Evaluation of the inhibitory potentials of selected compounds from Costus spicatus (Jacq.) rhizome towards enzymes associated with insulin resistance in polycystic ovarian syndrome: an in silico study

Abstract Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a chronic endocrine disorder prevalent in premenopausal women and is characterized by a range of physiological and biochemical abnormalities which may include reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic alterations such as insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance is the hallmark of PCOS as it predisposes the affected subjects to a higher risk of impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, the inhibitory activities of phytosterols and saccharides from aqueous extract of Costus spicatus rhizome were investigated against phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), α-amylase, β-glucosidase, and fructose 1,6-biphosphatase (FBPase) in silico as potential novel therapeutic targets for T2DM-associated-PCOS. Phytochemical constituents of the plant were determined using gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS), while molecular docking of the compounds with PEPCK, α-amylase, β-glucosidase, and FBPase was conducted using Vina.
