Introduction: Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr. (Family: Asteraceae) is mainly popular in South-East Asian countries for its traditional medicinal properties. It is usually used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of eruptive fevers, rash, kidney disease, migraines, constipation, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cancer. It is commonly used as a traditional medicine in Vietnam for the treatment of many diseases. Methods: The leaves and trunks of G. procumbens were collected, macerated with methanol. The extracts from MeOH-soluble extract were processed by the column chromatographic technique to give pure compounds and the nuclear magnetic resonance methods were applied to determine their chemical structures. The inhibitory activities of these extracts against α-glucosidase were conducted and compared with acarbose. Results: Seven organic compounds were isolated and determined the structures, including syringic acid (1), quercetin (2), N,N-dimethylanthranilic acid (3), dehydrovomifoliol (4), β-sitosterol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), schottenol (6), montanic acid (7). The inhibition of α-glucosidase test results the IC50 values of the four extracts which were lower than those of acarbose. Conclusion: Seven pure compounds were identified from the leaves and trunks of G. procumbens, including two compounds being isolated from G. procumbens for the first time. The test results showed that the the parts of G. procumbens were active as α-glucosidase inhibitor, which would be useful to support the treatment for diabetes.

MeOH extracts of 37 herbs were tested in screening experiments for rat intestinal α-glucosidase. The MeOH extract of the aerial parts of Scutellaria lateriflora L. (Lamiaceae) significantly inhibited sucrase and maltase activities, using sucrose and maltase as the substrates. Enzyme inhibition guided-fractionation of the MeOH extract of S lateriflora resulted in the isolation of a new diterpene glucoside, deacetylajugarin-IV 18- O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), along with 20 known phenolics (2-21). The structures of 1-21 were elucidated on the basis of MS and NMR data analyses. Baicalein (4) and baicalin (10), a glycoside of 4, showed moderate sucrase inhibitory activities at IC50 values of 14.9 and 36.3 μM, respectively, whereas luteolin (3), acteoside (16), leucosceptoside A (18), and isoacteoside (20) showed weak inhibitory activities at IC50 values of 811, 522, 727, and 443 μM, respectively. This is the first report on mammalian α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of S lateriflora extract and identification of the constituents responsible for the activities. Apigenin (2), luteolin (3), 6-methoxyluteolin 4'-methyl ether (6), isoscutellarin 8- O-β-D-glucuronide (7), luteolin 7- O-β-D-glucuronide (9), wogonin 7- O-β-D-glucuronide methyl ester (12), eriodictyol (13), naringenin (14), naringenin 7- O-β-D-glucuronide (15), jionoside D (17), leucosceptoside A (18), and (+)-syringaresinol 4'- O-β-D-glucopyranoside (21) were isolated from this plant for the first time. The inhibitory properties of S lateriflora extract against α-glucosidase provide a prospect for its antidiabetic usage.

Abstract β-sitosterol and two triterpenoids: ursolic acid acetate and platanic acid have been isolated from ethanolic extract of Vitex trifola leaves. β-sitosterol was previously isolated from the leaves, stem and seeds of Vitex trifolia. Ursolic acid acetate has been isolated for the first time in this plant species. Platanic acid has been reported for the first time in Vitex trifolia and even in the family of this plant: Verbenaceae. These compounds were characterized using spectroscopic methods including 1D-1HNMR, 13CNMR, ESIMS and 2D-NMR (HSQC, HMBC, COSY) experiments and confirmed by comparison of their NMR data with those from the literature. A preliminary molluscicidal test for ethanol, chloroform and n-hexane extracts of leaves of Vitex trifolia against Biomphalaria alexandrina adult snails showed that ethanol extract of leaves with LC50 value 26.42 mg/l (27.92 mg/l - 24.99 mg/l) was more effective than n-hexane extract with LC50 value 35.48 mg/l (43.81 mg/l - 28.72mg/l) and chloroform extract with LC50 value 46.77 mg/l (53.59 mg/l - 43.81 mg/l) after 24 h exposure.
