of PTP1B. Remarkably, Scopoletin and Trans-3-Indoleacrylic Acid were the compounds that could interact with more catalytic residues. In contrast, Daidzein was the compound that has less interaction with catalytic residues. In general, PHE182, ALA217, and ARG221 are the most preferred residues of those compounds (figure 3).

Drug Likeness Characteristics of Screened Phytochemicals:
Drug-likeness properties and SAR were predicted using Swiss-ADME webserver and molinspiration, respectively. Six criteria, including lipophilicity, molecular size, polarity, insolubility, unsaturation, and flexibility, were employed to predict the drug-likeness properties of each screened compound. The pink areas represent the most favorable criterias with high similarity as the drug. Accordingly, 19-Norandrostenedione, 19-Nortestosterone, Icariside B1, Ilicic Acid, and Psilostachyin B were the compounds with the most resemblance with drug (figure 4A). Further, SAR prediction discovered that nine out of fourteen compounds have potential as both enzyme inhibitors and nuclear receptor ligands (figure 4B).

DISCUSSION:
Natively grown in Africa and Indian subcontinent, DL has been labeled as underutilized crops due to its limited global market potential and unpopular nutritional sources 10. Nevertheless, DL has been used in different regions of the world as human food and animal feed32. Consisting of adequate main macronutrients needed for daily food intake, DL has promising potential as nutritional therapy for several metabolic diseases including DM10. Diet management has been suggested for diabetic patients to maintain plasma glycemic levels33,34. Consuming high fiber and protein content can increase insulin response and prevent plasma glycemic augmentation33,35–37. Also, low-fat nutritional sources help fulfill energy requirement and prevent cardiovascular risk33. With the high protein, fibers, and low-fat composition, DL has worthy potential for dietary intervention in diabetes management.
Phenolic acid is major secondary metabolite founded in DL, particularly in raw beans38. Some phenolic acids including ferulic acid and coumaric acid make several major phenolic acid in DL, and those compounds were identified and confirmed at present study39. Other dominant polyphenol compound, rutin, also identified39. Phenolic acid has been proved to exhibits an anti-diabetic nature, particularly by inhibiting ɑ-amylase 21,23,24,40–42. Therefore, this result discover a wide potential of DL as anti-diabetic agent.
Regulating glucose metabolism and insulin performance are the key factors in diabetes management21,24,43,44. An enzyme called ɑ-amylase plays a vital role in glucose metabolism from dietary intake 45. Targeting its catalytic sites could lead to inhibition of the catalytic activity of ɑ-amylase then prevent uprising glycemic levels15,19. In the present study, Ursolic Acid, Oleanolic Acid, Isoquercetin, Psilostachyin B, Rutin, 9-cis-Retinal, and Icariside B1 from DL extract could bind with some key residues of ɑ-amylase in the catalytic sites as mentioned in the earlier experiments19,46. Therefore, the interaction of those compounds with ɑ-amylase implies plasma glucose regulation.
Insulin sensitization also the primary outcome in diabetes therapy4. As the proteins involved in the insulin signaling process, DPP4 and PTP1B frequently used as the target for increasing insulin sensitivity17,25,47. ARG125, GLU205, TYR547, SER630, ASP708, ASN710, and HIS740 have been reported as catalytic residues in DPP420. Interaction in those residues could alter the biomechanism of DPP4, driving to the enhancement of glucose-dependent insulin secretion48. Also, addressing DPP4 for diabetes therapy has gained more attention and gave promising recovery effects49. Thus, blocking DPP4 by Isoquercetin, Rutin, and Icariside B1 from DL has immense opportunity to improve the health of diabetic patients.
Augmenting insulin sensitization can be reached by altering PTP1B activity50,51. Recently, allosteric and catalytic sites blocking of PTP1B have been reported. Directing LEU192, ASN193, PHE196, GLU276, PHE280, and TRP291 generate allosteric inhibition52, while ARG47, ASP48, PHE182, SER216, ALA217, GLY218, ILE219, GLY220, ARG221, and GLN266 perform catalytic inhibition53. With some compounds interacting at the catalytic sites, particularly PHE182, ALA217, and ARG221, DL may serve as a catalytic inhibitor for PTP1B and ameliorates insulin-signaling impairments.
The drug-likeness and drug promiscuity of a compound strongly associate with its physicochemical properties (PP)54,55. With the suitable PP, a compound will achieves an adequate absorption, distribution, efficacy, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) and prevent adverse drug reactions54,56. Lipophilicity, molecular size, polarity, solubility, saturation, and flexibility were determined based on XLOGP3, molecular weight, total polar surface area (TPSA) value, log S, fraction of carbons in the sp3 hybridization, and number of rotatable bond, respectively31. 19-Norandrostenedione, 19-Nortestosterone, Icariside B1, Ilicic Acid, and Psilostachyin B were the most compatible compound with those described properties. Thus, those compounds has high probability to have excellent bioavailability, flexibility, and affinity to the target proteins. In advance, 19-Nortestosterone, 19-Norandrostenedione, Icariside B1, and Psilostachyin B also have a reasonable probability of giving biological activity as an enzyme inhibitor and nuclear receptor ligands. Consequently, those compounds seem to have great potential for modulating glucose metabolism and insulin signaling fault in diabetes mellitus patients and good diet therapy for complementary medicine.
CONCLUSION:
DL may serves as suitable dietary interventions for diabetes therapy with good nutritional contents and numerous biologically active compounds. Several compounds, mainly 19-Norandrostenedione, 19-Nortestosterone, Icariside B1, Ilicic Acid, and Psilostachyin B highly probable to act as glucose metabolism modulator and insulin signalling repairmen agent through inhibiting ɑ-amylase, DPP4, and PTP1B, correspondingly.
