Five isoflavanoids including one new, (3 R)–2′,4′,5,7-tetrahydroxy-6-methylisoflavanone (1), were isolated from the aerial parts of Desmodium heterophyllum. Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods. Their inhibitory effects on digestive enzymes α-glucosidase and α-amylase were evaluated. Genistein (5) and dalbergioidin (2) inhibited both enzymes. Their IC50 values were found at 110.4 and 162.8 μM for α-amylase, and at 257.3 and 412.6 μM for α-glucosidase, respectively.

AbstractThree new bisindole alkaloids, 3′-(2-oxopropyl)-19,20-dihydrotabernamine (1), 3′-(2-oxopropyl)-ervahanine B (2), 19,20-dihydrovobparicine (3), and 20 known compounds were isolated from the aerial parts of Tabernaemontana bufalina. The structures of these alkaloids were elucidated using spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations of 1–3 were determined by the circular dichroic exciton chirality method. Compounds 1–23 were screened for their cytotoxicity against two human cancer cell lines, A-549 and MCF-7. Ten compounds (1–3, 10, 14, 16, 17, 19, 22, and 23) exhibited inhibitory effects against the two human cancer cells with IC50 values of 1.19 ~ 6.13 µM.

Abstract. The goals of this study were to determine and evaluate the bioaccessibility of total anthocyanin and procyanidin in apple (Amasya, Malus communis), red grape (Papazkarası, Vitis vinifera) and cinnamon (Cassia, Cinnamomum) using an in vitro static digestion system based on human gastrointestinal physiologically relevant conditions. Also, in vitro inhibitory effects of these foods on lipid (lipase) and carbohydrate digestive enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) were performed with before and after digested samples using acarbose and methylumbelliferyl oleate (4MUO) as the positive control. While the highest total anthocyanin content was found in red grape (164 ± 2.51 mg/100 g), the highest procyanidin content was found in cinnamon (6432 ± 177.31 mg/100 g) (p < 0.05). The anthocyanin bioaccessibilities were found as 10.2 ± 1%, 8.23 ± 0.64%, and 8.73 ± 0.70% in apple, red grape, and cinnamon, respectively. The procyanidin bioaccessibilities of apple, red grape, and cinnamon were found as 17.57 ± 0.71%, 14.08 ± 0.74% and 18.75 ± 1.49%, respectively. The analyzed apple, red grape and cinnamon showed the inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (IC50 544 ± 21.94, 445 ± 15.67, 1592 ± 17.58 μg/mL, respectively), α-amylase (IC50 38.4 ± 7.26, 56.1 ± 3.60, 3.54 ± 0.86 μg/mL, respectively), and lipase (IC50 52.7 ± 2.05, 581 ± 54.14, 49.6 ± 2.72 μg/mL), respectively. According to our results apple, red grape and cinnamon have potential to inhibit of lipase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase digestive enzymes.

Coffee cherry is a rich source of chlorogenic acids (CGAs) and caffeine. In this study we examined the potential antioxidant activity and enzyme inhibitory effects of whole coffee cherries (WCC) and their two extracts on α-amylase, α-glucosidase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities, which are targets for the control of diabetes and Alzheimer’s diseases. Whole coffee cherry extract 40% (WCCE1) is rich in chlorogenic acid compounds, consisting of a minimum of 40% major isomers, namely 3-caffeoylquinic acids, 4-caffeoylquinic acids, 5-caffeoylquinic acids, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 4-feruloylquinc acid, and 5-feruloylquinc acid. Whole coffee cherry extract 70% (WCCE2) is rich in caffeine, with a minimum of 70%. WCCE1 inhibited the activities of digestive enzymes α-amylase and α-glucosidase, and WCCE2 inhibited acetylcholinesterase activities with their IC50 values of 1.74, 2.42, and 0.09 mg/mL, respectively. Multiple antioxidant assays—including DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, ORAC, HORAC, NORAC, and SORAC—demonstrated that WCCE1 has strong antioxidant activity.

Two new glycosides of 30-normedicagenic acid, namely 3- O-[ β-D-glucuronopyranosyl methyl ester]-2 β,3 β-dihydroxy-30-noroleane-12,20(29)-diene-23,28-dioic acid 28- O-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester, and 3- O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-2 β,3 β-dihydroxy-30-noroleane-12,20(29)-diene-23,28-dioic acid, together with the known 3- O-β-glucopyranosyl-2 β,3 β-dihydroxy-30-noroleane-12,20(29)-diene-23,28-dioic acid 28- O-β-glucopyranosyl ester, and 3- O-β-glucuronopyranosyl-2 β,3 β-dihydroxy-30-noroleane-12,20(29)-diene-23,28-dioic acid 28- O-β-glucopyranosyl ester were isolated from the aerial parts of Chenopodium foliosum Asch. The structures of the compounds were determined by means of spectroscopic methods (1D and 2D NMR, UV, IR) and HRMS-ESI. The compounds were tested for cytotoxicity on three leukemic cell lines (BV-173, SKW-3, HL-60). In addition, the saponins showed moderate stimulatory effects on interleukin-2 production in PHA/PMA stimulated Jurkat E6.1 cells.

The detailed investigation of a methanolic extract of aerial parts of Achillea pannonica SCHEELE. within a chemotaxonomic study led to the isolation of 6 flavonoid glycosides. Besides rutin, apigenin-7-O-glucopyranoside, luteolin-7-O-glucopyranoside, apigenin-7-O-rutinoside and acacetin-7-O-rutinoside, an unusual flavondiglucoside was isolated. Its structure was established by UV, 1HNMR and 13C NMR spectroscopic methods including 2D-NMR techniques and ESI-MS as luteolin-7,4′-O-β-diglucoside. This substance is reported for the first time in the genus Achillea. Chemotaxonomic aspects are discussed briefly

Three natural clovane-related sesquiterpenoids, 2β-acetoxyclovan-9α-ol (1), 9α-acetoxyclovan-2β-ol (2) and clovan-2β,9β-diol (3), were isolated from the gorgonian coral Rumphella antipathies. The structures of clovanes 1–3 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and by comparison of the spectral data with those of known clovane analogues. This is the first time that clovanes 1–3 have been isolated from a natural source. Clovanes 1 and 2 displayed inhibitory effects on the generation of superoxide anions and the release of elastase by human neutrophils.
