[PMID: 38636435 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
α-Glycosidase inhibition is one of the main approaches to treat Diabetes mellitus. Polyphenolic moieties are known to be responsible for yielding exhibit potent α-glycosidase inhibitory effects. In addition, compounds containing benzothiazole and Schiff base functionalities were previously reported to show α-glycosidase inhibition. In this paper, the synthesis of seven new phloroglucinol-containing benzothiazole Schiff base derivatives through the reaction of 6-substituted-2-aminobenzothiazole compounds with 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzaldehyde using acetic acid as a catalyst was reported. The synthesized compounds were characterized using spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on α-glycosidase, compounds 3f and 3g were found to show significant inhibitory properties when compared to the positive control. The IC50 values of 3f and 3g were calculated as 24.05 ± 2.28 and 18.51 ± 1.19 µM, respectively. Kinetic studies revealed that compounds 3f and 3g exhibited uncompetitive mode of inhibition against α-glycosidase. Molecular modeling predicted druglikeness for the title compounds and underpinned the importance of phloroglucinol hydroxyls for interacting with the key residues of α-glycosidase.

Abstract
Andrographis echioides has been extensively utilized in traditional Indian folk medicines for several skin disorders and other biological actions such as diuretic, antimicrobial, anthelmintic, anti-ulcer, and hepatoprotective properties. Different crude extracts were extracted from A. echioides leaves using various solvents such as methanol and water. The prepared crude extracts were utilized to formulate different herbal ointments. Further, the prepared ointments were examined against wounds and bacterial pathogens. The wound healing ability of the prepared formulations was observed for F1, F2, and F3, to be (89.84%, 95.11%, and 95.75%) respectively. Moreover, wound healing capabilities were compared with standard Betadine which exhibits 98.12%, those results indicating that the prepared herbal ointment also has a promising wound healing ability. The F2 formulations outperform the other two formulations (F1 and F2) in terms of their antibacterial ability to combat Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli. Moreover, there are two compounds were successfully isolated and identified from methanolic extract, which are 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromene-3,5,7-triol and 3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoic acid. Meanwhile, the molecular docking investigation exposed high binding energy Staphylococcus aureus TyrRS (-8.9 kcal/mole), Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (-7.5 kcal/mole), Penicillin-binding protein 2a (-8.0 kcal/mole), S. aureus DNA Gyrase (-7.2 kcal/mole), GSK-3beta (Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta) (-8.3 kcal/mole) and TGF - Beta Receptor Type 1 Kinase Domain (-8.7 kcal/mole) indicating high degree of interaction between Compound-1 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromene-3,5,7-triol (DHPDHC) and 7 clinically important skin infective pathogen Staphylococcus aureus proteins at the active sites. Additionally, the standard drug Povidone iodine, Sulphothiazole, and Nitrofurazone (< -8 kcal/mole), displayed low binding affinity on targeted proteins. A molecular dynamics simulation research with high free energy showed stable interaction between the ligand and protein. Which endorses the capabilities of A. echioides derived compounds as a potential wound healer and antibacterial therapeutic candidate for drug development in the future.

Abstract
Two new glycosides, sindosides A-B (1-2), along with 11 previously identified metabolites (3-13), were isolated from an ethanolic extract of the leaves of Sindora siamensis var. maritima. The structures of the purified phytochemicals were elucidated by interpreting their spectroscopic data (IR, NMR, and HRMS). The absolute configuration of compound 1 was established by experimental and calculated ECD spectra. The antimicrobial results revealed that compound 8 selectively inhibited C. albicans fungal with a MIC value of 64 μg/mL, whereas 11 presented a weak inhibition toward E. faecalis, S. aureus, and B. cereus bacterial strains with the same MIC value of 128 μg/mL. Interestingly, compounds 1, 2, 8, 9, and 11 showed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 14.42 ± 0.21 to 30.62 ± 0.18 μM, which were more active than the positive control (acarbose, with an IC50 value of 46.78 ± 1.37 μM). Enzyme kinetic analysis revealed that compounds 1, 2, and 11 behaved as uncompetitive inhibitors with Ki values of 8.60 ± 1.04, 5.16 ± 0.73, and 7.17 ± 0.98 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus remains a major global health issue, and great attention is directed at natural therapeutics. This systematic review aimed to assess the potential of flavonoids as antidiabetic agents by investigating their inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and α-amylase, two key enzymes involved in starch digestion. Six scientific databases (PubMed, Virtual Health Library, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and WHO Global Index Medicus) were searched until August 21, 2022, for in vitro studies reporting IC50 values of purified flavonoids on α-amylase and α-glucosidase, along with corresponding data for acarbose as a positive control. A total of 339 eligible articles were analyzed, resulting in the retrieval of 1643 flavonoid structures. These structures were rigorously standardized and curated, yielding 974 unique compounds, among which 177 flavonoids exhibited inhibition of both α-glucosidase and α-amylase are presented. Quality assessment utilizing a modified CONSORT checklist and structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis were performed, revealing crucial features for the simultaneous inhibition of flavonoids against both enzymes. Moreover, the review also addressed several limitations in the current research landscape and proposed potential solutions. The curated datasets are available online at https://github.com/MedChemUMP/FDIGA .

