RESUMO
Artemisia selengensis (AS) has been traditionally used as both food and medicine for thousands of years in China. In our studies, l-tryptophan was first isolated from the haulm of AS together with luteolin, rutin, and kaempferol-3-O-glucuronide. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including HRMS, 1D and 2D NMR. Three flavonoid compounds showed satisfactory suppression effects on the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in ß-lactoglobulin-lactose/MGO/GO model systems, and their anti-glycation activities exhibited a dose-dependent manner. Among these compounds, kaempferol-3-O-glucuronide was demonstrated to be the strongest inhibitor against the formation of AGEs.
