Numerous studies indicate that diets with a variety of fruits and vegetables decrease the incidence of severe diseases, like diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Diets contain a variety of bioactive compounds, and their features, like diverge scaffolds, and structural complexity make them the most successful source of potential leads or hits in the process of drug discovery and drug development. Recently, novel serine protease dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors played a role in the management of diabetes, obesity, and cancer. This study describes the development of field template, field-based qualitative structureâ»activity relationship (SAR) model demonstrating DPP-4 inhibitors of natural origin, and the same model is used to screen virtually focused food database composed of polyphenols as potential DPP-4 inhibitors. Compounds' similarity to field template, and novelty score "high and very high", were used as primary criteria to identify novel DPP-4 inhibitors. Molecular docking simulations were performed on the resulting natural compounds using FlexX algorithm. Finally, one natural compound, chrysin, was chosen to be evaluated experimentally to demonstrate the applicability of constructed SAR model. This study provides the molecular insights necessary in the discovery of new leads as DPP-4 inhibitors, to improve the potency of existing DPP-4 natural inhibitors.
