Nepetanudoside B (NNB) was isolated from aerial parts of endemic Nepeta aristata crude extract (CH3OH-CHCl3) using silica gel (n-hexane, methanol, ethyl acetate, and dichlorometane, respectively) and sephadex LH-20 (65% Methanol-35% Chloroform) column chromatographies. Preparative-HPLC was used to purify NNB after activity-guided isolation of methanol sub-fractions with enzyme inhibitory and DNA protective properties. The NNB was determined using H-1,C-13, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and LC-MS/MS. The study compared the effects of NNB with conventional drugs in terms of its ability to inhibit enzymes such as urease, alpha-amylase, carbonic anhydrase (CA), lipase, alpha-glucosidase, and tyrosinase, as well as its ability to protect DNA. Enzyme kinetic and molecular docking were also used to evaluate this. NNB exhibited the best inhibitory activity on urease (1.28 +/- 0.00 mu g/mL), lipase (5.83 +/- 0.10 mu g/mL), BChE (3.73 +/- 0.46 mu g/mL), tyrosinase (7.39 +/- 0.00 mu g/mL), alpha-glucosidase (10.95 +/- 0.00 mu g/mL), alpha-amylase (22.11 +/- 1.03 mu g/mL) and AChE (25.68 +/- 3.32 mu g/mL), respectively. NNB has higher MolDock scores with binding energy in alpha-glucosidase (-233) and BChE (-8.90 kcal/mol). In enzyme kinetics studies, it was determined that urease, AChE, alpha-glucosidase, lipase, and CA were non-competitive , while BChE and tyrosinase were competitive inhibition mechanisms. Their Ki values were calculated as 0.09, 0.24, 0.09, 0.10, 0.08, 0.05, and 0.07 mM, respectively. Molecular dynamics simulation studies were performed for the interactions of NNB-BChE with MM/PBSA binding free energey RMSD, RMSF, Rg, SASA, and also the number of hydrogen bonds was calculated. The suitability and effectiveness of NNB have been proven in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The NNB molecule may lead to development studies as a BChE inhibitor. [GRAPHICS] .