Abstract
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are crucial enzymes for cellular protein metabolism and have been considered as an attractive target for development of new antimicrobials. In the current study, seryl tRNA synthetase of Leishmania donovani (LdSerRS) and its mutants were purified and characterized through biochemical and structural methods. Purified LdSerRS was found to be enzymatically active and exhibited more alpha helices in secondary structure. The enzymatic activity of purified protein was observed as highest near physiological temperature and pH. Mutation in ATP binding residues (R295 and E297) demonstrated reduction in the affinity for cofactor with no significant deviation in secondary structure. In vitro inhibition studies with ureidosulfocoumarin derivatives helped to identify Comp 5l as a specific inhibitor for leishmanial SerRS that showed lesser potency towards purified HsSerRS. The identified compound presented competitive mode of inhibition for LdSerRS and also revealed druglikeness along with very low toxicity for human macrophages. Structural analysis of protein and ligand complex depicted the binding of Comp 5l into the cofactor binding site of LdSerRS with high affinity succeeded by validation employing molecular dynamics simulations. Altogether, our study presents a promising scaffold to explore small molecules to target the enzymatic activity of leishmanial SerRS to develop the specific therapeutics.

Abstract
α-Glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) are oral antidiabetic drugs, preferably used in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus, that delay the absorption of carbohydrates from the gastrointestinal system. In this work, 2,5-disubstituted furan derivatives containing imidazole, triazole or tetrazole moiety (III-01 ∼ III-45) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, HRMS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and single crystal X-ray. Their inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase was screened. The most promising inhibitors were compound III-11 (IC50 = 6.0 ± 1.1 μM), III-16 (IC50 = 2.2 ± 0.2 μM) and III-39 (IC50 = 4.6 ± 1.9 μM), respectively. Kinetic study revealed that compounds III-11 and III-39 were uncompetitive inhibitors against α-glucosidase. Meanwhile, III-16 (Ki = 5.1 ± 0.7 μM) was a competitive inhibitor. Furthermore, molecular docking studies indicated that the existence of the azole group played a critically important role in hydrogen bond interaction with α-glucosidase. Significantly, in vivo toxicity towards HEK293 cells, RAW264.7 cells and HepG2 cells suggested that compounds III-11 and III-39 possessed non-toxicity, that could be considered as potential candidates for further development of novel antidiabetic drugs.

Abstract
Melastoma dodecandrum Lour. (MDL) extracts have shown potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, suggesting MDL might be a good source of α-glucosidase inhibitors. The aim of the study was to identify compounds in MDL extracts with α-glucosidase inhibitory activities and evaluate their effect on postprandial blood glucose as well as elucidating the underlying mechanisms of inhibition. A total of 34 polyphenols were identified in MDL fruits, among which 10 anthocyanins and three proanthocyanidin derivatives were discovered for the first time. Dosing mice with MDL extracts (100 mg/kg body weight, by gavage) was associated with a significantly decrease in postprandial blood glucose concentrations after oral administration of maltose. The most potent α-glucosidase inhibitor was identified as casuarictin (IC50 of 0.21 μg/mL). Casuarictin bound competitively to α-glucosidase, occupying not only the catalytic site but also forming strong hydrogen bonds with α-glucosidase residues. Therefore, casuarictin derived from MDL fruits might be used as novel α-glucosidase inhibitor in functional foods or other dietary products.

