RESUMO
For the first time, phytochemical constituents of the leaves of Heptapleurum ellipticum were investigated. One rare new 2,28-bidesmosidic lupane-type saponin, named heptaellipside A (1), along with four other lupane-type analogs (2-5) were purified by combining differently chromatographic methods. All of the separated compounds (1-5) were communicated for the first time from H. ellipticum. The structures of them were definitely illustrated following extensive and comprehensive UV/VIS, FTIR, HRMS/ESI, and NMR techniques. Further, all isolated compounds were evaluated for their α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition. As the results, compound 3 respectively exhibited stronger in both inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase and α-amylase (IC50 values of 15.53 and 26.93 µM), than the acarbose standard (IC50 values of 214.50 and 143.48 µM).
RESUMO
Twelve compounds were isolated from Mussaenda saigonensis aerial parts through phytochemical analysis and the genus Mussaenda is the first place where the compounds 4-6 and 11-12 have been found. Based on the ability to inhibit NO production in RAW264.7 cells, compound 2 has demonstrated the strongest anti-inflammatory activity in vitro with an IC50 of 7.6 µM, as opposed to L-NMMA's IC50 of 41.3 µM. Compound 12 was found to be the most effective inhibitor of alpha-glucosidase enzyme in vitro, with an IC50 value of 42.4 µM (compared to 168 µM for acarbose). Compounds 1-12 were evaluated in vitro for antimicrobial activity using the paper dish method. Compound 11 demonstrated strong antifungal activity against M. gypseum with a MIC value of 50 µM. In silico docking for antimicrobial activity, pose 90 or compound 11 docked well to the 2VF5 enzyme, PDB, which explains why compound 11 had the highest activity in vitro. Entry 2/pose 280 demonstrated excellent anti-inflammatory activity in silico. The stability of the complex between pose 280 and the 4WCU enzyme for anti-inflammatory activity has been assessed using molecular dynamics over a simulation course ranging from 0 to 100 ns. It has been found to be stable from 60 and 100 ns. The Tyr 159 (95%, H-bond via water bridge), Asp 318 (200%, multiple contacts), Met 273 (75%, hydrophobic interaction via water bridge), and Gln 369 (75%, H-bond via water bridge) interacted well within the time range of 0 to 100 ns. It has more hydrophilic or polar pharmacokinetics.

RESUMO
Seven flavonoid glycosides were isolated from the aerial portions of Mussaenda recurvata during a phytochemical analysis. This comprised one novel component, ecurvoside, and six well-studied compounds, namely astragalin, isoquercitrin, nicotiflorin, rutin, hesperidin, and neohesperidin. The chemical structures of compounds were identified using spectroscopic techniques and a comparison with previously published studies. Alpha-glucosidase inhibition testing was carried out on all isolated compounds. The compounds evaluated have IC50 values between 35.6 and 239.1 g mL-1, indicating a moderate degree of inhibition. In vitro antimicrobial activities of compounds 1-7 have screened against the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Streptococcus faecalis (Strep. faecalis), and fungi: Candida albicans (C. albicans), Trichophyton mentagrophytes (T. mentagrophytes), and Microsporum gypseum (M. gypseum), where compound 6 showed excellent activity against fungi T. mentagrophytes with an MIC value of 12.5 µM. In accordance with the molecular docking study, ecurvoside (1) or pose 472 interacted well with the 3TOP enzyme: PDB and the molecular dynamic simulations proved that the complex of ecurvoside and 3TOP has a stable simulation time of 50-100 ns and the significant residual amino acids in 3TOP are relative to interactions more than one time such as Asp 960, Glu 961, Lys 1088, Glu 1095, Arg 1097, Gly 1102, Thr 1103, Gln 1109, Glu 1178: A chain and Glu 1095, Thr 1101, and Asp 1107: B chain. The docking studies of compounds 1-7 to the enzyme 2VF5 explain the general mechanism to inhibit bacteria and proved that compound 6 (pose 370) inhibited stronger than compound 7 (pose 362) and compound 5 (pose 280), and compounds 1 to 4 do not interact well with 2VF5.
RESUMO

