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
Sphaeranthus africanus L. is native in Vietnam. Little is known about α-glucosidase inhibition of Sphaeranthus africanus and its isolated compounds. A bioactive-guided isolation was applied to the Vietnamese Sphaeranthus africanus to find α-glucosidase inhibitory components. Eight compounds were detected and structurally elucidated. They are 3-angeloyloxy-5-[2'',3''-epoxy-2''-methylbutanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone, 3-angeloyloxy-5-[3''-chloro-2''-hydroxy-2''-methylbutanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone, 3-angeloyloxy-5-[2''R,3''R-dihydroxy-2''-methyl-butanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone, 3-angeloyloxy-5-[2''S,3''R-dihydroxy-2''-methylbutanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone, 3-angeloyloxy-5-[2''S,3''S-dihydroxy-2''-methylbutanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone, 5-angeloyloxy-7-hydroxy-3-tigloyloxycarvotacetone, 3-O-methylquercetin, and chrysosplenol D. Their chemical structures were elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR analysis and high-resolution mass spectroscopy as well as comparisons in literature. 3-Angeloyloxy-5-[2''S,3''S-dihydroxy-2''-methylbutanoyloxy]-7-hydroxycarvotacetone is a new compound. Isolated compounds were evaluated for the α-glucosidase inhibition. Isolated compounds showed moderate activity with IC50 values ranging from 128.9-274.3â µM while others are weak. A molecular docking study was conducted, indicating that isolated compounds are potent α-glucosidase inhibitory compounds.

From flowers of the native plant in Vietnam, 12 compounds were isolated and elucidated, including one new compound tecomastane (1) and eleven known compounds, (3S,5R,6S,7E)-5,6-epoxy-3-hydroxy-7-megastigmane-9-one (2), bosciallin (3), chakyunglupulin B (4), (2S,6R)-2,6-dimethyloctane-1,8-diol (5), cleroindicin F (6), rengyoxide (7), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (8), methyl 3,4-dihydrobenzoate (9), 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (10), luteolin (11), and indole-3-carboxylic acid (12). Compound 5 was a new natural product. The chemical structures of isolated compounds were identified by interpretation of their spectroscopic data (1D, 2D NMR, and HRESIMS) and by comparison with the literature. Compounds 1-7 and 10-12 were evaluated for alpha-glucosidase inhibition and antimicrobial activity against antibiotic-resistant, pathogenic bacteria Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Acinetobacter baumannii.
RESUMO
Two new compounds, comprising one dibenzofuran, named usneaceratin A (1), and one phenolic acid, named usneaceratin B (2), together with one known dibenzofuran, isousnic acid (3), and two known phenolics, orsellinic acid (4) and methyl orsellinate (5) were clarified from the lichen Usnea ceratina using variously chromatographic methods. Their structures were testified by comprehensive HR-ESI-MS, and NMR spectroscopic analysis, and comparison with published data. Their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of all compounds was measured. Usneaceratin B (2) possessed better inhibition against α-glucosidase enzyme (IC50 value of 41.8 µM) than the standard drug acarbose (IC50 value of 214.50 µM).

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].

From the leaves of Ricinus communis Linn., one new alkaloid, named ricicomin A (1) together with three known ones, ricinine (2), N-demethylricinine (3) and 4-[2-formyl-5-(methoxymethyl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]butanoic acid (4) were justified by repeated chromatographic methods. Their structures were determined by comprehensive IR, HR-ESI-MS and NMR analyses. Compound 4 was identified for the first time from the genus Ricinus. DFT-NMR chemical shift calculations and subsequent DP4+ probability methods were applied to confirm the chemical structure of 1. Compounds 1-3 did not display cytotoxic effect against three human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HepG2 and HeLa) using SRB assay.

Three new depsidones, parmosidones Fâ-âG (1â-â2), and 8'-O-methylsalazinic acid (3), and 3 new diphenylethers, parmetherines Aâ-âC (4â-â6), together with 2 known congeners were isolated from the whole thalli of Parmotrema dilatatum, a foliose chlorolichen. Their structures were unambiguously determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses and comparison with literature data. The isolated polyphenolics were assayed for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Newly reported benzylated depsidones 1: and 2: in particular inhibited α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 2.2 and 4.3 µM, respectively, and are thus more potent than the positive control, acarbose.