Abstract
Terfezia claveryi (T. claveryi) is used by traditional healers in the Middle East region to treat several diseases, including diabetes. The present study evaluated the total phenolic and investigated the blood-glucose-lowering potential of different aqueous extracts of this selected truffle using in vitro and in vivo models. The phytochemical profile was examined using UPLC-MS. The macerate and the microwave-assisted extract were the richest in phenolic compounds. All T. claveryi extracts exhibited a remarkable α-glucosidase inhibitory effect in vitro, with an IC50 of 2.43, 3.26, 5.18 and 3.31 mg/mL for the aqueous microwave-assisted extract macerate, infusion and decoction, respectively. On the other hand, in the high-fat diet alloxan-induced diabetic mice model, all tested crude aqueous extracts exhibited a significant antihyperglycemic activity (p < 0.05). Four hours after the administration of the 250 mg/kg dose, the macerate was able to induce a 29.4% blood-glucose-lowering effect compared to a 24.8% reduction induced by the infusion, which was sustained for a further two hours. The hypoglycemic effect (29.3% and 32.4%) was also recorded six hours after the administration of the single dose 500 mg/kg of the macerate and the infusion, respectively. Truffle extracts exhibited antidiabetic activity both in vitro and in vivo, providing a rationale for the traditional use as a natural hypoglycemic.

Abstract
As a natural flavonolignan, silibinin is reported to possess multiple biological activities, while the inhibitory potential of silibinin on carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes is still unclear. Therefore, in this study, the inhibitory effect and underlying mechanism of silibinin against α-amylase/α-glucosidase were investigated. The results indicated that silibinin showed a strong inhibitory efficiency against α-amylase/α-glucosidase in noncompetitive manners and exhibited synergistic inhibition against α-glucosidase with acarbose. However, interestingly, the inhibitory effect of silibinin was significantly hindered in various milk protein-rich environments, but this phenomenon disappeared after simulated gastrointestinal digestion of milk proteins in vitro. Furthermore, silibinin could combine with the inactive site of α-amylase/α-glucosidase and change the microenvironment and secondary structure of the enzymes, thereby influencing the catalytic efficiency of enzymes. This research suggested that silibinin could be used as a novel carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzyme inhibitor, and milk beverages rich in silibinin had the potential for further application in antidiabetic dietary or medicine.

Abstract
The inhibition of α-glucosidase is a clinical strategy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and many natural plant ingredients have been reported to be effective in alleviating hyperglycemia by inhibiting α-glucosidase. In this study, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of fisetin extracted from Cotinus coggygria Scop. was evaluated in vitro. The results showed that fisetin exhibited strong inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 4.099 × 10−4 mM. Enzyme kinetic analysis revealed that fisetin is a non-competitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase, with an inhibition constant value of 0.01065 ± 0.003255 mM. Moreover, fluorescence spectrometric measurements indicated the presence of only one binding site between fisetin and α-glucosidase, with a binding constant (lgKa) of 5.896 L·mol−1. Further molecular docking studies were performed to evaluate the interaction of fisetin with several residues close to the inactive site of α-glucosidase. These studies showed that the structure of the complex was maintained by Pi-Sigma and Pi-Pi stacked interactions.

Abstract
Hypericum attenuatum Choisy is a traditional Chinese herbal plant with multiple therapeutic effects. In this study, bioactivity-guided fractionation of Hypericum attenuatum Choisy extracts afforded three major flavonoids (including astragalin, guaijaverin and quercetin), which possessed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC 50 values of 33.90 ± 0.68 μM, 17.23 ± 0.75 μM and 31.90 ± 0.34 μM, respectively. Circular dichroism analysis revealed that all the three compounds could interact with α-glucosidase by inducing conformational changes of the enzyme. Molecular docking results indicated that they could bind to the active site in α-glucosidase, and the binding force was driven mainly by hydrogen bond. Additionally, isobolographic analysis of the interactions between two compounds showed that all the combinations presented a synergistic α-glucosidase inhibitory effect at lower concentrations, and the combination between quercetin and guaijaverin or astragalin exhibited the best synergistic effect. This research might provide a theoretical basis for the application of Hypericum attenuatum Choisy in treating hyperglycemia.