RESUMO
Little is known about the chemical and biological profiles of Dicranopteris linearis and Psychotria adenophylla. No previous studies have investigated alpha-glucosidase inhibition using extracts from D. linearis and P. adenophylla. In this paper, bioactive-guided isolation procedures were applied to the plants D. linearis and P. adenophylla based on alpha-glucosidase inhibition. From the most active fractions, 20 compounds (DL1-DL13 and PA1-PA7) were isolated. The chemical structures were elucidated using spectroscopic data and compared with those available in the literature. These compounds were evaluated for alpha-glucosidase inhibition, while a molecular docking study was performed to elucidate the mechanisms involved. Consequently, D. linearis and P. adenophylla might serve as a good potential for developing new antidiabetic preparations.
RESUMO
Serevenia buxifolia is an evergreen citrus plant and has attracted considerable attention due to its bioactive components and biological activities. In the present study, the essential oil (EO) from S. buxifolia cultivated in Vietnam was demonstrated to exhibit the in vitro antioxidant, thrombolytic, anti-hemolysis, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic activities. Briefly, the gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry analysis revealed that the leaf EO of S. buxifolia was composed of 33 components, with the main constituents being ß-carypphyllene (32.5%), and elixene (9.8%). The extracted oil possessed a fairly high free radical scavenging activity against 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), with an IC50 value of 190.7 µg/mL compared with positive control, α-tocopherol, IC50 value of 42.6 µg/mL. The EO also exhibited thrombolytic activity: the percentage of inhibition was found to be 70.75% at 100 µL, in comparison with 87.2% for the positive control, streptokinase. For hemolytic activity, the percentage of inhibition of the EO was from 27.4% to 59.6% at concentrations from 10 to 100 µg/mL, respectively. The results of in vitro anti-inflammatory activity indicated that the EO of S. buxifolia leaves effectively protects the heat-induced denaturation, with an IC50 value of 40.25 µg/mL. The EO also exhibited antidiabetic potential, with IC50 values of 87.8 and 134.9 µg/mL against α-amylase and α-glucosidase, respectively. It is noteworthy that the potent biological activities of the obtained S. buxifolia oil increased in a dose-dependent manner. The results achieved show that the EO of S. buxifolia leaves can be a potential source for oxidative stress, inflammatory, and diabetic management.
RESUMO
Bioactive-guided investigation of the aerial parts of Mussaenda recurvata Naiki, Tagane, and Yahara (Rubiaceae) led to the isolation of four triterpenes, including two new triterpenes recurvatanes A and B (1 and 2), along with two known compounds 3ß,6ß,23-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (3) and 3ß,6ß,19α,23-tetrahydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (4). The chemical structures of the compounds were identified from spectroscopic data and by comparison with the literature. A comprehensive review of NMR data of the oleanane-type triterpenes bearing 3-hydroxy and 4-hydroxymethylene groups indicated the characteristic spectroscopic features in this series. Compounds 1-4 were evaluated for the inhibitory NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Compounds 2 and 3 showed a moderate reduction of nitrite accumulation with IC50 values of 55.63 ± 2.52 and 60.08 ± 3.17 µM, respectively. Molecular docking model dedicated to compound 3 or pose 420, which is the best candidate among docking poses of compounds 1-4 interacted well with the crystal structure of enzyme 4WCU: PDB. The best ligand molecule, pose 420 in terms of binding energy obtained from docking studies on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for 100 ns exhibited non-bonding interactions with the protein and remained stable inside the active site.

Four compounds, luteolin (1), 6-γ,γ-dimethylallylquercetin 7-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside (2), 6-γ,γ-dimethylallylkaempferol 7-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside (3), and 6-γ,γ-dimethylallyldihydrokaempferol 7-O-ß-D-glucoside (4), were isolated for the first time from AcOEt extract of the O.â integerrima flower. We then evaluated the antioxidant effects of AcOEt, butanol, and MeOH extracts and their effects on H2 O2 against oxidative stress in HaCaT keratinocyte cell lines. Furthermore, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPHâ ) radical scavenging activities of 1-4 were determined and their mechanisms of action on tyrosinase were predicted by inâ silico studies. The results revealed that the AcOEt extract and 1-3 exhibited good DPPHâ radical scavenging activity. Furthermore, this extract also had a significant protective effect against H2 O2 -induced oxidative stress in HaCaT cells. Inâ silico studies indicated that the activity of 1-3 may be due to tyrosinase inhibition with MM-GBSA free binding energies of -78.9, -70.1, and -71.1â kcal mol-1 , respectively, compared to 4 with an energy -56.9â kcal mol-1 .

Extensive fractionation of n-hexane extract from the dried powdered-trunks of Coffea canephora Pierre ex A.Froehner (Rubiaceae) led to the isolation of a new oleanane-skeleton triterpene, coffecanolic acid (1), along with three known analogues sumaresinolic acid (2), oleanolic acid (3), and 3-O-acetyloleanolic acid (4). The chemical structures were elucidated using FT-IR, 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS data analysis. The isolated compounds were assayed for in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity by determining their half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50, µM). Compounds 1-4 exhibited higher inhibitory activities when compared with acarbose, a positive control. Compound 1 was found to be the most potent molecule against α-glucosidase, with the IC50 = 83.0 ± 1.2 µM, which improved by 2.5-fold over acarbose (IC50 = 209.8 ± 0.3 µM) in this assay.[Formula: see text].

Bioactive-guided phytochemical investigation of Euphorbia antiquorum L. growing in Vietnam led to the isolation of five ent-atisanes, one seco-ent-atisane, and one lathyrane (ingol-type). The structures were elucidated as ent-1α,3α,16ß,17-tetrahydroxyatisane (1), ethyl ent-3,4-seco-4,16ß,17-trihydroxyatisane-3-carboxylate (2), ent-atisane-3-oxo-16ß,17-acetonide (3), ent-3α-acetoxy-16ß,17-dihydroxyatisane (4), ent-16ß,17-dihydroxyatisane-3-one (5), calliterpenone (6), and ingol 12-acetate (7). Their chemical structures were unambiguously determined by analysis of one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high resolution mass spectrometry, as well as by comparison with literature data. Among them, 1 is a new compound while 2 is an ethylated artifact of ent-3,4-seco-4,16ß,17-trihydroxyatisane-3-carboxylic acid, a new compound. Isolates were evaluated for alpha-glucosidase inhibition. Compound 3 showed the most significant inhibitory activity against alpha-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 69.62 µM. Further study on mechanism underlying yeast alpha-glucosidase inhibition indicated that 3 could retard the enzyme function by noncompetitive.
