Comment: Cinchonine is an alkaloid phytochemical which is present in the South American shrub/tree Cinchona officinalis, one of the plants that is used for the production of quinine. It is structurally very similar quinine. Experimental evidence indicates that cinchonine can act as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, with associated findings in mouse models that support its potential as an oral agent to treat type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) [1]. Molecular docking was used to analyse the likely binding characteristics of cinchonine for the GLP-1 receptor, and to predict the contact residues that mediate ligand docking into the receptor structure. Binding affinity was considered to be good by this methodology, but this should be confirmed by further in vitro exploration.