Abstract
The inhibition of α-glucosidase and glycation is closely related to the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications. In this study, quercetin-3-O-glucuronide (Q3GA) showed reversible and mixed-mode inhibition of α-glucosidase activity, with an IC50 value of 108.11 ± 4.61 μM. This was mainly due to the spontaneous formation of Q3GA-α-glucosidase driven by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, which could change the microenvironments and conformation of α-glucosidase. In addition, Q3GA showed strong suppression of the formation of glycation products, including fructosamine, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). Molecular docking analysis demonstrated that Q3GA entered the hydrophobic pocket of ovalbumin to form six hydrogen bonds with amino acid residues, which affected the glycation process. These findings indicate that Q3GA is an excellent inhibitor of α-glucosidase and glycation, and promote its development as a drug or dietary supplement for DM.

Abstract
Flavonoid compounds have anti-diabetic activity, which can control blood glucose levels by inhibiting α-glucosidase activity. In this paper, the inhibition mechanisms between four flavonoid compounds and α-glucosidase were studied by multispectroscopic methods and molecular docking. The results showed that the inhibitory activities of flavonoid compounds were higher than that of acarbose, and the sequence of inhibition effect was scutellarein > nepetin > apigenin > hispidulin > acarbose. Also, the synergistic effects of flavonoid compounds combined with acarbose on inhibiting α-glucosidase activity were observed. The fluorescence results showed that flavonoid compounds combined with α-glucosidase to form a stable complex. And the spectral analysis indicated that the microenvironmental and secondary structure of α-glucosidase were changed. The present study demonstrated that the molecular structure of flavonoid compounds played an important role in the inhibition process, namely, scutellarein with more hydroxyl groups on the A-ring might serve as the most effective α-glucosidase inhibitor.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:5163.

Abstract
Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae) is a typical cause of rice blast in agricultural production. Isobavachalcone (IBC), an active ingredient of Psoralea corylifolia L. extract, is an effective fungicide against rice blast. To determine the mechanism of IBC against M. oryzae, the effect of IBC on the metabolic pathway of M. oryzae was explored by transcriptome profiling. In M. oryzae, the expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 (PDHE1), part of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA cycle), was significantly decreased in response to treatment with IBC, which was verified by qPCR and testing of enzyme activity. To further elucidate the interactions between IBC and PDHE1, the 3D structure model of the PDHE1 from M. oryzae was established based on homology modeling. The model was utilized to analyze the molecular interactions through molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation, revealing that IBC has π-π stacking interactions with residue TYR139 and undergoes hydrogen bonding with residue ASP217 of PDHE1. Additionally, the nonpolar residues PHE111, MET174, ILE 187, VAL188, and MET250 form strong hydrophobic interactions with IBC. The above results reveal that PDHE1 is a potential target for antifungal agents, which will be of great significance for guiding the design of new fungicides. This research clarified the mechanism of IBC against M. oryzae at the molecular level, which will underpin further studies of the inhibitory mechanism of flavonoids and the discovery of new targets. It also provides theoretical guidance for the field application of IBC.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Potentilla plants are still common herbal medicines used in folk medicine. This review provides an update of research undertaken on Potentilla from 2009 until 2020. AIM OF THE STUDY This comprehensive review considers biological updates, recent advances in phytochemical and pharmacological research, and toxicological reports on Potentilla sensu lato based on available data since 2009. METHODS A literature search was conducted using available databases including ScienceDirect, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Google Scholar. RESULTS Until now, more than 210 new and known compounds, including flavonoids, tannins, triterpenes and phenolic compounds, have been confirmed and elucidated for numerous Potentilla species, i.e., in the underground and aerial parts of this genus. Modern pharmacology studies have revealed that those structures are responsible for a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, such as anti-neoplastic, antihyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, antibacterial and anti-yeast effects. CONCLUSIONS However, in vitro studies must be re-considered due to the discovery of urolithins and their origins, including microbiota, which can lead to different results when applying Potentilla species and their extracts to in vivo conditions. Thus, future research should focus more on in vivo and particularly clinical studies to confirm the validity and safety of traditional uses. Particularly, the use of Potentilla alba extracts in the treatment of thyroid gland disorders should be further explored to confirm the underlying mechanism of their action, efficacy and safety. In addition, more clinical studies should focus on Potentilla erecta rhizome extracts for application as herbal remedies against dysentery, diarrhoea and inflammation of the skin.

