Abstract
This research presents the isolation and structural elucidation of two novel lignans, designated as Jasminoside U (1) and Jasminoside W (2), from the flowers of Gardenia jasminoides. The structures of these compounds were determined using a comprehensive analytical approach that included NMR spectroscopy, HR-ESI-MS, and detailed analysis of ROE correlations and coupling constants. Additionally, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated using a standard enzyme assay protocol. The assay results demonstrated that both Jasminoside U (1) and Jasminoside W (2) possess significant inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase, with IC50 values determined to be 266 and 323 μmol/L, respectively, indicating their potential as therapeutic agents for the treatment of diabetes and related metabolic disorders.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry Letters invites rapid communications on all aspects of natural product research including:
• Structural elucidation of natural products
• Analytical evaluation of herbal medicines
• Clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacovigilance of herbal medicines
• Natural product biosynthesis
• Natural product synthesis and chemical modification
• Natural product metabolism
• Chemical ecology
• Biotechnology
• Bioassay-guided isolation
• Pharmacognosy
• Pharmacology of natural products
• Metabolomics
• Ethnobotany and traditional usage
• Genetics of natural products
Manuscripts that detail the isolation of just one new compound are not substantial enough to be sent out of review and are out of scope. Furthermore, where pharmacology has been performed on one new compound to increase the amount of novel data, the pharmacology must be substantial and/or related to the medicinal use of the producing organism.
