Resumo

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of gastrointestinal digestion on the phytochemical profile, phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity, and sugar content in the ara & ccedil;a<acute accent>-boi extract. Additionally, molecular docking of target proteins and ADMET analysis were performed using the major compound of ara & ccedil;a<acute accent>-boi extract after gastrointestinal digestion. UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS analyses revealed 100 compounds identified, and after gastrointestinal digestion, only 59 compounds were identified. Gastrointestinal digestion had a significant impact on phenolic compounds and sugar content. The extract showed an increase in antioxidant capacity in the ABTS center dot+ assay, while it decreased in the DPPH, FRAP, and ORAC assays after gastrointestinal digestion. The in silico study showed that trans-cinnamic acid interacts with target proteins such as NF-kappa B, IL-1 beta, and PI3K and that it has a promising pharmacokinetic profile. These findings emphasize the importance of further investigating the effects of the extract in different physiological contexts and its potential applications. (AU)