Abstract
Parkia speciosa is a food plant that grows indigenously in Southeast Asia. A great deal of interest has been paid to this plant due to its traditional uses in the treatment of several diseases. The pods contain many beneficial secondary metabolites with potential applications in medicine and cosmetics. However, studies on their phytochemical properties are still lacking. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to profile the bioactive compounds of P. speciosa pods collected from six different regions of Malaysia through ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS) and α-glucosidase inhibitory potential. This study applied metabolomics to elucidate the differences between P. speciosa populations found naturally in the different locations and to characterize potential α-glucosidase inhibitors from P. speciosa pods. P. speciosa collected from different regions of Malaysia showed good α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, with a median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.45–0.76 μg/mL. The samples from the northern and northeastern parts of Peninsular Malaysia showed the highest activity. Using UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS analysis, 25 metabolites were identified in the pods of P. speciosa. The findings unveiled that the pods of P. speciosa collected from different locations exhibit different levels of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The pods are a natural source of potent antidiabetic bioactive compounds.

Abstract
A phenolic rich fraction purified from Simarouba glauca leaves was effective in alpha glucosidase inhibition. The purified fraction named 'fraction-14' had shown significant inhibition of yeast alpha glucosidase enzyme activity (IC50 = 2.4 ± 0.4 μg/mL) when compared to anti-diabetic drug acarbose (IC50 = 2450 ± 24 μg/mL). The purified fraction also had reasonable DPPH (IC50 = 14.4 ± 0.1 μg/mL) and ABTS (IC50 = 7.6 ± 0.5 μg/mL) free radical scavenging activity when compared to the standard ascorbic acid. The LC-MS analysis of bioactive 'fraction-14' revealed four compounds, eclalbasaponin-v (1), cyanidin-3-O-(2'galloyl)-galactoside (2), kaempferol-3-O-glucoside (3) and kaempferol-3-O-pentoside (4) for the first time in S. glauca in this study. The kinetic study of the 'fraction-14' indicates a mixed type of inhibition on the alpha glucosidase enzyme with K i , 6.2 μg/mL. Docking studies showed promising binding energy for the compounds 2 (-7.769 kJ/mol), 3 (-7.04 kJ/mol) and 4 (-7.127 kJ/mol) against yeast alpha glucosidase which was better than acarbose (-6.867 kJ/mol). In conclusion, the phenolic rich fraction from S. glauca possessing good in-vitro antioxidant property and alpha glucosidase enzyme inhibition potential along with mixed inhibition kinetics. Also, better binding energy of compounds (1, 2 & 3) appears to contain potential lead-molecule for antidiabetic therapy.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The Musa x paradisiaca L. inflorescence, known as banana blossom or banana heart, is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the study was to investigate the antidiabetic activity of aqueous extracts and fractions prepared from the bracts and flowers of Musa x paradisiaca in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and to chemically characterize the extracts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Standard aqueous extracts of the flowers, bracts, and their fractions were prepared and their chemical composition was determined tentatively by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to diode-array detection and mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-MS). Changes in fasting glycemia and oral glucose tolerance were evaluated in STZ-induced diabetic rats (n = 8) treated with aqueous extracts of Musa x paradisiaca (200 mg/kg) for 20 days. RESULTS Chemical analyses detected 21 compounds and 17 metabolites were identified, among which were glycosylated and acetylated phenylpropanoids of p-coumaric acid and caffeic acid, as well as a glycosylated flavonol and anthocyanins. Following 15 days of treatment, the bract aqueous extracts and the methanolic fraction of the flower had significant effects on the glycemic profile after glucose load in diabetic rats as compared with the untreated diabetic group. