The chemical structure of the flavonol contained in Sterculia foetida leaf was taken from the literature. The target protein used was 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, while the control was simvastatin. Water molecules were removed using PyMol v2.5.2 Software. Docking between the target protein and flavonol was performed using PyRx-Python Prescription 0.8 Software. The results showed that flavonol compounds had greater potential as antihyperlipidemic compared to control compounds. The comparative affinity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase with flavonols is -8, 3 while the affinity for 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase with simvastatin is -7.9. Toxicity test of flavonol showed that the flavonol was not potentially carcinogenic and did not cause mutations. The absorption of flavonol in water was higher than in the control compound.
