  "abstract": "Resveratrol oligomers from Shorea species possess diverse biological activities, but the structural determinants governing their inhibition of xanthine oxidase (XO) remain poorly understood. This study investigated oligoresveratrols isolated from the root bark of Shorea parvifolia and examined how their structures relate to XO inhibitory potential. Five oligoresveratrols were isolated and structurally characterized by spectroscopic analysis. We evaluated their XO inhibitory activities, followed by pharmacokinetic and drug-likeness predictions, DFT calculations, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations of the most active compounds. Five compounds, including isoampelopsin D (1), diptoindonesin G (2), shorealactone (3), α-viniferin (4), and neohopeaphenol A (5), were identified. XO inhibition varied substantially among the compounds, with shorealactone (3) showing the strongest activity (IC₅₀ = 32.53 µM), outperforming the clinical reference standard, allopurinol (40.1 µM). Isoampelopsin D (1) also showed potent inhibition (65.15 µM), whereas diptoindonesin G (2) showed the weakest activity in the series (161.08 µM). Docking identified favorable interactions of compounds 1-3 within the molybdopterin domain of XO, while molecular dynamics provided compound stability during 100 ns simulations. MM-PBSA calculations yielded favorable binding free energies for compounds 2, 1, and 3, with ΔG bind values of -18.03, -17.17, and -14.36 kcal mol⁻¹, respectively, compared with -9.9972 kcal mol⁻¹ for allopurinol. However, compound 3 achieves the most favorable thermodynamic affinity (ΔG exp = -6.12 kcal mol⁻¹), outperforming allopurinol (-6.00 kcal mol⁻¹). This is followed by compound 1 (-5.71 kcal mol⁻¹) and compound 2 (-5.17 kcal mol⁻¹). Collectively, these divergent bioactivity profiles identify isoampelopsin D (1) and shorealactone (3) as promising structural scaffolds for future development as natural xanthine oxidase inhibitors.",