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study show the antidiabetic potential of extracts of the flowers and bracts of M. x paradisiaca.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease of pulmonary arteries, causing serious shortness of breath and right ventricular failure with high mortality. Numerous studies have verified that the symptoms of PAH could be attenuated effectively with endothelin-A receptor (ETAR) antagonists. Unfortunately, the 3D structure of ETAR has not been released, making it difficult to understand the interactions between ETAR and its antagonists. In this study, computational methods including homology modeling, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to build the structure of ETAR and predict the binding patterns of ETAR with its two antagonists. Based on these results, virtual screening study was implemented against Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) database to identify novel natural ETAR antagonists. Six compounds with best binding energies were screened out and two of them were found to bind steadily with ETAR validated through molecular dynamics simulations and MM-GBSA calculation, indicating that they were potential antagonists of ETAR. In a word, our research provided a deep exploration into the interaction between ETAR and its antagonists, which could promote the development of novel therapy against PAH.[Formula: see text]Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Potentilla kleiniana Wight et Arn is widely used as a herbal medicine to treat type 2 diabetes. However, detailed information about its active compounds is lacking. OBJECTIVE To develop an efficient method for the rapid screening and separation of α-glucosidase inhibitors from Potentilla kleiniana Wight et Arn. METHODOLOGY Potential α-glucosidase inhibitors from Potentilla kleiniana Wight et Arn were rapidly screened out through ultrafiltration high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), and then followed by a target-guided high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) separation using two-phase solvent systems composed of n-hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/water (1:10:1:10, v/v/v/v and 1:10:5:6, v/v/v/v), and adopting increasing flow-rate from 1.5 to 3.0 mL/min after 200 min. Their structures were identified by ultraviolet (UV), MS, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H-NMR) and carbon-13 (13 C)-NMR, and their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities were assessed by in vitro assay. RESULTS Five α-glucosidase inhibitors including gallic acid (25.7 mg, 98.2%, 1), brevifolincarboxylic acid (9.86 mg, 95.3%, 2), ethyl evifolincarboxylate (13.26 mg, 97.6%, 3), 3,3'-di-O-methylellagic acid-4'-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (16.26 mg, 95.1%, 4), and 3,3'-di-O-methylellagic acid (10.54 mg, 96.8%, 5) were successfully purified from 250 mg n-butanol extract in a single run. Compounds 1, 2, 4 and 5 exhibited stronger α-glucosidase inhibitory activities[half maximal inhibition concentration (IC50 ) values at 173.41 ± 6.35, 323.46 ± 8.08, 44.63 ± 2.50, and 20.73 ± 2.56 μM, respectively] than acarbose (IC50 value at 332.12 ± 5.52 μM, reference compound). CONCLUSIONS Notably, compounds 2-5 were reported in the Potentilla kleiniana Wight et Arn for the first time. The results indicated that the proposed method could be applied for the rapid screening and preparative separation of α-glucosidase inhibitors from a complex matrix.

