Title: α-Glucosidase-inhibitory iminosugars from the leaves of Suregada glomerulata.
Authors: Yan RY, Wang HQ, Liu C, Kang J, Chen RY.
Abstract: A water extract of the leaves of Suregada glomerulata (Euphorbiaceae) was found to inhibit rat small intestinal α-glucosidase. An examination of the extract afforded 20 iminosugars including one pyrrolidine and 19 piperidines. The structures of the 10 new compounds (11-20) were determined by NMR, and MS spectroscopic data analyses, and chemical correlations. The novelty of the identified compounds mainly stems from the loss of a hydroxy at C-4 and the presence of an 8-hydroxyoctyl side chain. Nine N-alkyl derivatives including N-methyl (1a, 8a, and 13a), N-butyl (1b, 2b, and 9b) and N,N-dimethyl (1c, 2c, and 9c) were synthesized. The compounds were tested for rat small intestinal α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. In total, 15 compounds, including compounds 11, 12, 15, and 19 and the three derivatives 8a, 9b, and 13a, showed inhibitory activity with IC50 values less than 40μM. In vivo results showed that total alkaloids of S. glomerulata (10mg/kg) and four major iminosugars 1, 2, 3, and 9 (10mg/kg) can lower the postprandial blood glucose level after sucrose and starch load in healthy male ICR mice.
