Abstract

The nutritious jujube fruit (Ziziphus jujube Mill.) is a member of the Rhamnaceous family and grows mainly in inland areas of Europe, southern and eastern Asia, Australia and especially northern China. Jujubes have a long history as fruit and medicinal. The main bioactive components are vitamin C, phenols, flavonoids, triterpenoids and polysaccharides. Chlorogenic acid (5-O-caffeoylquinic acid) is a phenolic compound of the hydroxycinnamic acid family found in the hydroethanolic fruit extract of Z.jujuba. This polyphenol has many health-enhancing properties, most of which are relevant for the treatment of metabolic syndrome, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antilipidemic, antidiabetic, and antihypertensive effects. Methods: Molecular docking of COX2 with chlorogenic acid was carried out by AutoDock. Result: The molecular docking result revealed that chlorogenic acid showed encouraging docking score. The docking score found to be -5.15.
