In this study, we employed a multi-disciplinary approach—combining <em>in silico</em> molecular modelling and <em>in vitro</em> enzyme assays—to identify potent AR inhibitors from six naturally occurring xanthone derivatives. Docking, Molecular dynamics simulation, and MM/PBSA calculations revealed that garcinone E, norathyriol, and smeathxanthone A demonstrated the strongest binding affinities and stable interactions with critical residues in the AR binding site. Free energy landscape analysis further highlighted their ability to stabilize AR in low-energy conformational states, reducing enzyme flexibility. ADMET profiling indicated that norathyriol, bellidifolin, and 1-hydroxy-3,5,6,7-tetramethoxyxanthone exhibit favourable pharmacokinetic properties, including high gastrointestinal absorption and compliance with Lipinski’s rule of five, whereas mangiferin displayed poor bioavailability and permeability. <em>In vitro</em> validation confirmed the potent inhibitory activity of garcinone E (IC₅₀ = 4.66 ± 0.21 µM), norathyriol (IC₅₀ = 5.75 ± 0.36 µM), and smeathxanthone A (IC₅₀ = 7.92 ± 1.12 µM), comparable to quercetin (IC₅₀ = 2.46 µM). Enzyme kinetics revealed that garcinone E and smeathxanthone A act as non-competitive inhibitors, while norathyriol shows mixed inhibition, suggesting diverse binding mechanisms that enhance their efficacy. Collectively, these xanthones represent promising oral leads for attenuating diabetic neuropathy, retinopathy, and nephropathy by modulating the polyol pathway.

Consequently, there is a growing interest in the search for cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives. Nevertheless, xanthan produced from these alternative raw materials comes with various technical challenges. This review therefore collates the recent findings in the use of food and agro-industrial waste as alternative carbon sources, offering a novel and sustainable solution to wastes management and cost challenge.

Revealed yields and thermal stability of such gums match commercial standards, while their structure and functional properties may vary, indicating the need for quality control.