Abstract
Inhibiting starch digestion can effectively control postprandial blood sugar level. In this study, the in vitro digestion differences among the mixtures of five polyphenols (i.e., procyanidins [PAs], catechin [CA], tannic acid [TA], rutin [RU], and quercetin [QU]) and starch were analyzed through an in vitro simulation test of starch digestion. The interaction characteristics of these five polyphenols with α-amylase and α-glucosidase were investigated in terms of the inhibition effect, dynamics, fluorescence quenching, and circular dichroism (CD). The results revealed that the rapidly digestible starch (RDS) contents decreased, while the resistant starch (RS) contents increased. All five polyphenols inhibited the α-amylase activity through the noncompetitive approach but inhibited the α-glucosidase activity through the competitive approach. Five polyphenols combined with α-amylase spontaneously by using the hydrophobic effect. The interaction of PAs and QU with α-glucosidase were recognized as van der Waals forces and H bonding, whereas CA and TA interacted with α-glucosidase through the hydrophobic effect. All five polyphenols can cause conformational changes in enzymes.

Abstract
Objectives The scope of this study was to investigate the total phenolic, anthocyanin, and flavonoid contents and the biological properties of ethanol extract (EE), methanol extract (ME), and aqueous extract (AE) from Vaccinium arctostaphylos L. Materials and Methods EE, ME, and AE of V. arctostaphylos were prepared. Various biological activities such as total phenolic, anthocyanin, and flavonoid contents, and antioxidant (2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl ferrous ion-chelating, and ferric reducing antioxidant power assays), α-glucosidase inhibitory, anti-inflammatory, and DNA protective properties of these extracts were studied. Results EE exhibited the highest total phenolic, anthocyanin, and flavonoid contents with 44.42±1.22 mg gallic acid equivalents/g dry weight, 8.46±0.49 mg/Cyaniding-3-glucoside equivalents/g dry weight, and 9.22±0.92 mg quercetin equivalents/g dry weight, respectively. The antioxidant activities of the extracts followed the order: EE>ME>AE. EE and ME inhibited α-glucosidase enzyme and their IC50 values were 0.301±0.002 mg/mL and 0.477±0.003 mg/mL, respectively. In addition, EE and ME were determined as noncompetitive inhibitors with inhibitory constant (Ki ) values of 0.48±0.02 mg/mL and 0.46±0.01 mg/mL, respectively. EE in 100 and 300 mg/kg doses caused a significant reduction in formalin-induced edema in mice, demonstrating the anti-inflammatory effect of EE. In DNA protective studies, all of the extracts protected supercoiled plasmid pBR322 DNA against damage caused by Fenton's reagents due to their radical scavenging activities. Conclusion Our results demonstrated that EE of V. arctostaphylos L. had strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, α-glucosidase inhibitory, and DNA protective effects, suggesting that it might be an effective medical plant to prevent or treat diseases associated with oxidative damage and inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carboxylesterases (CEs) belong to the serine hydrolase family, and are in charge of hydrolyzing chemicals with carboxylic acid ester and amide functional groups via Ser-His-Glu. Uncaria rhynchophylla (Miq.) Miq. ex Havil. is a famous traditional Chinese medicine used in managing hyperpyrexia, epilepsy, preeclampsia, and hypertension in China. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE To discover the potential natural human carboxylesterase 2 (hCE 2) inhibitors from U. rhynchophylla. METHODS Compounds were obtained from the hooks of U. rhynchophylla by silica gel and preparative HPLC. Their structures were elucidated by using HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectra. Their inhibitory activeties and inhibition kinetics against hCE 2 were assayed by the fluorescent probe, and potential mechanisms were also investigated by molecular docking. RESULTS Twenty-three compounds, including a new phenolic acid uncariarhyine A (1), eight known triterpenoids (2-9), and ten known aromatic derivatives (10, 13-16, and 19-23), were isolated from U. rhynchophylla. Compounds 1-5, 7, 9, and 15 showed significant inhibitory activities against hCE 2 with IC50 values from 4.01 ± 0.61 µM to 18.60 ± 0.21 µM, and their inhibition kinetic analysis results revealed that compounds 1, 5, 9, and 15 were non-competitive; compounds 3 and 4 were mixed-type, and compounds 2 and 7 were uncompetitive. Molecular docking studies indicated inhibition mechanisms of compounds 1-5, 7, 9, and 15 against hCE 2. CONCLUSION Our present findings highlight potential natural hCE 2 inhibitors from U. rhynchophylla.

Abstract
The rice blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea is one of the most devastating rice diseases, but there is no effective fungicide toward chitinase which is a key enzyme of M. grisea. In this study, we observed that distortion and cell-wall damage of M. grisea hyphae were significantly under the scanning electron micrograph after a 24-h treatment with 10 mg/L isobavachalcone (IBC) extracted from Psoralea corylifolia L. To further explore the effect of IBC on the cell wall of M. grisea, we examined changes in enzymes associated with cell wall degradation by enzyme activity experiments, treated liquid culture mycelia with 10 mg/L IBC for 1 h. Results displayed that chitinase was obviously more active than control group. To illustrate the interactions between IBC and chitinase, the studies of homology modeling and molecular docking were carried out successively. The results revealed that IBC had hydrogen bonds with residues ASP267 and ARG276 of chitinase. Besides, these nonpolar residues TYR270, PRO271, VAL272, LEU310, PRO311, TYR316, and LEU317 were able to form strong hydrophobic interactions. Binding energies of the chitinase-IBC complexes were calculated by MM-GBSA showed that the ΔGbind score of molecular dynamics had lower binding energy and more stable than docking complexes. All above, IBC owns significant agonistic activity in chitinase and would be a potent fungicide to inhibit the growth of M. grisea. We hope the above information provides an important insight for understanding the interactions between IBC and chitinase, which may be useful in the discovery of a novel potent agonist.

Abstract
Neolignans are a large group of polyphenols found in plants and exhibit a wide range of bioactivities including cytotoxicity, apoptosis inducer, antimalarial and antifungal effects, acetylcholinesterase, tyrosinase, and α-glucosidase inhibition. In this study we tested acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), tyrosinase, and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects of a rare neolignan, (-)-4-O-methyldehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9'-O-β-glucopyranoside (1) in search for its new pharmaceutical effects. This compound exhibited good tyrosinase inhibition with an IC50 value of 44.62 ± 3.99 μg/mL. Enzyme kinetics and molecular modelling studies were performed to provide insights into its tyrosinase inhibition mechanism.
