Abstract
Phytochemical study of the fruits of Lycium chinense Mill. allowed the identification of eight undescribed phenylpropanoid glycosides, namely lychinosides A-H (1–8), along with five known compounds (9–13). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated through detailed analysis of spectroscopic data (HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR) and acid hydrolysis experiment. Compounds 1, 3–6, 8–10, 12, and 13 could significantly increase the glucose consumption in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells at 50 μM, and compounds 1 and 9 could improve the glucose uptake capacity of insulin-resistant HepG2 cells and enhance the hexokinase and pyruvate kinase activities. In addition, compound 9 exhibited excellent inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 16.8 μM, comparable to that of the positive control acarbose (300.0 μM).
