Flavonoids may be effective inhibitors of SI in Caco-2/TC7 cells when using natural substrates maltose and sucrose. The chemical features that favor the SI inhibition by flavonoids are the presence of –OH groups at C-3, C-3′, C-4′, C-7 and C-8.

Hull/seed coat contains various plant cells that are responsible for sustaining the life of seeds in which phenolics perform significant roles in supporting their functions. In the present study, inhibitory activities against the oxidation of LDL and DNA of soluble- and insoluble-bound phenolics in the dehulled and hull fractions of lentils were determined. In addition, their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was also assessed. The hulls possessed much higher levels of phenolics in both the soluble- and insoluble-bound forms than dehulled grain fractions, and this led to their potent activities in suppressing the oxidation of LDL and DNA and inhibiting α-glucosidase activity. The high bioactivities of hulls might be due to the existence of various types of cells such as palisade and parenchyma cells containing numerous phenolics for sustaining their functions. This study may help in a better understanding of the localization of soluble- and insoluble-bound phenolics in the structure of lentil.

Nutraceutical use of algae requires understanding of the diversity and significance of their active compositions for intended activities. Ishige okamurae (I. okamurae) extract is well-known to possess α-glucosidase inhibitory activity; however, studies are needed to investigate its active composition in order to standardize its α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. In this study, we observed the intensity of the dominant compounds of each I. okamurae extract harvested between 2016 and 2017, and the different potency of each I. okamurae extract against α-glucosidase. By comparing the anti-α-glucosidase ability of the dominant compounds, a novel Ishophloroglucin A with highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was identified and suggested for standardization of anti-α-glucosidase activity in I. okamurae extract. Additionally, a validated analytical method for measurement of Ishophloroglucin A for future standardization of I. okamurae extract was established in this study. We suggest using Ishophloroglucin A to standardize anti-α-glucosidase potency of I. okamurae and propose the significance of standardization based on their composition for effective use of algae as marine-derived nutraceuticals.

Abstract. Rafi M, Septaningsih DA, Karomah AH, Lukman, Prajogo B, Amran MB, Rohman A. 2021. Inhibition of α-glucosidase activity, metals content, and phytochemical profiling of Andrographis paniculata from different geographical origins based on FTIR and UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS metabolomics. Biodiversitas 22: 1535-1542. Ensuring consistency of quality, safety, and efficacy of herbal medicines from raw materials to finished products is important because of the variability in medicinal plants' active components. One of the plants that have been used as an antidiabetic herbal medicine is A. paniculata. This study aims to determine α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, the content of several metals, FTIR spectrum profile, and putative identification of A. paniculata metabolites using UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS from different geographical origin. We found that ethanol extract of A. paniculata gave higher inhibition of α-glucosidase activity compared to water extract. Eight metals were determined using FAAS and FAES, and calcium showed the highest content in all A. paniculata samples. FTIR spectra of A. paniculata showed a similar profile and only differed in the absorbance. We detected the presence of OH, C=O, C=C aromatic, and C-O functional groups in A. paniculata extract. About 32 metabolites were putatively identified in A. paniculata, mainly from phenolic and diterpene lactones class compounds based on UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS. Using a combination of FTIR spectra and peak area from 32 identified peaks, we can clustered A. paniculata based on its geographical origin. Based on the result obtained, the geographical origin of A. paniculata affected the metals and metabolites composition and level, resulting in different levels of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity.

Raw cocoa beans were processed to produce cocoa powders with different combinations of fermentation (unfermented, cool, or hot) and roasting (not roasted, cool, or hot). Cocoa powder extracts were characterized and assessed for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity in vitro. Cocoa processing (fermentation/roasting) contributed to significant losses of native flavanols. All of the treatments dose-dependently inhibited α-glucosidase activity, with cool fermented/cool roasted powder exhibiting the greatest potency (IC50: 68.09 µg/mL), when compared to acarbose (IC50: 133.22 µg/mL). A strong negative correlation was observed between flavanol mDP and IC50, suggesting flavanol polymerization as a marker of enhanced α-glucosidase inhibition in cocoa. Our data demonstrate that cocoa powders are potent inhibitors of α-glucosidase. Significant reductions in the total polyphenol and flavanol concentrations induced by processing do not necessarily dictate a reduced capacity for α-glucosidase inhibition, but rather these steps can enhance cocoa bioactivity. Non-traditional compositional markers may be better predictors of enzyme inhibitory activity than cocoa native flavanols.

Actiniopteris dichotoma Mett. (Pteridaceae) is documented in Ayurveda for treatment of Prameha (Diabetes), Atisara and skin diseases. However, the antidiabetic properties of this plant have not been fully validated using scientific tools. The present study screens the A. dichotoma extract and fractions for enzyme inhibitory (α–amylase and α–glucosidase) activity related to type 2 diabetes. The extract was prepared using cold maceration followed by Soxhlation and finally fractionated the combined extracts. Different concentrations (0.1–0.5 mg/mL) of extract and four fractions were subjected to enzyme inhibitory assays. The absorbance was measured at 540 and 405 nm and IC50 values were calculated. Fraction 2 has shown highest α–amylase and α–glucosidase inhibitory activity, (IC50 values are 0.131 and 0.114 mg/mL) which was comparable with acarbose (0.125 and 0.093 mg/mL). Hence, further studies may throw light on the antidiabetic potential of A. dichotoma especially in the management of T2D.

Abstract This study was designed to evaluate the bioactivities such as β-glucosidase activity, α-galactosidase activity, and the growth behavior of the Lactobacillus cultures in soy milk medium. Ten Lactobacillus cultures were considered in this study. L. fermentum (M2) and L. casei (NK9) were selected due to their better α-galactosidase, β-glucosidase activity and growth behavior in soy milk medium during fermentation. Further, soy milk fermented with M2 showed higher proteolytic activity (0.67 OD) and ACE-inhibitory (48.44%) than NK9 (proteolytic activity: 0.48 OD and ACE-inhibitory activity: 41.33%). Bioactive peptides produced during the fermentation of soy milk using the selected Lactobacillus cultures were also identified with potent ACE-inhibitory activity by MALDI-TOF spectrometry, and the identified ACE inhibitory peptide sequences from fermented soy milk were characterized using Biopep database.
