In-silico elucidation of phytoconstituents against 1LPB protein and anti-dyslipidaemic activity of Psoralea corylifolia Linn leaf extract

Psoralea corylifolia L. has been used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine systems for management of various diseases. The various phytochemical constituents work in orchestric manner to treat diverse illnesses. Current pharmaco-therapies shown beneficiary role in treatment of dyslipidaemia but facing life threatening side effects. The usage of herbs increased worldwide and paves the way for development of pharmaceuticals for hyperlipidemia treatment. The main objective of present work was to investigate anti-hyperlipidemic activity and in-silico pancreatic lipase inhibitory potential of Psoralea corylifolia L. (PC) leaf extract. The existence of several phytoconstituents was confirmed by the chromatographic research and mainly includes the flavonoids and furanocoumarins. All studied phytoconstituents were found to have superior binding affinity than standard orlistat (− 7.1 kcal/mol), with docking score ranges from − 10.6 to − 7.3 kcal/mol. At 200 mg/kg/day the ethanolic leaf extract demonstrated highest lipid lowering action. Ethanolic leaf extract of Psoralea corylifolia revealed evidential antihyperlipidemic potential in a concentration dependent manner ( P
