Abstract Background Diabetes is a long-lasting and serious disease that effect in worldwide individual lives, families, and societies. Hyperglycemia of diabetes mellitus produced Advance Glycation End Products that are associated with diabetic complications like neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular diseases. Methods In this study, the natural products isolated from of Indigofera heterantha Brandis, Indigoferin A (S1), Indigoferin B (S2) and Indigoferin C (S3) were evaluated for their in vitro antiglycation activity. Results The compounds exhibited a significant inhibitory activity against the formation of Advanced Glycation End-Products with IC50 values of 674.25 ± 3.2 μM, 407.03 ± 4.7 μM and 726.41 ± 2.1 μM, respectively. Here, important structure-activity relationship was observed, when the intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions suppressed the antiglycation activity of compound S3. Thus, the study clearly demonstrates that the number and the position of substituents act as an assisting factor and directly influence the inhibitory activity of the natural product by altering the sugar or protein binding affinity. Conclusions This study explain first time the antiglycation inhibitory ability of chemical constituents isolated from I. heterantha and can be used for above late diabetic complications.

Objective: The objectives were to study the in-vitro and in-vivo aldose reductase and in-vitro advanced glycation end products formation inhibitory activities of the standardized extracts of Picrorhiza kurroa roots and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis flowers.Methods: In-vitro Aldose reductase inhibitory activity was studied by using isolated rat lens and kidney Aldose reductase by UV-Visible spectro photo metric method by using Quercetin as reference compound. In-vivo Aldose reductase inhibitory activity was evaluated by using experimental rat models of galactosemia and the final lens galactitol was evaluated by High performance liquid chromatography and Gas chromatography methods by using Quercetin as reference compound. In-vitro advanced glycation end products formation inhibitory activity was estimated by using laboratory test reaction with protein and sugars by spectro fluorimetric method by sung aminoguanidine as reference compound. Statistical analysis of the results was done by using Analysis of the variance method.Results: The plant extracts were found to possess significant aldose reductase and advanced glycation end products formation inhibitory activity.Conclusions: More study is required for isolation and characterization of the chief chemical constituents responsible for the biological activity of the plant extracts.

This review outlines methods to investigate the structure of natural products with emphasis on intramolecular hydrogen bonding, tautomerism and ionic structures using NMR techniques. The focus is on 1H chemical shifts, isotope effects on chemical shifts and diffusion ordered spectroscopy. In addition, density functional theory calculations are performed to support NMR results. The review demonstrates how hydrogen bonding may lead to specific structures and how chemical equilibria, as well as tautomeric equilibria and ionic structures, can be detected. All these features are important for biological activity and a prerequisite for correct docking experiments and future use as drugs.

Non-enzymatic glycation and covalent modification of proteins leads to Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs). AGEs are biomarkers of aging and neurodegenerative disease, and can be induced by impaired neuronal signaling. The objective of this study was to investigate if manipulation of dopamine (DA) in vitro using the model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and in vivo using the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, influences fluorescent AGEs (fAGEs) formation as an indicator of dopamine-induced oxidation events. DA inhibited fAGEs-BSA synthesis in vitro, suggesting an anti-oxidative effect, which was not observed when flies were fed DA. Feeding flies cocaine and methamphetamine led to increased fAGEs formation. Mutants lacking the dopaminergic transporter or the D1-type showed further elevation of fAGEs accumulation, indicating that the long-term perturbation in DA function leads to higher production of fAGEs. To confirm that DA has oxidative properties in vivo, we fed flies antioxidant quercetin (QUE) together with methamphetamine. QUE significantly decreased methamphetamine-induced fAGEs formation suggesting that the perturbation of DA function in vivo leads to increased oxidation. These findings present arguments for the use of fAGEs as a biomarker of DA-associated neurodegenerative changes and for assessment of antioxidant interventions such as QUE treatment.
